Well just to report that I managed my target of getting the car up and running by Sunday evening. Had a few small issues during the day with pipe work and the Magnex exhaust back box not fitted the rear end properly but nothing to dramatic, So after cutting off the SHOCKING 4" rolled in tail pipe off, then having to cut off the back box hanger to reposition it so that the new tail pipe would line up with the cut out of the bumper, I gave every thing fitted a checked over and added fluids.



The coil pack feed was removed to get a bit of oil around the engine and when reconnect it started straight off the key. After letting it run up to temp I found the fans were not coming on so changed the 77'/88' low temp fan switch for the higher rated one out of the old motor and the fans now go on and off as they should do, after testing the sensor I found it was faulty. Apart from that I had a tiny leak from the passenger side of the rad end tank which seams to have stopped itself.



So took it for a run on Sunday and so far have clocked up 120 fault less miles I did change the ISCV and the water temp sensor in the inlet manifold as it was hunting a bit, also turned the idle screw in a few turns and now seems to run spot on.



So with all that done it needs a good clean ready for Saturday and then off to Castle Combe for the Forge Motorsport day, Got the car on the Welsh Ford stand so fell free to have a nose if your there.



And a few pics of the finished item

Unmodified bumper



Got a few changes to make in the engine bay like paint the rocker cover and cross over, also got an ib5 box to fit an S2 LSD into and change all the brakes. But at least it's up and running.
