Welcome Liam. Road Track Race distributes the Rocket kit and their website can be found at www.smartsrus.com/rtr_rocket.htmlAs for parts you will need from the donor: Engine & Transmission. Drive shaft & front hubs. Radiator & Fan (non aircon). Engine mounts, fuel pump & fuel gauge sender. Number plate lights, bolts & fixings, header tank, brake fluid reservoir with flexi brake pipes. Diagnostic port. Steering column, switch gear, ignition lock & wheel ECU, complete with engine bay, wiring loom & sensors Rear calipers & discs (subject to Focus Model) Hand Brake, Gear Lever Cables Exhaust Manifold, Seat Belts, Wheels & Tyres. Some other Rocket builders will have to chime in on total cost, but it will depend on how you want to build it. Probably as low as 7k but likely higher. All the pricing info on the kit is available at www.smartsrus.com/rtr_rocket_kitprice.htmlHope that helps!

Hi Liam
I understand the introduction on another thread now. If your focus is a runner it's the perfect donor for a rocket. I have build mine for about £7500, including the donor at £1000, so you will be able to complete it for a little less.
As you are in Birmingham, it's well worth a little run over to Notingham to chat to Road Track Race. They can show you the current Rockets and talk you through what you would need. They can supply you with most of what you need and then the build commences.
Cheers
