Default Connect ST225
Afternoon,
I'm about to embark on a transit connect conversion, I've seen a couple of threads but has anyone finished a ST225 one? I've just got my hands on a complete front end from an 06 focus and I've already got the connect.

If anyone has any useful tips or advice please let me know.

Thanks steve

It has been attempted a few times but never completed as far as I'm aware as it is just too wide for the connect/mk1 focus bay.

Surely making new mounts is easier than doing a rear wheel drive connect?

Also look on Chorley Street Garage Facebook page, they've done a few Focus RS conversions.
