Default Another sapph bites the dust!

Hi all, I bought this car off here as a project car, it was ideal for that as it was very clean straight and had the toys on to get it there with not much doing.
The only bad thing with it was the finish of the Paint so after picking it up in January I had a good tidy up and off to the body shop for a fresh coat of paint.
Got the car back thursday night and spent half of friday giving it a good buffty . first proper night out in it last night had a great night and on the way home was giving it billy big toes up the only part of dual carridgeway on the isle of wight, as i got to the end I started to break but nothing The roundabout came up very quickly, hitting that put me accross the other side of the road into a central parting in the road, that spun me round and I ended up facing the way I had just come on a grass bank, No one else was involved and apart from aching this is what I am left with today

Bad news Trist, but as it's been said before it's only metal and the main thing is that you're ok.......even if the missus will inflict more damage than the accident could have ever done

Gutter for you mate, a real bastid on your first night out in it! Hope you get some decent wonga back to compensate a little!

In fact, let me know how much you would want for engine, ancillaries (sp) including Turbo etc, loom & gearbox! I have a mate who needs pretty much all the above parts for a special project that is underway!

What spec is the engine too matey? Thanks Alot!
