Cheers lads, I thought I might share my pride with you and also get a project thread of my Saph up here.

Bought it from a fella near Stuttgart in April 2008.

Here's some pics of when I drove it home:













The spec it already had:

- 803 greens
- Stage 2 Bayjoo chip
- Dump Valve
- Samco Boost hoses
- 2,5" Supersprint GR A exhaust (approved by german TÜV )
- Wolf suspension kit (Bilstein Dampers, E&W springs)
- OMP front strut brace
- PU bushes
- Wolf 17" wheels
- Wolf Dash
- Boost, oil pressure and temperature gauges
- Momo racing steering wheel







Bought the car with a blown gasket, so started ordering parts from UK straight away:











Some parts I got from other sources:







Then work began and first of all everything was taken apart and cleaned:

Before:



After:




After that I brought the car to a mate to get the engine taken apart and give it a full rebuild with all the new parts.















Soon more parts arrived:










Fitted all new sensors, distributor and dizzy cap sourced from Matt Lewis.


The MSD chip also arrived in nearly no time:




During painting of the rocker cover:




New mounting for the amal valve:



Also refitted amber lights:





Slowly everything is coming together:




Rocker cover finished and mounted with cometic gasket and new half moon seals:





Also got the samco vacuum tubing:



Ready to start to a new life:





Did all this within about 2 month and the car fired up really nice first time turning the around the key.



Here's some pics of 2 meets I attended in summer:










After the original turbo damper decided to let go on a full speed run, I had to order this earlier than originally planned:





Did about 4000 km after the rebuild this summer without any major problems, so I'm a bit proud since I did almost everything myself.

Since its now deep winter in bavaria the car is off the road since november and I have time to make some small changes here and there until the new season begins in april again:

New tyres to fit for next summer: Yokohama Parada Spec2 215/40-17



Gearbox and Diff oils will also be changed in winter:



Some more pics of the engine bay:







Until now theres not much happened since its freezing cold in our shed.
Took the wheels off to get them powder coated:









Not a light wheel at all...



Also got this last week:

SpecR breather system



Ford Ranger CD Radio



Still have a long list of small things to do this winter.

...more to come soon...thanks a lot for the attention... 8)
