You turn your original Cossie Saff into a 1.6 L logbook wannabee.
Just reshell into a solid Saff Cossie shell, available all the time, there's so many get broken these days. £300 for a non rolling shell seems to be the going rate, more if rolling and bits left on. Plus you can get one with full service history, low owners, HPI clear, good alarm still fitted with paperwork - things could work out very well if you bide your time!
Had 3 sapphs now, lovely looking but i've laways wanted a 3dr, i just will never be able to afford one, picked up a shell today that had been used to re-shell a 3dr cossie and is on a Q plate registered as a cosworth, ok insurance may go up a little, but all the mechanicals are already fitted even the gearbox is still there, its got an RS500 tail with lower fin and all original kit etc etc, drop my engine in and am laughing, cost me £1k, i cant really grumble at that!
