Hi guys, im not sure if this is ok but thought i'd put up some Saff pics heres a very brief history of my Cossie

First there was this



Then this



Followed sometime later by some of this



Unimpressed by it all, some of this took place



Followed by 4 of these



Chuffed with the outside I did some of this, inside



And finally

 

looking good pal what happened to your front end in the crash??

 

Oh mate, some 17 y/o lad pulled out from the left (obscured in the pic) and in order that I didnt hit him side on and probably kill him in the process I hit the brakes and avoided him, only to get taken out by the oncoming Honda Civic. The police prosecuted the lad and his ins paid out........ luckily!

 

well not to bad then its just a with how long it normally takes lol looking very nice pal

Thanks for that mate , well it happened on the 29 of Nov last year and I got her back March this year..... 6 long months mate im tellin ya

 

put it back to how it looked like in the first pic

 

nice sapp mate

 

Can't agree with that at all, seems a bit of a rude comment to a new member tbh. The only major differences are morrettes and rims.

I think the car looks spot on mate, glad it was only the car damaged in the accident and not you or your wallet

 

Cheers mate, ive got all the original bits to go back on if needed but enjoying the mods at the moment

 

looking good mate crash looked nasty ive just bought some ambers for my saff and trying to find a set of sharktooths seeing yours defo makes me think i macking the right choice!

 

Sharksteeth are the best of the standard wheels IMO but I keep them in the loft and just chop and change when the mood takes me.

 

lok well mate.

 

Very nice mate

 

Nice mate , been through a few changes and battles together !!

 

Nice car fella nice to see it repaired following that fender bender, loving the front splitter not a fan of morettes on saphs I much prefer standard lamps, just my opinion of course


Luciano

 

Looks nice, a bit low for my liking, and the road humps where I live, what happened to the mint looking lattice wheels as I know someone who may be interested.
Respect to you for keeping it alive and not breaking it.
tabetha

 

Thanks for the compliments Yeah I know what you mean, I always dreamt of a Saff with quads just like the rallye cars and now I have them....... well sometimes I like them and some days I dont but I def wont be colour coding them!

The splitter is an X sports Rouse rep and although ive seen a few on the site theres noone else around Torbay with one...... yet

 

There was never any question, if she could be saved she was gonna be Wheels are in the loft mate but cant sell them just incase
The height, well it was like it when I got it but its Koni's all round so ive just left it at that.

 

looks good mate.. wheels look familiar too..

The splitter is an X sports Rouse rep and although ive seen a few on the site theres noone else around Torbay with one...... yet

their is one with a 500 splitter though in torbay...

 

Yup keep the old original partds to hand and just play - its your car mate and that's what it is all about... loverly toy you have there pal.

 

Indeed, I seem to recall there being 2 with RS500 splitters if my memory serves me correctly but I dont think one of them is ever gonna see the road again

 

Cheers buddy.

 

Nice saff you've there mate

 

Thanks buddy, I appreciate that

 

Finally guys ive after 7 sets of different wheels ive finally got EXACTLY what ive been after for years and years My Ultralites are for sale on Ebay if anyones interested





Before the cleaning began!

 

I now need a tissue.... Beautiful wheels...

 

Love the OZ`S ,are they 17 x 8 ??

 

They are 16x8 but Escort Cosworth offset so they are gonna look gorgeous I reckon and as the weather forcast for Sunday is sunny and the Yokohama's are in tommorow I cant wait, more pics to follow after the weekend!!!

 

Lovely car but I really don't think the Lights look right looked absolutely stunning on std lights !

 

Fuck me, ive umm'd and ahhh'd about these lights since the day I put them in, I have always wanted a Saff with quads and OZ's, I really dont like painted Morrettes they look a bit Saxo with a body kit look and the rallye Saffs werent painted so ive left mine black and im gonna wait to see what it looks like with new wheels but im with you............... never really settled on if im gonna keep them.

 

I think what puts me off is that you have ambers it would look awesome if you had clears and dark rears, as it would go with the look of the car !

I could always take them ambers of your hands

 

looking good, still miss it!

 

Stunning car,and well done for repairing it rather than breaking. Was on holidays in paignton a few months back and there was a moonstone 2wd saff totally original driving around with an old guy behind the wheel!

 

Ah yes I know the one, its actually stage 3 and dont be fooled by the old man behind the wheel....... he races on im tellin ya

 

Oh yes.......... its nearly done now guys

 

you than you realise

Its in the best of hands Nath, anyone who knows me will tell you I do nothing by half, I live off Ex Hill so it sleeps closer to you than you may realise

Jase

 

that is stunning mate,love it

 

Thats cool! took a picture of it.Had a standard exhaust and rubber bump strips on the bumper.

 

Yep thats the one, lives in the Goodrington area off Dartmouth Rd and its been around for years, I think he bought it from new. He also has a new M3 V8 but the Cossie gets pride of place in the garage and the M3 is stuck out in the rain.
