I've been narrowing down a list of cars that I can afford and can insure now but are very good bases, one of them being a ford sierra sapphire. The plan being as insurance/financial situation permits I can evolve the car.

Before I hunt down a nice solid saph shell, am I right in thinking a stock Sierra Sapphire is the same base as the Sierra Sapphire Cosworth? I could just bolt on Cosworth dampers, springs, roll bars pretty much straight on?

How much do medium millage YB's go for? I've been thinking of taking a zetec up to 200bhp but even with my ghetto tuning after somebody's flowed the head I'm still looking at about £1500 minimum for everything.

Cheaper just to buy a complete saph cossie, and it will be worth more in the long run too.

I understand, and I imagine the re-sale value of the car would be nothing, but I'm 18 and the cheapest quote I can get is £4349.

I just want a car that I can buy make mint, enjoy maintain it/driving it and then when I am able to, get more performance from it.

TBH the YB is purely hypothetical, but I am just curious really. I'm not buying another car that I hate and is literally going to be used until It dies. Like the mk 5 escort and the 1.2 clio I've had. I felt depressed driving those things.
