My 4x4 Saff Build
Hi Everyone,
I havent been on for a long long long time and seeing as Mike bought me my first saph cos, i thought now would be the time to come back on
Some of you might remember the car. It is Divas old silver 4x4 although it currently has no engine or front wheels. Going to start the build tomorrow so will have more pics for you all then.
Im a lucky girl!
Here is one pic of us picking it up!

Hi Guys,
Sorry ive not been online for a while. We've just moved house so waiting for our internet to be connected. Ive been down the unit and took some more pics for you.
The car is an absolute minter. The only bit of rust is on the back arches but we'll get that sorted. Its really clean underneath. The engine is out of another saph which has only just been rebuilt and only has running in miles on it so should be pretty nippy when done!
Please excuse the poor picture quality! The lighting is not great in the unit at night lol
Here is the engine still in the donor car waiting to come out...
Now out of the other saph and all cleaned up ready to go in to my car....
Full Poly Bush set
Mike and the Diva
Old Rad and Intercooler etc. Got new stuff to replace these.

emma!.. missed ya for all this time since you sold the ep!
Its cal .. dont know if youl remember me, had a silver gt
Went hybrid, then followed your path and went td04, then after 1.4 bar on stock internals and ecu it kept cracking pistons, and was in the process of building a forged 4e, 265 cams, td05 etc but now breaking for spares to fund a 2wd saph
glad youve gone down the YB route

lets just say the cossie will have to be very very good to beat the evo! hehe 
Mikes bought some TH2s for his 3-door track car but he's said i can have them on the saph until his track car is finished. Then i will be putting shark tooths on it

Not sure on the spec, i'll need to ask Mike. I think its standard but got an escort cossie intercooler to go on it and a few other bits. Going to put a T3 on it. Just been to the unit and the engine is in now so its coming along nicely. Some more pics to follow

Heres some up to date pics.

Im not sure where the wheels came from Paul. I know Mike got them from someone on here though.
The car was not actually sold with the Imolas, they were just for transporting it so had to give them back lol. Plus i dont like multispoke wheels.
