Hello All,

Thought I'd share some pics of my recent purchase - a 1991 J plate Saff 4x4.

I used to own this in 2007 (bought it off a friend) but after 6 months I sold it on as I was driving to Canary Wharf daily. The car found its way back to my friends bro in law in 2008 and when it came back on the market again, I snapped it up without hesitating!!!!

I plan on treating her to some fresh paint over the coming months (spots of laquer peeling - mainly on bonnet and i tiny bit of rust). Also fancy changing to the Ford Soft Spoke alloys.

After that I'll pay some more attention to the interior - namely the headlining and door cards.

Mechanically it believe fine for now - even though i dont need to use it everyday, i still end up using it on everyday situations! - T34, greens, etc etc

let me know what you think

Cheers

 

Very nice, needs a little tidying but it's nice it's a car you know the history of.

 

nice to see bad parts being posted/shown too, most people just show the shiney bits and say its perfect. The bad bits aint that bad anyway
gets my vote gotta love a saff.

 

Its nice mechaniacally as joe built the engine.

Needs a bit of paintwork though, Qadir told me he sold it saturday.

 

yep joe agree joe is a great mechanic - he came highly recommended when i first bought this car and will only go to him!! When ever he used to service it the car would feel 10 times better on the drive home from his!

qadir reckons i should get the bonnet resprayed and just get the rest of the car polished up but I'm thinking just to go all out and get a full respray

 

You need to attack the rust whatever happens.

 

lol, hes not a paintwork man though is he... he prefers to go for a blast. than look pretty.

Anyway yeah id deffo get bonnet and rear bumper as rear bumper would be really cheap. arches are like £250 to get done properly so nothings to expensive its the engine what costs the money so i think you have done the right thing.

Get it into joes though for a service and set up just to be on the safe side...

 

agree to get on top of the rust and get it to joe asap!!!! will get some update goings once the work starts!

 

Loooks nice m8,like the colour coded rocker cover.

 

Very nice mate

 

what did you pay for it if you dont mind me asking

 

dropped this off at the garage for a respray!! miss it already!!!
