Tried to paint the engine block but even with a heater in the shed it was still way below the minimum temp for the paint which is probably why it didn't turn out so good but as it's only a track car it will do. Its the lower half of an ST170 engine and fitted to it is a light weight flywheel using ARP bolts and a focus RS clutch covered up with the RS gearbox

Have also decided to get rid of the old track car, the turbo engine is being put into storage, the RS front suspension, brakes and drive shafts will be used on the new car along with any other useful bits but due to time and the weather everything is being temp fitted with a plan to clean, paint and fully fit later. I hope this will help me get more organised but who knows?
