cheers boys! ive primered up quite a few more bits and peices including
sump
rocker cover
dipstick pipe
various mounting plates
cam pulleys
etc etc
just gotta rub them down now and spray them in the colours i want them...sump will be getting some stone chip gaurd sprayed on first before spraying it the final colour just to help against scratches etc etc
Also got a number of other parts come through (HUGE thanx to Alex ZXH!!!
) which were:
various bolts throughout the engine
brand new 1.8 Escort oil pick up pipe
brand new under piston cooling jets and bolts
rocker cover gasket
cam seals
Bottom end gasket set
also got my 13row oil cooler stuff through (thanx to Lee @ Fusion!! )
in the next few days should be picking up some more bits and pieces of Alex
Also ordered something that will give me some SERIOUS advantages over your average ZT's

cheers peeps...unfortunately i wont be seeing it again for another 3 weeks or so as vulcan are going to flow test the head, possibly place the cams in the head and see what needs grinding away (or ill do it lol), lighten and balance the bottom end, sort the breather mods out and place a oil return in the block....then its time for a dummy build to make sure everything is ok and a quick CR check....then fast ford are coming to do a write up on the engine 
waiting for a few bits to arrive now although i believe one item i should be picking up at a thrash in Brunters mid april cant wait

Stonechip guarded the sump
then sprayed in its proper colour that i want it
also sprayed few other bits
rocker cover
the paint is a metallic black so when the bonnet is open im praying the silver shines through LOL
as im sprayed for the first few times with a spray gun im practising on little bits first...so i lacqured the pulley and the sheild
quite pleased with the spraying skills so far! am still messing about with the gun settings trying to get them right for the different applications etc etc....but getting there slowly slowly
