My first RS, saff cozzy
Made my first step into the RS world earlier this month... a good move 
From a history of old skool fords, capri's etc, and a large number of Mk1 XR2's, I've gone upto a 2wd saff cos....
I bought her in this condition;
Very original, standard, and clean. Average number of owners, 95k miles, no real probs, just minor stone chips.
But I had already got me some of these ready to go on....
Titan Chaos wheels in 18 inch - yeah baby
Along with a set of adjustable suspension courtesy of SPAX....
As well as a Scorpion system, with the middle box cut out....
So once the car was in my hands, I put the bits on her and now she looks like this....
She drives very well, has some little tweeks under the bonnet, but surprisingly doesn't rub at all, even with 4 big fookers in her. No rubbage, and she sure does handle well considering the size of the wheels.
The wheels fill the arch really nice, nice offset choice
Looks better in the flesh.
I rate the Spax kit a very large thumbs up
I'm going to enjoy the summer in her, then carry out some engine and interior plans over the shitty months...

Many thanks for all the comments peeps, and thanks for the welcome into RS ownership Been meaning to do it for a while now.
The wheels, I think were ET28 offset. All credit to my mate who showed me them in the flesh, and I just fell in love with them!
As for the project thread... I think I'll start one up later in the year.... as all I have planned up until then is maybe a few more minor engine mods, and a few changes of wheels... I do like black wheels on white cars... so will be chopping and changing between a few sets as time goes by!
