3 Monts on, and Work on the Sapphire...

Wow! it's been over three months since I last bought a car... I am quite happy with the Scorpio at the moment. I fixed a realy bad idle problem and the car is a lot nicer to drive. I have replaced the dreadful speakers and fixed the Indicators twice now... My list of faults on the car is growing shorter which is nice. It's got over 3K under its' belt ( with me ).

I have now had time to work on my Sapphire project again, modifying the transmission tunnel in order to take the 4x4 Gearbox. It's not prety but it will do the job...

Other than that is been a quiet couple of weeks, I did spin over the 1.8GTI engine that's eventualy destined for my wifes MK1 golf... And have played arround with bits for the 24V engine that's going in the sapphire.

I am hoping to have all the welding on the Sapphire finished by the new year.


I am thinking of taking on my mates stalled MK1 golf project though......... With a 1300GT engine running Bike carbs ;)
