well after spending thousands on my mk5 rs2000 track car and still not being built i lost interest in her and i decided it was time to go which involved me breaking it all back down and selling it off keeping a few trick bits of course for my next project
after looking around i managed to find another crystal blue sapphire cosworth and after checking it out i was happy to take her on.
2 miles later i fill her up with fuel ready for the 130miles back home and gets on the open road and there was a real bad fuel smell............. so i pulls over to have a quick word with my mum following to see fuel fucking everywhere under the car
so she came home on an AA truck (6 weeks ago now) and i thought as its broke i better start taking it apart to clean it up and built it to a better spec (it was standard) my plan was to run about 300bhp and track it but that went out the window in the first week
its already gone ott so here some pics ect
oh yeah it did come with some nasty wheels
nothing a bit of black paint cant sort out and when they have a set of proper wet tyres on i wont care
I striped it out the first day it was here to find the floor and sills ect in near perfect condition and when i dropped the tank out the rear chassis rails ect was mint too
the engine bay was boring as you can see
but its getting very interesting now
i have loads of bits to get but my nice new painted up rocker cover will be on her soon
heres a one of my gauge holders with push button start which got my famous black paint on it
oh i got a incar boot release from an old late spec scrapper sapph so i could lose the boot lock and debadge it but i hit a big problem once the badges came off
some fucking dick painted the boot and masked the badges up
spec so far is
T4 turbo
light blue injectors
grpA head gasket
standard and its original
2wd engine bored to .50 (until it breaks lol)
rs500 air box (thanks rapid cossie)
3ins mongoose exhaust

loads of other bits and pieces to add as and when i can afford it as i`m currently out of work
