Some pics of my ongoing conversion.

Looks great!  Where did you get the water outlet on the back of the head?  I'm not too keen on running the stock plastic one on my car.

Cheers,
Rod

That project looks great.  I like the rework of the rear suspension.  Do you have anymore pictures of the inboard mount and what you spindle looks like at the wheel?

I'll agree, your project looks great!
I'm considering attempting the Zetec conversion. Wondering about your FI intake - is a stock unit turned upside down? What transaxle are you using?
Thanks for any information

I think the rear cross beam (and the rest of the suspension) is Richard's twin link kit. It's a great addition!

The thermostat housing is home made, parts made by me and a friend welded it together.
I have also made The modified twinlink myself.
Intake manifold is stock from a escort/fiesta 1.8 .
Gearbox is ng3 from renault espace.

Looking good! I think you'll end up with a nice toy!

Yes, great work. Looks like it will be a fun drive.
Thanks for the info on the intake and transaxle.

That is very tidy, thanks for the extra pics of the twin link suspension.  You are doing a very tidy job!

[skoolsen]

Thanks
The engine is a 1.8 silvertop with blacktop camcover, and comes from a 1998 mondeo, with stock efi.

Car looks fantastic.  Where did you get the axels?  I'm doing a NG3 trans for my 68 S2.
