Well got engine in today:



Will get better pics when its out of garage but its bolted up to a 1.3 Fiesta 5 speed box with cvh flywheel. Bolted in fine, cradle is all bolted up and engine is sitting at the right height to start making an engine mount!

In terms of bonnet closing, got two options.... If we put the raisers at the back it closes fine or without the raisers, we need to remove the o/s vent and it just pokes out nicely

Also bought this:



Came along very cheaply as was outta tax and test and had been badly vandalised



Cabrio provided newish lowered suspension, a new exhaust, spare wheels and lots of daft bits we needed for the XR like driveshafts and various bolts - got lifted for scrap yesterday 8)

XR gettin moved to mates garage with power very soon to get the mount sussed out then connect it all up 8)
