Default My Sapphire after a few winter jobs - pics sorted!

Few pics of my Sapphire after some tweaks over the winter:

First up was a change of wheels.

Also did a little engine bay revamp. Been wanting to change the hoses for a while now as wasn’t keen on the blue, and also sourced a cambelt cover and a couple of other little bits.

Then some interior work. Drivers bolster was worn as usual but not ripped. Found a local leather restorer who tidied up bolster and another couple of bits, delighted with this job!

And finally was desperate to get rid of the chrome sill steps. A local guy had started producing patterns covers from dark vinyl, and although not quite as good as the Ford ones, they are a massive improvement on the horrible chrome ones.

Good old Photobucket... I've been having the same issue on some sites...
Absolute jokers! Trying to get them to fix issues is a nightmare


Looks good

Looking tidy fella, personally loved it on the comps anyway but always nice to have a change.

You going to knockhill this year? I'd like to rock up but it won't be in the saff as I've left her daan sarf at my parents house...

Thats stunning. I like the wheels on it now. Them sill covers are spot on. Ive seen genuine ford ones go for silly money on ebay.

Lee i am surprised you have not asked about those sill covers?.

Car look really nice and black hoses are more pleasing to the eye against the body colour.
