Made a bit more progress today

I bought some XXr 968 wheels, and after putting them on and off twice I had problems with the hub bore being so big and the lug nut hole being so small that I almost stripped a couple of studs, so I ordered hubcentric rings, now since I don't want them to come off I made them oblong and pounded them on the hub, this is to help prevent them from coming off every time I switch wheels:





I then continued taking apart the motor, removed the intake for the turbo and removed the sandwitch plate, off of the motor with the coolant cross over pipe (from back of waterpump to oil cooler):







Then I removed the oil cooler assembly and took it apart, now you can use a ford part to get rid of the assembly to use an oil cooler (which is what Im doing), the part screws on the block so you can use any sandwich adapter, I took it apart cut the bolt to set the length and re-welded







Then I had another couple of bungs to plug up, one goes from the stock oil cooler to the block, the other goes behind the water pump, so I cut the pipe clamped it shut and welded both:
