What to do
Ok I have been offered a really nice radiant red saph with cosworth bumpers and full black leathers in fact the only thing it is missing is the cossie lump
Now my dilemna its a diesel
Do I smoke about in it for a while or do I break the 3 door to cossie the saph and sell all the 3 door stuff?
I have pics but no photo bucket so if I can send pics to some 1 can they put them up please
Next would the engine box loom abs etc go straight on/in the saph
Lastly what are the rest of the 3 door bits worth ie shell interior etc

i would finish the 3dr and keep the saph as a diesel and run it on bio fuel as it will literally be cheap as chips
will leave you enough money to get the 3dr done.
ps - pm me how much is the saf as i bought a similar one with a dohc engine in

saph will still be worth more in parts as it will never be the real deal - whereas your 3dr is (i think)
long term 3dr will be a better investment - i would run the saph on bio fuel as it will cost you next to nothing to run and then in a few months time, get the 3dr finished.
