Default Fiesta Project

Hi, I have a fiesta mk3 from 92 but it needs a refurbishment so i was thinking to do either a RWD, MR or an AWD conversion but in all of them i have some worries

RWD you need to cut a lot of metal to fit the engine espetiaclly if to put it on top (or behind) the axle for better weight distribution i think you d mess the rigidity of the car.

for an MR i was told that you would have very little weight on the front wheels and the front might slide in tight corners and i do not want to crash it immediatly.

AWD my plan is to use it for maltese hillclimb (since i m from Malta) and here in most hairpins all 4x4 (including celicas, imprezas and evo s ) have problems turning all the way they slow down a lot....

Any ideas in what is best for me???

Thanks alot

the one that was for sale a couple of yeas ago in siggiewi right ??? has the round front lights. I ve seen that and if my memory serves me well the engine sits in front of the front suspention so when braking and cornering it messes with the handling i dont like that lol but if i see the car with the owner next to it i ll ask him a couple of questions.

Thanks
