Hi Everyone,

I havent been on for a long long long time and seeing as Mike bought me my first saph cos, i thought now would be the time to come back on

Some of you might remember the car. It is Divas old silver 4x4 although it currently has no engine or front wheels. Going to start the build tomorrow so will have more pics for you all then.

Im a lucky girl!

Here is one pic of us picking it up!

 

are you just going to get it running or are you going to do a full resto on it looks tidy from the pic

 

Good base to start from.

 

best of luck with the rebuild ,should be mint when your finished

cheers james

 

hope it won't take you too long to get it all finished.

 

Going to make a start on this tonight got a fresh built motor to go in and a brand new box.
Sending some bits of for powder coating, crossmember ect

 

Silver is the best....!

 

Liking the wheels Rog

 

Top project.

 

nice one mate,good luck with it

 

what are the plans for it?

 

That's one pressie and a half!!!... Look forward to seeing some progress!

 

Was that picture taken at the end of the Rainford Bypass where it joins the M58?

If so you must be quite local

 

Yeah it was mate

 

Keep it standard ish lol got the 500 to build yet

 

Hi Guys,
Sorry ive not been online for a while. We've just moved house so waiting for our internet to be connected. Ive been down the unit and took some more pics for you.

The car is an absolute minter. The only bit of rust is on the back arches but we'll get that sorted. Its really clean underneath. The engine is out of another saph which has only just been rebuilt and only has running in miles on it so should be pretty nippy when done!

Please excuse the poor picture quality! The lighting is not great in the unit at night lol









Here is the engine still in the donor car waiting to come out...



Now out of the other saph and all cleaned up ready to go in to my car....







Full Poly Bush set













Mike and the Diva



Old Rad and Intercooler etc. Got new stuff to replace these.

 

Looks very good in silver I must say!... look forward to some more pics!

 

emma!.. missed ya for all this time since you sold the ep!

Its cal .. dont know if youl remember me, had a silver gt

Went hybrid, then followed your path and went td04, then after 1.4 bar on stock internals and ecu it kept cracking pistons, and was in the process of building a forged 4e, 265 cams, td05 etc but now breaking for spares to fund a 2wd saph

glad youve gone down the YB route

 

yeah i remember you mate. there is only so much that can be done with a little starlet before a bigger car is needed! lol. ive still got my evo too, this saph was bought for me by my lovely other half. i now have the best of both worlds. cant wait to drive the saph though!!

 

lol, wonder what car you will like the drive of best Emma lol.

 

lets just say the cossie will have to be very very good to beat the evo! hehe

Mikes bought some TH2s for his 3-door track car but he's said i can have them on the saph until his track car is finished. Then i will be putting shark tooths on it

 

love ilver saphs, will look mint on stnadard shark tooths, what spec is the motor you just slotted in, what turbo you slapping on it, can't beat a yummy mummy in a hot motor!!!

 

Keep the good work up guys.

 

Not sure on the spec, i'll need to ask Mike. I think its standard but got an escort cossie intercooler to go on it and a few other bits. Going to put a T3 on it. Just been to the unit and the engine is in now so its coming along nicely. Some more pics to follow

 

cant wait to see this outin about COSSIE EMMA HEHEHE

 

With any luck it should be running at the wkend

 

Got too work quick on this Mike, Looking good.

 

See you have got yor self back in a ford mate

 

looking good

 

Yeah, standard, and staying that way this time, use the car for work now so couldnt have it modded lol. Hope your all good dude, not seen you in a while.

 

good progress chaps

 

Well the car is now all back together and looks fab! It currently has a few niggles before it can be put on the road properly though

Heres some up to date pics.

 

Great job guys.

Did you get teh wheels off StuCos?

 

Looks well, have you not got the imolas,, looked well on them

 

Im not sure where the wheels came from Paul. I know Mike got them from someone on here though.

The car was not actually sold with the Imolas, they were just for transporting it so had to give them back lol. Plus i dont like multispoke wheels.

 

not much left to day now, Mike has done very well with it.

 

looks awesome

 

Its got a few running problems at the min that im going to have a look at over the wkend and go from there.

Need to get it the painters to sort the rear arches will look mint 1s thats sorted

 

typical cossie. its not even seen the road and its got running problems hahaha

 

awesome job nice color too
