Default Some pics of my new ST with the Sapph

Decided I need a break from Cossies for a little while so am going to strip the Sapph soon, scrap the shell , sell the bit I don't want or need anymore and store the running gear fo a while until the right car comes along to transplant it all into

So, in the meantime I bought this 08 plate ST3 on friday off a friend, it has had the Mountune 260 conversion done, sports cat, Miltek exhaust, mountune inlet, Bilstein dampers and Eibach springs etc.

Really happy with it, ok it's not fast compared to the cossie but I'm not bothered tbh, just going to enjoy relatively mither free driving for a bit lol.

I got the Sapph out of the garage earlier to see if the Focus will fit in the garage (it does lol) so thought I'd take some pics of them together before I start stripping the Sapph.

















Not so good from this angle though



And some of the Focus on it's own..

Both look great, From that angle the saph still looks mint!

Saph's are bloody great. I know I must be mad but I would rather have a saph like yours than an Escos, for some reason I just love the shape of them.

Probably a little to do with the 1st cossie I ever went in was a saph.

Never forget that day. I was so excited

I don't think it's daft mate, I actually agree, always find it a bit odd that mint ones don't hold more value.

The difference between the whites are massive but you never really see it until you put two together

I'm still gutted for you about the saph Karl.

Happy you came to an arrangement though!

Have you decided what you're going to look for yet? Another saph or 3 door?

Focus looks good mate! Exactly what I'd want if I was buying one!

I love them both, i just wish the Sapph was still alive

Now I never thought I would be a fan of the ST but I have to admit that I love it! I'm so glad we have it

Roll on the 3dr shell for your running gear though Karl lol

Thanks mate, really good tbh, have you tried any sort of leather treatment to see if it will make it supple and maybe fix it?
