Default Project RING Saph.....NOW FOR SALE

Well we've finally got it folks

For peeps who didn't know, Shorty and myself have bought a MINTY MINT 4x4 saph between us. Myself & Diva went to pick it up yesterday & im really excited about cracking on with it now.

The car was bought off a PF member called Tezzer who lives only a few miles away. We say the car went away for a think then called him back and bought it. We couldn't turn it down with the amount of spares that came with the car. The car is basically a ONE owner car with a big history etc. Previous owner Terry had started to clean all the waxoil ou tthe engine bay but sadly a work accident cause him to end the project

We've got 6 weeks to turn the car around & will be kept standard apart from a Stg1 chip and Stainless.

Pics..........




Not the best pic Bootfull of all the parts ready to go back on with a good clean.

Mintest leather for a G plate car

Gearbox is like new


All the goodies that come with the car plus a spare set of wheels.



Bootl now empty and checked for any dreaded surprises. Guess what. ive been waxoiled in there aswell

All back together, hoovered & cleaned.

ANd were the fun begins, my job will be get all the waxoil off and get the engine bay bufty


Put to bed....

Diva's Scort.....Will it ever see the light of day now its got a new cover


Just need to get a few bits..ie headgasket set, belt tensioner etc. Target date is the end of march to get some mileage on it.

Roll On Germany
