Default mk4 escort convertable project

ive just bought this shell off of my mate for the pricely sum of £50. There is hardly any rot on it that i can find all sills and arches are solid etc, it's got an rs turbo bonnet and bodykit and currently has a zetec engine fitted thats going to be removed as its only a 1.6 plans are to paint it orange and fit a 2.0 mondeo zetec as i already have a mondeo sat here that no one wants to buy.

Are there any guides for fitting the zetec engine mainly the wiring that needs to be changed over

current state of play
and the possible donor
