I've been thinking of a new project, a focus estate ST turbo. Using a 2007 ish focus estate.

Back in the old days when doing similar things to a escort using rs turbo stuff it was just case of swapping everything over from a donor vehicle.

With modern electrics and things like canbus would it still be a case of fitting a full focus st wiring loom and adapting the wiring for the rear lights. Would things like airbags all tally up or could I be opening a big can of worms?

Safety first no matter what, no good saving a few quid if you die trying.
