Default RST lump into Mk2 Fiesta

Just been offered a mint Mk2 Fiesta with low mileage. I'm now thinking of throwing the running gear of my rather crispy ERST in the little Fiesta.

I'm sure it has been done lots of times before. What potential problems are there? Does it fit in straightaway or will I have to start cutting bodywork up?

Any help is much appreciated!

just changed mine to zvh only major part is you have to put a notch in cross member to make room for the down pipe also there aint much room for the cooler if you dont want to start cutting the front panel to bits

Cheers mate! Sounds do-able then.

If you don't mind, can you give me a few more details? e.g. what Fiesta parts did you keep and which ones did you change over from the Escort (suspension, wheel hubs, gearbox/engine beam, etc.)?
