update on my crystal blue saph *a few pro photos*

Had this around 8 months now, the car has 3 owners from new, first of which was a ford sales rep, full history to present day. The car has recently had a full respray (before i bought it) but was otherwise totally original when i collected it. Since buying it the first things i had done were a grp A head gasket (goes without saying this is the first precaution on a cossie!!!) and a timing belt along with oil and filter. Thanks to McNeil motorsport for carrying out the work. Next on the agenda was to sort the cooling system, the rad was leaking, thermostat knackered and heater matrix full of gunk! (my fiance refused to get into the car until i sorted some heat inside it!). So one recored rad and a new thermostat later the cooling system is working again. Decided as a precaution to change the fuel pump,didn't want to rely on a 19 year old pump! After changing pump and filter i had the car dyno'ed. 223 bhp and 198lb/ft, not bad figures, down on torgue but up on horsepower. Next job was to sort the knackered shocks, a set of koni adjsuatbles and some poly top later and its starting to come together, ahmed springs are on the list! That brings us up to the current day, waiting on a full samco hose set arriving along with a blueflame exhaust!
