been a few years since i've looked at a saph.
any pointers would be good
rear chassis rails
front strut tops
sills
obvious signs of accident damage
anything else body wise i need to look for?

Lift the carpet in the front footwells if you can, and check the front jacking points, if they're still there....
Everything else as above really.
Rear bumper looks like it's not sitting right (maybe just me?) it should just be a case of adjusting it though, but i'd check it's nothing else dodgy. Mechanically I wouldn't worry too much, unless it's obviously fooked, but thats just me.

where shall i start!!!!
oil cap not put back on so oil everywhere
tappets needed doing
no water in header tank
PAS fluid looked like strawberry milkshake
New fuel lines front to back hanging down under the car
The inside of each spoke of the front wheels had been ground away to allow wheels to clear callipers
Both front tyres bald on the inner edges
Nearside front suspension turret starting to split
Rear bumper cracked and needed new
Smell of stale water in boot from a leak
Laquar coming off C pillar
Rear inner wings fouling on the wheels
Centre vents replaced with a boost gauge and 2 switches “anti lag and “launch control”
2 wires hanging out the gear lever with a switch, which i assume was for the launch control - no signs of any of the above actually fitted apart from the switches
Grey injectors not fitted, the multi plugs on the loom are grey so i assume thats why he thought they were greys!! They were black topped so i’m assuming they were Siemens 55lbph injectors.
To be fair it was very solid underneath in the usual places, few spots of rust along all 4 doors from under the window scraper mouldings
Defo not the car for zowow!!!

Even if you saw past the bits and pieces it needed, the gut feeling was to walk away.
Shame though, but it was probably for the best
Cheers again though fur for coming with me, much appreciated - I owe you a couple of beers as usual
