Default 4x4 Diamond white saph cossie project....

Hi, After a while of realistic thinking, it's time to sell my saph. It's in my Mums garage, and she's selling the house. I also can't afford to finish it the way i'd like to as i have a bit of debt to pay off. I'd love to keep it but can't!

Right, the car is complete, with everything, and a rolling shell other than engine, front brakes, and rad.

Shell has done 79,000 miles, diamond white, and the underside is stonechipped in black, freshly painted arches, 1992 J plate, with private reg J12 SPR, Toad alarm fitted.

What you get...

Comes with Pro alloy rs500 intercooler, gearbox, mint leather interior, 17x8" TSW hockenheims, brand new gaz coilovers, rouse front splitter, carbon door handles and strut tops, couple of brand new parts used, and various bits of the front end have been zinc plated, front end is fully polybushed.

Just needs someone do finish her off.

Have a mint, standard 4x4 engine available to go in it with low mileage. Just don't have the money or space to put it in.

Pics below of the project, please note the pics are through the project!!























































£2500 ono

Any questions pm me.

Thanks for looking

No rust! Not to my knowledge, but the engine bay, was filled and re-painted as the slam panel has been smoothed by the previous owner.

I need to sit down and have a chat with you and your Dad I think. See what the best option is! I really don't wanna sell but until i clear my debt, which selling the car will clear. It's gonna cripple me until then!

Bit of a waste of a trip then, wish people would just be honest,

But the truth always comes out

Like Geoff says could be a good car if repairs were done to a high standerd.

It's a shame when tyre kickers come along way expecting to buy concours car then try haggle down to £1000! I've stated that the rear has been started in a different colour... NSF strut is fine. Nothing wrong. Rear arches are fine, other than slight surface rust which I'll post pics of. Like said, this car is well known and bought off honest people. The above comments are annoyance because they couldn't haggle me down to £1000 and take it away. Forgetting theres £600 worth of suspension on her etc. Viewings are welcome! Very well priced in my opinion, just needs someone to finish her off and have a nice summer project.

To be fair mike I said its worth abt a grand to me n that wernt an offer!! I said I am leaving it coz of that I asked you on the phone abt rot on arches etc n u said it were right but wernt it's been bogged both sides n it's all still rotting away under there. Ppl on ere know me n know I ain't a messer if I want summat I'll get it n the car wernt as described and I wasted a day a 320mile round trip for your lack of knowledge abt the cars and rot rather than surface rust on the rear arches. Pics are telling lies just like u mike! Post some close up pics of both arches n NSF strut top n we will see!
