The original quote
" show your support here and post pics of your Sapph's everyone who has no intentions of breaking theirs!!! lol "
Seeing as someone has got this thread back up,how many are actually still in one piece ? I am sure some have been broken

Excuse the poor quality pics and the stick on plate.

No pictures of a completed resto but I am of the ilk that all Cosworths should be saved unless they give up their tattered existence to save another one.
My saff was rotten enough that many of you would have broken it and sent the shell to the bin. Considering it is the only road going LHD saff in North America I had to save it.
Maybe living over here I see all these crazy numbers matching Chevy's and classic Fords that come up at Barrett Jackson or in the hot rod shows and figure Cosworths are worth preserving for when they are 50 years old and become very collectible. I dunno...
But yes, save a Saff unless it is too far gone and then it should save another Cossie.

I wish i had saved mine, needed a few k spent on the rot issues but tbh it seems like it would have been worth it now but at the time being my daily driver and rotting away didnt seem like it was doing me much good so it went to the breakers and i bought a golf VR6. The golf never even partly filled the void the saph left so i have this majorly sad thing in my house to remind me of it lol

Heres my saph which i have owned for two years, i bought it without all the running gear and engine, unfortuntly i bought an engine off of here and found out it had a cracked block. I have nearly finished building a new engine and then i can hopefully drive it for the first time in the new year. Bought some 18" team dynamic wheels off a chap on here which are waiting to go on and a few body reapirs and she will be good to go. I cant wait.
