Quick update, I am away now for a month so progress will be halted. I still plan for a Christmas finish (not sure which year though!).
Some progress was made last week.. Engine relocated slightly, needed to move 1" to the NS  Fuel tank and mushrooms - thanks to Kev Front hubs reamed - thanks to Paul Got some new 15" speedline corse alloys with Michelins Eaton M45 received - this will be sold on later (surplus to requirements now I have another plan). Now the fun part.... In the states Zetec performance parts are everywhere. So far I have purchased a rotrex c31-80 charger and kit, powerworks inlet and a Ford Racing Head (these are like rocky horse s**t). Awaiting delivery of an Omex ecu with a bit of luck (only $400). The search continues but I am sure I am over my weight limit now - looks like additional baggage required!

Well little progress due to being away
Brought back 2 cases of car parts and tools - excess baggage of 115 kg and a charge of $125 not to bad. Ps. Tools and parts in the states are dirt cheap - check harbour freight tools or Craigslist Detroit and let me know if you would like anything bringing back as I am back there for the next 18 months (4 weeks on 1 week off). Anyway there has been a change to my plans. No longer going for Supercharged Zetec - after experiencing Kev's beast I decided to go Nissan Turbo route. Mr Kev has kindly offered his experience so that is certainly a deciding factor. Was planning on bolting a charger to it but will I walk before I run so to speak... Arrived back in the UK on Saturday and collected engine/box/ecu yesterday from a nice chap in Preston Also got my wheels in for refurb should have them back later today. Wheels before  Bolt on power  A nice dirty lump. Can't wait to get it cleaned up

Well my plans to spend at least a few on hours on the build on my home week have since been halted.
New bathroom on its way tomorrow so today's task is ripping out the current one!
