hmmmm sort of but it still involves cutting the transmisson tunnel in and welding in all the new suspension points. ive seen some conversions leave the inner wings in but the car still gets a good hacking up.

i did this, converted a mk4 escort to rwd using sierra running gear.
cut out inner bays, welded in sierra inner bays(allready bolted to crossmember)
welded in sierra tunnel and then welded in sierra mounting points for the back axle.
the whole project was on the old rsoc site. used all cosworth running gear, a nice project to do, but only if you can weld ok
