The plan is to have engine in position this weekend for preliminary jigging for inlet and exhaust pipes and turbo position...still a lot to do, the fuel system, exhaust, intercooler/radiator, BOV and many miscellaneous bits.

Yep, should be good. It's gonna be hard to hack at the front panel of her with the grinder to fit the 'cooler in.. but i guess it's for the greater good

Do not see any grinder here; huge intercooler will fit in front of radiator support panel and behind nose cone.

wont that interupt the air flow, from the air intake, into the radiator, unless you are cutting holes in the grille section of the nose cone????
I looked at it but decided that it might restrict the air flow to much so i will be fitting a 450x75x300 intercooler partly recessed into the front splash Panel.

Will look into that further. I have holes in the grille already.

Yeah, you RS2000 buggers have way too much space in the front there to play around with !! My flat front is rather space deprived [:I]

If you have a flat front try one of the PWR barrel coolers. They are much easier to fit for the space deprived. That is what I am going to use with my Turbo zetec.

When can we get some pics of your zetec project Felbie

I'll have to get the camera out. It is difficult because the motor is at my engine builder and I always forget to take the camera when I go there. I'll try to remember next time I go.

The car has an engine once again.
This features the old rocker cover, the new one is being made "bling"
