Evenin, few pics of my latest project!

Putting the 1800 zetec in the bonus made a crackin wee car so decided next time to do a 2.0 16v zetec! Along came this little delight from my contacts:





she's a '97 Mondeo 2.0 GLX with 88k roughly on clock, perfect engine but out of mot, just what i was after! Drove it home to make sure engine was sound which it was, bargain at £65!!

Plan was to find another good base model shell as they seem to be more looked after, however a clean, tidy and very suprisingly solid XR3i came my way, in the best colour with a knackered engine - perfect









If you can see past the cheesy bits, its a very good shell! dunno about the script on the number plates though lol:



Out comes original engine (non runner due to conrod smashing through side of block)



And de-chavved a bit and a good wash:



the zetec bolted up to the original xr g/box, nearly ready to go in, still to swap sump and water pump and do a timing belt:



Hoping to get engine in at weekend - car will look fairly standard but have all the right bits under the bonnet and underneath - should be fun
