Default 2wd saph cosworth resurection

Last summer i broke my saph cossie as i wanted a change and abit more of an everyday car,really fancied an m3 so i got myself an e36 3.2 evo.Sold everything off my cossie and just had a rolling shell left so i tucked it away in storage.



January 2012 and i had to move it out of storage and into a lock up im renting so i will have more better access to my car now.


Just before xmas i picked up a written off 2wd saph standard with complete running gear etc




Will be pulling everything i need off this one to rebuild my moonstone one now,got no time scale as to when she be back on road depends on money,time and what sort of spec i wanna go with it.

Going standard ambers and standard rear lights on this rebuild as had the comon smoked later type look before.I quickly fitted up the rear lights just to see how it would look will give them a good clean before final fit up.also bolted up the n/s/r bumper as was hanging down.
