Default Wanting a white saff

For as long as I remember I've wanted a mint white saff.

Should of bought G88 when I got chance.

Anyhow, my saff is flint grey, mint car with no rust, underside resto'd etc. mint leather, can't think whether to paint it white, or hold out for a mint white saff and swap bits over.

Or am I being stupid.

Lol. I don't think painting mine is the answer. But I'd want to swap over

Diff, beam, box, suspension, brakes, engine, trim, wheels, splitter, management,

Seems a little long winded to swap all that, I won't sell mine as it is to start again got lots of good bits quietly, ap6's, old comps, Quaife diff, braided loom, tube torque exhaust. Fuck it, I'll just keep the grey one and cry everytime I see a mint white one

You would be a tool to paint that Saph white mate...

It's an absolute cracker, not sure I'd change a thing if I'm honest!!

its in safe hands andy

i know the 205 block is a little worrying pete,but it will be detuned to about 360bhp or maybe god forbid standard .i was more interested in keeping the engine numbers matching the shell than the power and mark wouldnt give me the full history with the car unless i took the engine aswell .which was Ł2250 so i was happy enough at that price .

i know i have let cars go in the past ,which i always have regretted


ps andy ,your saff is a top class car mate

best to wait till a mint white one comes up, or just a shell, then make a car up from all the best bits.
did you sell the Focus Andy?

There's only one saff i'd buy to sit alongside the Evo and i've tried with a GREAT offer but no good, he's a hard man to crack....
