This car has been sitting for quite a few years and have decided to finish it off. i bought the car as a unfinished project as i like to finish them myself. I have just finished a full resto on a magenta sapphire running the same spec as this one I’m doing. I am looking for some bits to finish this build but i am finding the parts slowly. I have had to by loads of bits as parcels so i have loads of spares which include new ford parts like header tank washer bottle rear screen,set of bbs alloys,rear lights new and old,a spare 500 bloke and head etc. When the build is finished i might sell some bits of.
