Default series 1 resto, plus new engine

well i blew my headgasket 6 weeks ago, and the car has been sat outside my house doing nothin and have decided before i get the engine sorted i will treat the car to a full respray, including engine bay the outside doesnt really need doing, but there are a few small area that are starting to go, but i just as well make the whole thing look minty mint..

as regards to the engine i am not sure weather to go back to standard as it currently has a 1.8zvh, or go better with a full 2l zetec, but at the minute the engine is the last thing on me mind.

here is a pic of what it looked like this afternoon


have been busy tonight stripping out the engine bay plus wiring loom, here are some pics










an hoping to have it finished by xmas but not really to fussed as long as its definatly ready for next summer,

Any comments appriciated
