Default Gloss Black Saph 4x4

Hiya chaps

Yep you've guessed it another purchase! when will I learn!

98k on the clock, Stage 3, leather, usual gauges etc

Needs a good polish and a few bits changing under the bonnet to freshen it up again! gearknob and steering wheel first things to go!

Ok chaps the moment has come, I've finally managed to pull my finger out and get the pics sorted!

Here's the beast!





New interior on it's way!

New Ford Racing gauges on order!

Dirty engine bay shot!

Right, the saph came outta hibernation this week, OMG what a death trap where do I start?!?!

The brake servo doesn't work....
Indicators work when they feel like it
Gearbox is a nightmare to operate (linkage?)
Alternator only charging 11 Volts
serious wheel wobble
slipping clutch in 3rd
idles at 2k

I think theres more but that will do

1 more test drive (death drive) tmw and it's getting ripped apart for a full resto! first off engine bay getting redone then i'll move onto the interior then the outside last, pics will follow tmw!
