Absolutely stunning looking car. Really is looking the part almost all fitted back together. Having seen all the progress from when you first brought the car, Look forward to seeing it all finished out on the road.

Im in the market for a new car. I have 3 in mind but dont know which to choose! *2018 wrx sti *Focus Rs mk3 *VW Golf R mk7.5 Peoples thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Note: car will be used mainly weekends.
@cornishcarcollectors2 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment and enjoy car shopping, you've a nice list there! I own a Mk3 Focus RS so will bring bias to the conversation, so will refrain from answering (buy a Focus RS!). The Focus RS is likely to be Ford's final RS product so it is the end of an era, meaning if you do not own one now as a daily then you'll unlikely ever have one. Golf R is a great car albeit a little boring (sorry everyone), and as for the Subaru... very cool, but of course I'd still take the Focus! Good luck and thanks for watching the video on the Sierra.

Well done, the wheels completely changed the rebuild status aesthetically. Paint looks slightly flat though, does it need to go back for a polish?

Thanks for the comment and for sharing your thoughts on the wheels. As you probably already know, the Lattice wheels are the correct wheels for an early '91 built Sapphire Cosworth 4x4 (pre-91 facelift car)... so my car should have the Lattice wheels and in the spirit of keeping it as OEM a look as possible, I have stuck with the Lattice wheels albeit I do agree the 'sharktooth' wheels look good.
