Default Sleeper Saph?

I remember reading in one of the mags last year (I think) in either classic ford or fast ford and there was a very low spec saph in there with a cossie lump in and what not....Think it started out as a 1.8L and is now pushing nearly 350bhp? lol anyone got any pics?

There was a saff cossie in re same issue my old fiesta was in (street sleepers issue) back in 2010 where the owner had removed the bumpera and put standard ones on and steel wheels, was so he could use it as a normal car and not worrie about it being stolen
