hi and another project starts
hello everyone
here's my 2.0 esp its got front and rear collection
bumper's st170 brakes uprated antiroll bars
port and polished head with big cams blue-
fin and on coilovers and other bits etc etc
All in all she a quick and good looking car.
so here she is

now after months of trying to sell my 2.0 esp last
saturday i may slightly snapped ....
And decided to keep my focus as i had spent so much
money on her and to be honest i dont really want her
ragged by anyone else.
But anyway that saturday i got the engine out as it was
making a bottom end knocking sound.
so saturday moring

later that day

but then the next day it all went really wrong
as me and my mate there lifting the engine out of
the pit we didnt properly secure the lifting strap's
and it fell 6 foot back in to the pit crank first with
the gearbox still on the back
as you can see from the oily marks up the wall this
was a horrid mess and just really bad

my engine has had it the bottom of the block
has a slight crack in. And who ever put the head
back on my engine is a complete TW** as they
stripped the bolts yay

but iv manger to save all the working bits from it
which is a bonus i guess.
the gearbox is fine a still select gear it just
really really oily

so now the intersting bit the car is to become
a fast road and track car once iv got my workshop
clear again as you can see theres a puma with no
wheels over my pit

but this is good because it gives my time to
thing of what to do. what engine to put in.
iv thought about rs focus engine to st170's to zvh
but thats why im here. i just wanted to see what other
ford fans think. cheers hope you enjoyed your read
