2wd sapphire cosworth resurection!! 6/9/2009
Well had abit of an off just after new years
resulting in ripping off front bumper,pushed in lower panel crossmember,creased bonnet,destroyed rad and headlights etc.Did consider breaking car from the outset but in the end desided i just couldnt be arse'd so have desided to repair it as damage wasn't really all that bad
Well today at work got the car in the workshop and on the jig ready to start repairs on it tomorrow
have got pretty much all thats needed to get the cossie back on road have a bumper,brand new panel crossmember,front grill,just need grill strip now,also replacing headlights with morettes
heres how she looked today
more to follow

Nice to see that you decided to fix the car. I read about your accident and was absolutely gutted, but I've been there myself actually and is a terrible feeling to see your own car in such condition.
Good luck with the repair mate, looking forward to see some more updates

got in work early and removed the intercooler,hoses and what was left of the rad ready for the work to begin.Got it on the jig and matey at work pulled it
once pulled cut out the old knacked panel crossmember and replaced it with a nice brand new orignal Ford one that i managed at last knockings to get hold of last week.
new one in place
thats as far was we got today.
