Yea kept all the kit and bonnet, I'm gonna keep it looking like a road car bar some slicks on the outside.

Yea it's a bit of a lemon, I didn't check it over as it was highly recommended by a good friend and quite famous man in the ford community
Now I'm glad you asked these questions as I've been questioning this myself as a mate looked at the car and said it looks like standard rs engine, how can I tell without ripping the engine apart??
The dip stick comes out between the head and the inlet manifold, it points towards the wiper motor?
