Default My 3 door cossie scs engine fitted now sold

I got rid of my 2wd saphire cossie got fed up trying to get it set up & boost properly chasing bhp is a thing i will never do again stage 3 will do from now on
This car was out the back of andy gallachers had been sitting for a few month in all that crap weather! i bought it & got it home last night.











...
...
...
Things to do i have removed all the hoses ect to tidy the car up clean the engine bay.
I am going to change all engine sensors & fit a ryan loom (car looms) as there was a fair bit of black smoke & small missfire,Engine loom is tatty with speaker wire on the charge air temp sensor joining it.
Fit blue boost hoses as its got they welded alloy pipes im not that kean on them so they have to go.
Give it a full service get rid of the pillar pod inside the car put it back to standard.
Get the car mot'd & taxed.
On the up side it drives great , brakes are good & looks good,Just needing a bit of tlc.

& yes i will never learn here we go again for me
