thomasw Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Awww come on - and you drove all this way.... Hehehe. Daz will probably claim the same reason as myself. Long way to go, 2 kids and one wife to keep amused, a lot of things to get through once there and the , "you want to meet a complete stranger because he has the same car as us?"

DAZ-13B Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Well I finally have some good news gents, my Saff is now running ! Got her sent over to my panel shop on Tuesday and naturally I excitedly drove over there after work to check out the head install,wow It was just like Christmas day.... when you were twelve !! I removed the battery from the 850R that I had bought recently and currently being stored at my smash repairers......yes I couldn't let that one go to the wreckers too...another story shall we say.I installed the battery, checked the engine oil, topped up the coolant reservoir ,checked for any possible snags with unplugged harnesses and belts then jumped in and fired her up....amazing it starts so easy!With no front fenders fitted, no hood ,bumper and no brakes except for the E brake I eased her back into the workshop from the carpark, this is officially my first drive of the Saff I switched her off and started refitting what was ready to go back on, this included the radiator support panel, freshly painted front fenders and the bonnet...she looks beautiful Sorry no pics right now however I'm heading over there tomorrow to fit the sensor in the brake master, bleed the brakes,fit the rear wing and fit a new distributor cap.Stay tuned for some happy snaps Regards Daz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAZ-13B Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 *Update* New tyres fitted today Also fitted my new outer bumper slides to the bumper as the xc70's I got with the scrap xc70 bumpers are different.And I drove her 7 kilometers using my employers trade licence plate to the service station (gas station).Now a keen eye would have told me I had the front bumper slides on wrong... thanks guys Here is a pic from a few nights ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
