Though it was about time i posted up a project thread for my motor.

A little history on the car..

I got the car about a month ago from a guy in the Isle of White, a few problems followed with low oil pressure and certain things going wrong such as the bonnet catch getting caught then the car overheating because i couldnt get to the engine to top up with water. On the way to a mates garage to sort out the stuck bonnet the engine overheated and cut out. I decided to source a new engine and managed to get one pretty quick from a guy on here (Dave) the engine has been fully rebuilt so will be getting dropped in this week and then i will start pulling my old CVH apart and see if its warped the head or caused any major damage etc. If it hasnt i might in the future Forge the engine and rebuild it in its entirity to keep as a spare.

Once the engine is fitted there are a few loose ends i want to sort out with the car little things such as rear demister switch,fog light switch, clips for the bonnet vents and the passenger electric window switch need replacing.

My old 5 spoke mondeo alloys are going to be refurbished in white for the show season because RST look great sat on them style of alloys. Will then have two spare sets of standard RST alloys.

Then the car will need new tax and setting up at MSD in blackpool for the new engine. The engine on a very similair setup in its old rst ran 188bhp/200lb ft @ 17psi so im hoping to be close to that figure once its set up.
