Default My white 4x4 sapphire cosworth re-build

Hello everyone, a bit new to posting on sites like this, but here goes!

About 3 years ago I purchased my first cossie, a black sapphire 4x4 facelift. I bought it cheap because it was a bit rough underneath. I used it and enjoyed it until it ran out out tax and MOT in January 2016. Mechanically the car was spot on, having had the engine re-built by harvey gibbs (if I remember correctly) and all the electrics worked which I understand is unusual lol!

Whilst I had it on the road, I had time to give the car a good assessment, and I decided that it was too far gone to repair - most panels would have needed replacing, so I bought a white 4x4 shell from Gary at rsclassics and a rollover jig from a company online, and so I stripped the shell done completely bare and started again, using the running gear from the black one.

I have documented this project with pictures when I have remembered to take them, so I will post them as soon as I work out how. Do I need to upload them to photobucket, then copy and paste them?

Thanks in advance guys, hope you enjoy the pictures..............
