Heatshield will be reuseable, if not i will get one from breakers/ford, its stainless, so no rust either (but thick oil  )
Heres how it went today, will type some stuff for a few of the pics in a bit, especially the rust ones :p
I started a bit late at 3pm, but it wasnt dark untill about 10pm, so had a good 7 hours out there 
Oh and engine is not yet at TDC, I havent touched the camshafts or crankshaft yet
I was reading about the CVH/HCS and took this off by mistake. Proably not a bad idea but I will need a new gasket, thats another £10 gone 
This is one of the sensors on the block. not sure which, but it has a small oil leak. Any idea what one it is, and should I just tighten up or remove and replace any seals?
Also, I noticed the cyl3 exhaust ports look like the are slightly open/stuck open from deposits. Exhaust lobes are facing back of car. Inlet lobes + valves are open.
Inlet is off. That was fun. WHY do ford use those stupid multiplugs with plastic clips on both sides, they are impossible to get off without breaking especialy when plugged into back of inlet manifold. The multiplugs with metal clips are far nicer to use.
The rest are mostly of rust
This is the front drivers side brake pipe. Its usually hidden behind the wheel arch covers. It looks quite bad, should I get it replaced? (I have already had the flexi hoses done a few months ago, and a brake check, surprised no one saw this. I could guess that all 4 metal brake lines will be this bad near the wheels - any idea how much it could cost?
This is the sill. It has been replaced before (no idea when) since the spot wields are not original. the rust is probably my fault for jacking it up in slightly the wrong place. Any ideas how much this could cost? (i think the other side is ok, not much/no rust - still original sills, but i didnt have a look today)
This is the brake caliper. Not sure exactly what is (*was, before the rust) behind the rubber, however the rubber is loose and should probably have failed the 2 month old mot.
