Hi guys, I live in the states and recently bought 2 1980 Fiestas. 1 is an S trim and the other a Ghia. I got plans to turn the Ghia into a modern, relatively budget rally car using the drivetrain out of a 2007 Focus. Duratec 2.3L (maybe turbo)
As for the S, I got bigger plans. A street/track oriented build using the drivetrain out of a 2017-ish Focus RS. I know this is ambitious, but I think I can get it done by doing something closer to just a body swap.
During these builds I'm gonna have a ton of qquestions. I'll have a Topic/Thread dedicated to each of them. If y'all got any ideas or suggestions I'd love to hear it! Had this idea for quite a few years and just got my hands on some good bodies. I'll get started here pretty soon. Already got the floor and engine mounted mostly in the Ghia.
