As far as i can see it meets all the legal requirements needed for a MOT. The shell was already RWD when it came to me (genesis kit), all i've done is build it back together, theres plenty of other people out there doing escort to sierra floor plans and using them on the road. I can't see it being a major issue, i got it all insured for what it is spec wise. Helps having a good guy MOT tester as well i suppose
