Superchipped ECU
Cosworth Kit
RS Sideskirts
Cosworth rear beam and LSD
Collins Mounts
Cloth Recaro's

Some of you may have noticed my car for sale a few months ago, blew the gearbox and struggled to find one for a while, so was going to sell it.

Had a few timewasters and eventually decided to keep it after sourcing a gearbox. After all the hassle my mate has managed to get hold of a guy who has quite a few XR4 boxes so won't struggle to get one if I blow another one

Just now it's getting the gearbox, clutch, brakes all round, tyres/new wheels, wax oiled, MOT and tax. Also have a front bumper that needs painted to put on as my bumper is broken.

Here's some pictures of it when it was on the road, will upload more pictures when its all done. Very clean car especially underneath, has never been welded and there is no rot which I suppose is good for a 17/18 year old Saph!!

Seen it for sale on pistonheads mate was gonna buy it too piss off my mate who has a similair project on the go! looks nice btw! you got an erst? i spy it in the garage lol

 

Cheers. Well I'm glad you never bought it because I would have regretted it! What's your mate doing?

That's my mate's brother in law's RST, it hardly ever leaves that garage, minter!

 

My mates got a thread on here with details! its got the boa engine and hes slapping on a turbo! hes painted the car mallard green! check it out

 

Get the decent underside pics up for all the folk who said it was a rotter

 

They will be up next week hopefully!!

 

Cool.

 

who said it was a rotter? i really like the look of it, how low is it?

 

When it was for sale someone mentioned it here and someone else thought it was a bad one. I assume there is another similar looking car.

Cant wait to see it back on the go

 

i smell bullshit ryan, nice saff mate, glad you kept it

 

chaffe your targeted for termination! keep your eyes peeled for a hook too the goolies!

 

where aboots in aberdeenshire are ya mate? i work in porty

 

Peterhead.

The gearbox and clutch is in, bottom arm too. Waiting on brakes, and needs 4 tyres too.

My mate Pre- Mot'd it and all was needed was tyres, brakes and a bottom arm. Number plates if you count them too but I have new set anyway.

The car sat for a few months through some bad weather and amazingly still has no rust at all, and also I expected a bit more needed for the MOT. Must be a really good shell so all in all im pleased and just anxious to get her back on the road. November 12th is the target!

 

Not even bothered checking how low it is, all I can say is, on it's arse!

You would get a slight scuff if there's 5 people in the car, but I don't tend to take that many in the car!

 

jeezo, peterheed is far from me! im in montrose mate

 

Far? That's only an hours drive!

 

in a harrier maybe! takes an hour to get from mine to the other side of aberdeen lol!

 

Must be a sunday driver

Like what your doing with your v6 mate

 

im sensible mate! cheers i like what im doing with it too, sometimes!

 

Small update :

All the work needed has been done and was MOT'd on Saturday, failed on fuel tank leaking out the seams. Picked up a brand new one on Saturday for Ł47, will be re-tested this week at some point.

I now have 16" OZ Escort Cosworth Monte Carlo's on

Will get pictures up at the weekend

 

Very nice m8

Will look good with them rims on it

 

It's made it look completely different, I am toying with the idea of doing them in white but the silver just looks the business!!

 

Stick with silver mate, mines got white wheels and they are a pain to keep clean. Silver or anthracite

 

Yeah them superturismo's put me off white wheels for a while, and seeing as we are expecting snow this week I doubt I will paint them anytime soon!

 

Looks well lad, not too fond of the wheels. Lovley colour, looks to be the same drop as my own about 60mm.

It pass at that height lad?

 

The wheels have been changed mate.

The height wasn't an issue in the test

 

Just noticed that, should look well now them Did she scobe the splash guard on full lock? Mine does with 17's so i reckon ill have to raise her up for mot

 

Not with the 16's on. They are spot on, thankfully.

I'm sure you could find some leniant tester?

 

pics with the new wheels..?

 

If you read the thread I said the weekend

 

howcome thas that low dude?

 

Here's some pictures to get the idea, will have better ones at the weekend after the re-mot and I will have a nice 4" rolled tip on too hopefully

 

looks well that mate, i like the writing on the number plate too

 

Very nice car, i love the white rims on it.
Good luck with it

 

White wheels have been taken off, pain in the arse to keep clean and the Monte's look better.

Thanks

 

love the new wheels mate

look fantasic

 

Love them!!

 

tempts me to get some for my own lol

 

Oh yes, I didn't read the whole text at all.
I know, I have the Pro Race 1.2 in white, its the same shit. But Montes are great too, in white it would look fantastic

 

Good idea mate!

They may well end up white, but not until the summer and the snow is gone!! Bad enough cleaning silver wheels in this weather!
