Default Escort rs turbo s2 rebuild

Hi guys I'm new to passion ford I bought this about a month ago. My plans are to touch up a few areas like battery tray. Altho it has been replaced just want to smooth out the welds and same in another area I want to give her a check all over to make sure there's nothing lurking about. As you can see I do need to get quite a few parts for her. Today got a 2.0ltr zetec block today so will be stripping it down soon and getting ready for turbo. Bores look good.

I'm going to do my best mate. This is the 1st time I will be doing a zvh so will need a bit of help with this. I'm lucky with the parts side as as you can see she needs a lot of parts but o do have a mate who I saw today that has about 2 escort rs turbo cars that he's broke so a few things coming from him.

So collected a few little bits. Got a st170 head. Went for this as it has larger ports and will flow better. I will keep the vvt so will need to decide on the best ECU for that. And got a st170 gearbox as well. So before I start with doing anything with underside will want to fabricate the mounts. Now does anyone have any info on this please??? Thanks to A9 TUE for the parts.
