I am doing in in the workshop at work. Loads of space and all the tools I need. Makes life much easier except I have to make my own coffee as the GF stays at home.
I started the day like this....
With a Pinto
and then got as far as this...
No engine
So thought I may as well do this...
Zetec In
The ground clearance looks good, with less than an inch below the chassis..
Pink Sump. Don't ask!!!
I need to get stuck into the exhaust, fuel and wiring now while I have some free time.
edited because my pictures didn't work!!!

its a bloody aircaft hanger, what do work as that you have such a big garage
i think he ownes a sva test centre
That garage is a bit tight mate, how do you cope?
Good work fella!
It can be a problem cos with so much space you start to loose bits.
I don't like to be cramped though
I run a Vehicle PDI and Refurbishment Centre so have a bit of a luxury when it comes to working on the car. It's good to show the workforce that
I still know my way around a car!!
do the zetec use the same block and mounts as the pinto, or have you had to manufacture the some of your own mounts? is the engine lighter? what are
the power outputs etc
p.s that workshop is frickin massive!!!

Nice.
Looks like some of the engine bay bits could do with a light sanding and dose of hammerite though
Tango you have caught up and passed me now i managed to get the pinto out before i buggered my knee
The only good news i have re my pinto/zetec swap is that i have now managed to collect all the parts to finish the job,knees on the mend so i'll
be back at it in the new year.
Keep us informed on the zetec work as myself and conrodkid are looking at whats best re plumbing,there seems to be a few variations in this area and
some have a lot less pipework than others for some reason.

back but hopefully i'm on the mend and wont have to go in for another clean out.
