This is a GREAT car build, I must say!!
Conserning the termostat housing, I´ve taken a photo of my two termostathousing taken from mk I and II Fiestas with x-flow engines.
Looks like these housings would fit your Duratec, but the angle seems to be the same as your Duratec housing. The outlet pipe is 30 mm in diameter and there is temperture sending units in these to.Attached Files

Thanks for the comments.
The engine bay does need painting, the paint has had a bad reaction with the seam sealer and is flaking off. You can see this on the close up picture of the catch tank and washer bottle cap.

The Ashley 2 1/2" twin box right hand exhaust system arrived yesterday and it fits first time no modifiations needed.....amazing.

Do you have the part numbers for the mk I and II Fiesta termostat housings ?

I've got some aerosol satin black, I think Glyn and myself should come round one day and sort it out

It is from a 1992 – 1998 1.3 EFI HCS Fiesta and fits a treat.
With hose fitted, still needs shortening but I will do this on the final installation.
Another niggle off of the list.
Thanks to Jorn

Glyn and Rob aka Mogsmex and Mr Hoarder showed me the error of my way’s , and painted the dash satin black for me.
Nice work lads . But no gold Minilites .

Thanks for the comments.
I have been waiting for the cossie T5 gearbox to have its hydraulic clutch conversion completed and I collected it yesterday afternoon.
A few pictures of engine bay with brake, fuel and oil cooler braided hoses refitted.
Engine bay is now ready for engine installation. The engine will mounted on the cross member with gearbox attached and lifted up into position from the under side.
