Front ARB mounts completed today and the G/Box mount/prop UJ has been started, this will dictate the final shape of the tunnel. I'll post pics later this week of the completed tunnel and possibly the panelled boot floor.

new turrets + rad + intercooler mounted


closer shot of the turrent and subframe mount, and bulkhead mods


a boot floor!!!!! the fuel cell is under this floor roughly where the original wheel well was. Filler is to be modified to retain original filler cap etc.

Eta i beleive is paint underneath and engine bay sometime at the end of next week.

More than a Focus, The orion was never ment for this conversion, nothing helps its self, bulkhead is to far forward compared to and Escos, the rear chassis rails are alot wider apart than the sierra or focus shells meaning there is nothing to mount to for the rear beam so everything is made from scratch There is around 190 hours work from the shell being bare to what you see.
