this was the workshop about 3 weeks ago, just about insulated and pannelled... alos had the lights and sockets wired in too:
and this is it now, i finished about an hour ago
so time for me to get an engine stand, stripping back to the bare block and head (to work out what i need to keep and what i dont), and start sorting through and organising the parts i have...
as for throttle bodies or management, as i'm paying out for my insurance in a few days i'm back to square one, gonna keep the car running until i can afford to buy all the bits (hopefully in a couple of months with some luck) then i will set to getting the bad-boy in
in the mean time, there will be some light bodywork done, and attack some small patches of rust that are appearing (majority will be sorted sometime next year, as i plan to get a full de-dent and respray), and the engine bay/behind front bumper will be done whilst the engine is out
watch this space!

some more compiled updates:
everything finally arrived (i hope)
my favourite bits:
lightweight alternator
Tensioner (from ford), modified to give more clearance (by cosworth)
lightweight water pump pulley... my one and only cosworth branded part, lol
hopefully this weeked should get it all bolted on and then i'm not far away from starting the conversion.
update...
alternator is on :thumbsup:
in the meantime, whilst at peewee's the other week, he kindly took some pics as the car had been back into the bodyshop to have the bonnet sorted (wasn't happy with the way it'd been done), and to have the paint on the wing and grill sorted (bad sprayer).
and i just like this pic
cheers peewee :thumbsup:
Well, no updates still, finding it hard to motivate myself when its so cold, but to keep things up to date, i have bought a few new parts..
these are thanks to Peewee :thumbsup:
Omex Series 600 ecu
Vibratrechnics engine mounts (hopefully i can use/mod for use)
Quaife ATB Diff
Also, these came through the post this morning:
330cc injectors (plus 1 spare)
and i didnt mention this, but a few months back i purchased:
this GRS alloy rad and fan (from a zetec turbo FRST) again, should fit with a little adjustment.
and fingers crossed, i think i've located a couple of other cages which i'm currently negotiating with the owners to sort a deal for one.
so anyway, thats the current update, this w/e after i've wrapped presents i'm gonna make a start on the gearbox with an aim to have it rebuilt by the end of my christmas holiday (2nd Jan)
RIght final update (26/12/06) - i'm dismantling the gearbox
I have also purchased a rollcage, and waiting on delivery

should be somewhere in the region of 180-200bhp when it goes in
once i've "finished" the car i.e. got the car resprayed etc then i'll consider building a full 'balls out' duratec to slot in
