There are many more Cosworths that are better than my one, that's for sure. But i'm not aiming to be the best either i'm just doing it how i want it to look. But thanks for the feedback guys

By the way, here is a pic of the front i forgot to upload. Now i only need a new fog lamp for the left which obviously is a pain in the ass to find.

During weekend the engine has finally been lifted into the car, almost seven months since it was there last time. It was a magic moment, suddenly the result of all the hard work did come to real sight. I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

Many thanks for all the nice comments

Been really busy the last two weeks but will probably get some spare time to continue on the car during the weekend. Received a new turbo heat shield a couple of days ago and a new old stock timing belt cover yesterday so will go on and get these parts mounted. Prop-shaft must be painted and exhaust polished too.

The engine bay is nearly complete too. Was lucky to find a unused timing belt cover on eBay, so had to buy it. All decals/stickers has found it's way too. Today i have filled up with engine oil, coolant liquid and power steering oil.

Next task is to fix the breaks, check for leaks etc, adjust coilovers, put on some temporary wheels and roll it outside the garage for the first fire-up

Looks awesome

Is that the normal routing for the accelerator cable on lhd cars?

Not a critisism or trying to pick holes, just curious.

Fantastic job, bet you cant wait for it to be finished!!

Thanks guys

@sapph1: Yes, that's correct. It's usually attached to a clip to be more straight but i'm struggling a bit to get it attached to the bracket at the moment.
