Smokestone Sapphire Cosworth 4x4 (Just Rebuilt) **3995**
Here we have My Saff for sale due to the aquisition of an escos.
Its just been rebuilt/freshened up
I have lots of receipts from parts used on the build but no build receipt as it was done by me and a friend, This engine has no pistonslap and is whisper quiet. Ive done 150 miles since the build and have just given it its second oil change.
It has not been above 3000 revs yet so is still being run in!
The engine was rebuilt due to blue smoke on boost, One cylinder was found to be worn excessively so the 200 block was bored to 0.5 oversize on all cylinders, New pistons were sourced with new rings the engine was stripped and the crank was found to be unground and just in need of a polish so the engine was rebuilt with all new bits. The head had to have 8 new valve guides and the valves were recut.
Engine Spec.
Multilayer metal Head Gasket.
New gaskets throughout
8 New Valveguides and valves recut for optimum compression.
Acl Race bearings throughout sourced from matt lewis
Unground crank which engineer found to be in perfect condition.
Genuine Mahle Pistons 0.5 Oversize
Recently Rebuilt T34 Turbo
Dark Green Injectors + 3 Bar Map Sensor
RS500 Cooler
Samco Blue Hoses
Chrome Heatsheild and Rocker Cover
Uprated Braided Fan Circuit and Fan Switch
Full Stainless Exhaust
It has full KONI kit unfitted
6paddle AP clutch.
The bodywork is not perfect and on the whole the car could do with a bit of TLC, The underneath is solid though.
The main problems are.
Rear bumper needs alighning and black strip replaced.
3 bubbles on roof around sunroof (have not broken paint)
Couple of little bubbles under paint on each rear arch (better than 95% ive seen)
Bonnet has been painted in the past and in some lights is noticable
few pinhole dents around car.
Jacking points a bit crushed. (like most Saffs)
Dont let this put you off as its one of the best colours and the paintwork is really shiny (im just being brutally honest)
Now the interior is leather with a little wear to the drivers bolster and the passenger door card is starting to shrink.
The car now has 12 months MOT Advisory on front disks and pads though.
Price DROP £3995 OVNO
Thanks Guys

Team HOTHOT!
Can't believe this hasn't sold yet - Smokestone is the BEST colour for an old taxi 
As I said in another thread, if I hadn't of got hold of this white one a few weeks since I would of bought yours as I loved my old Smokestone taxi

unfortunately not as its uninsured and locked away with no Tax.
Would probably be a good way to sell but i honestly didnt think id have any trouble as it was just what i was looking for when i bought it.
Other than the engine was fooked when i bought it and now its not lol.
