hi guys apart from being new to the forum im new to fords as a whole im 21 years old and brought my 1st saph and i cant belive i had jap cars when a cossies were in my face

i was convinced by a friend who has had had cossies since he passed when he was 17 and now his in his 30's him and his brother know everything about them and do all the works by themselves

i wanted to find 1 standard or atleast near enough so i can do own work with pride

i hunted around and found a dimond white 1 with about 4 owners and it is mint on a K plate 1 of the last of the line and with electric sunroof FSH, HPI clear it was perfect!!!

over the past few days i started buying parts from burton power in essex and building my stage 1

i wont brag on so heres som piks of what i been getting upto






some piks under the bonnet and some work being carried out





some bits i brought

 

I hope you are garaging it. If not, chain it to the lamp post and wheel clamp all 4 wheels lol.

 

hi fella well done for getting a cossie. whats the insurance like on it? im 20 and cant wait to have a cossie but i refuse to pay over 2k insurance so im waiting till im 21/22.

 

Looks nice matey please tell me thats not a dump valve in the forge box though :gayflag:
Nice cav turbo in the background too

 

Looks like you have a nice decent cossie being on the right plate and with a F.S.H along with a hpi clear report, do like the alloys hope you look after it.

 

na im defo gan look after gna given it a dervice gan change the fluids over soon

the cav behind is fully built engine all it needs is tuning and should be pushing high power

iv got a garage so its well protected

and as for insurance im on traders in the family so thats sorted

 

Nice saph mate, especially at 21. Loving the cav turbo aswell.
