over_head_cam Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Welcome to OSF Neil. That's a great choice for a 1st car. Have a browse around the forum, in particular the Fiesta room and never be afraid to ask for info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEm Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Welcome mate. Swapping out the suspension & brakes from an early XR2 is a very easy job you can do at home. Easy bolt on swap. Sourcing from eBay and breakers shouldn't be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
