Has anyone considered using a mondeo as a donor car not just for the power plant but for the running gear also.
If not I am considering using a 2.0 L zetec power plant . Can this be used in conjunction with the sierra running gear for a haynes roadster inspired
project?

look left - 2.0 zetec from a W plate mondeo...
i dare say there are other parts you could use. such as, steering column.
what fitting are the brake calipers?
alternatively, look at something like the Sylva mojo / Riot
Why not go with the mk3 mondeo, and have a car like your avatar
The only thing thats worth using is the engine.
All the chassis components are no good for a locost
IMHO
In uncle rons book, it says that front wheel drive locosts have been built before. I have never seen a picture of one but if you wanted to use the
running gear, why not have a go

Great idea using a Mundaneo!
I use them all the time. £50 will get you a nail but there are excellent value ones at the moment. Dont get a flood damaged one though without kicking
it up as there have been 80,000 water damaged cars available over the last few months and some have been drybollicked.
I use loads of parts from them inc hubs, shafts, ecu, column, hand brake, calipers and v5. Regards Stuart. New MEV R2 is Mondeo based.

Maybe no good for a seven but presumably 'locost' could cover other designs. This looks nice - Richard Stewart's mondeo-based snakey thing:
