Anyone built an RS rep from a Kuga donor?

[Doesitdrive]

With the ST150 project just about finished, me and the boy looking for something to play with. I hear this has been done before.

This Kuga came our way for not a lot of money, well used but well loved too, loads of service history but 207k.
Its a manual 2.5T, the 5 cylinder Volvo derived engine and AWD.

Apparently pretty much all bolts into a Focus shell, which I have a few of, well dead ones, obviously would need suspension lower, or build an off road Focus.

Thinking more stripped out track car than an actual rep.

Anyone done anything like it, if so, what are the big hurdles to jump ?

I recall a guy in Malta offered this some years back, although this may help as a starter:
