I want a saph 2wd Saph cossie
Went out in (Bad boy rs) 2wd saph today. I wanted to stay away from them but Ive been pulled back to them again. Lol
Just feels right when they run well.
Anything in particular I should be looking out for when buying.
I know the obvious Like rust etc anything else
Thanks for the advice.

or mine.... 
Well bodywork wise i'd check 4 things on the shell that matter, obvioulsy there's cosmetic stuff like doors and arches BUT the important ones are
1) Rear chassis rails
2) Drivers/Pass. side footwells/jacking points
3)Strut tops inside engine bay
4)Spare wheel well in boot
Never seen them rust anywhere else badly other than these places, they are the ones that tend to go first.
Mechanically, obviously check that the box is ok but it's not exactly a massive expense to get a replacement, I'd be more worried about the engine. If i was buying another cossie i defo would want one that already had an engine build in the past so it should in theory take some abuse before it breaks again...
Personal preference ofcourse, you may want to spend thousands on a rebuild, i don't know what your budget is. Just beware of buying an expensive car, you still have to know what to look for as there is plenty of overpriced shit out there and not many good cars.
