you deserve to own a car as such, especially giving it treatment like this

standard look with orange lenses, its the 'in style' retro look

love it

grchmason · 18-12-2006, 11:00 PM

Come on James we need a update

Mind you it is cold out lol

James_RScos · 21-12-2006, 06:47 PM

Been busy with the run up to xmas,

Update in got me ABS rings i hope and any over bits i need mate is stripping a 2.0L ghia 2wd so should have the ABS rings and Sensors.

Been to get a price on having my Second set of Lattice alloys blasted and powder coated £40 each so £200 for 5 happy with that.

Going to pop up the barn next week and try and do some work on the car but its just so cold.

mirkules · 07-01-2007, 08:56 PM

That's a dream car You have there. Thumbs up for attention to detail. It's good to know that You don't want to ruin the beauty of this Sapphire 2WD with clear indicators, quad Morettes, smoked rear lamps, Escos rims etc. There are so many of them around "upgraded" this way. I like the original & mint appearance of Your moonstone beauty very much. That's the way I would like to see my own Sapphire Cosworth some day (I'm driving Sierra DOHC now).

Zetec_mk4_XR3i · 17-01-2007, 09:54 PM

That looks so fresh and smart - look forward to seeing finished article mate - one of my fav cars of all time

Rob_ECossie · 19-01-2007, 10:39 PM

That is stunning mate, its nice to see someone putting it back to how it was when it left the factory, too many have been bastardised!!!

Although I am going to own a bastardised one by the end of this year!!!! Its really nice to see an original one.

I'd love one like that, but I need a tidyish but not perfect one due to the mileage that I do!

Keep up the good work mate!

kennyken · 20-01-2007, 09:15 AM

Really nice motor. Keep up the good work!
