On the front strut towers, maybe drill/cut out what you need for the shock reservoir, then create a sheet steel support, cut out the same way, to 'cap' the top of the tower for structural support. Weld it on. BTW, may not have been an attention grabber, but more people will be buying the Hyundai than whatever else is more fun, so a review on those are still worth it. Besides, you're doing it.

For the strut hole, maybe try a hole saw. People who track their Mustangs will open up the center strut hole to allow for more camber. Vorshlag even has a tool you can use to open up the hole a bit, then a bit of touch up paint to protect the exposed metal. Worth looking into!

Sarah, between the Aluminum Seat Mounts and their Angle Iron counterparts you really need to put a Corrosion Barrier (2 dissimilar metals coming in direct contact with one another, even with paint between will cause the weaker metal which in this case is the aluminum to corrode). Take it from an Air Force Aircraft Structure Mechanic of 20 years, who also did Corrosion Control. Use a thin piece of Hard Rubber or similar, maybe even gasket material between the two if you aren't going to paint the aluminum.

Sarah the volvo s40 has the awd bits. the focus mk1, mk2 and platform sharing volvos all use the same rear subframe design and sub frame mounting points. the arms are slightly different dependant on track etc. so you could bolt up a s40 subframe including haldex diff, get a gearbox adaptor plate for the engine of your choice and away you go. same wheelbase so can use the prop too. get a standalone haldex controller to run the haldex unit to keep the electrics simple.
