Mid Engine Conversion - What Donor?
Hi All,
I have a mad idea to put the complete sub-frame, engine, gearbox etc from a modern front wheel drive production car into the back of my project
truck.
This has been done before using parts from a 2 litre Ford Focus.
Any reason why I couldn't use an ST170 Focus?
I would be using the engine, gearbox, sub-frame, suspension and loom.
Any other cars I could look at for the transplant?
Advice appreciated.
Thanks for looking!

St170 is basically the same as a 2L but with a very nice 6 speed CR getrag box, its cable operated too so easy to get the shift working.
Go for it!

The Audi 1.8 turbo engine could be fun?
