Newbie here

Hey fellas,been on the site for a while lurking and reading up on your posts. Own a South African built Sapphire Cosworth ( one of 12 built ) and a MK2 1600 Sport.
Here's the Cossie...

And the Escort ( sold the wheels and busy with her so she doesn't look like this anymore)

Was wondering if anybody can help.i'm in the process of building a Cossie n/a for the MK 2, looking for a good condition T5 gearbox,complete ( clutch fork,gearlever,clutch and pressure plate & release bearing )Your help would be appreciated...

Thanxs
Dion

welcome to PF, sadly I don't think your thread will get as many replies as the other newbie thread

Have a look in the parts for sale forum for the 'box

Yeah your Ford range would have been different. There was never, for instance, a 3.0 Sierra or Sapphire in the UK.

Both cars are looking nice,

And regards the other topic, if you was to post pictures of Said GF''if you have one'' then that would improve the topic alot more. Of course if thats what you want.

Otherwise welcome to PF.
