      I recall seeing a thread where someone was adapting the rear suspension from an E-GT. Looks like it was a considerable amount of work. Certainly not a drop-in deal.

      Not sure if anyone's done that with the front end. Sure would be nice if it were possible to do.

      Focustiva: Because I was told it was was impossible to fit a Focus bumper on a Festiva.

        I would imagine a Capri IRS swap would be similar to an EGT, eh?

          you can use the calipers with aspire hubs and rotors, that is about it.

          you should sell me the rear calipers so I can design an adapter and have it mass produced at the machine shop I work at.
