Got some more done tonight -
Rear diff buttoned up and all the rear flexy brake liners have been replaced.
Front diff fitted, engine subframe/engine etc all bolted back in properly (You need to drop pretty much everything to get the front diff out )
It's getting there. However as usual it's one step forwards -two steps back! I now need new front wheel bearings after @Mark King got hammer happy trying to remove the old ABS sensors lol. I'll forgive him though as he fitted the entire front end whilst I pissed around with two brake pipes

Ford's only really started bringing in 5 stud around 2000 (bar the later Granada/Scorpios) - Even then it was only bigger cars like the Mondeo.

Finally drummed up some enthusiasm to go and work on the car.
Plumbed the new Pro Alloy turbo cooler in. Not exactly straight forward as it's designed to work with a Pro Alloy intercooler. My Genuine RS 500 coolers pipes come out at a slight angle (the Pro Alloy intercoolers pipes come out straight) so it made for little clearance between the boost pipes and the turbo rads -6 fittings. It also meant I had to take a bit of a roundabout route with the turbo side -6 water hose lol
I then reconnected everything else that had been taken off whilst working around the engine and fitted new ABS sensors.
Finished!
All that's left to do is fit the fuel lines and give the car a change of fluids.
Then hopefully it starts lol
