Hi
Bought this sapphire off here which is in really good nick and just want to add some stuff and make it better. been raining and havent had much time on it but done a few things. Hope you like
Managed to get one rl7 on and rear strut brace and strated to put some of the polished alloy bits on, Got a spec r breather to go on bailey damper Bought and fitted missing jacking point covers swirl pot. Just ordered some black samco and a rouse front splitter. Will need a new cam cover but not sure what colour to go yet.

Had to sort out some water leaks boot full of water and a hose split that goes onto the water pump. It keeps blowing the ciggy lighter fuse i think this has a tee off to the fan switch so dont know if its drawing too much or something. Other than that its sweet. Got a ford petrol cap with key if i cant work out what you said will give you a shout mate
