    My 850 project

    Well it's time to do a build thread on her. I've owned this for a few years now, In between that I sold it to my mate who basiclly didn't treat her as she should so I managed to get her back. She is a low mileage girl (92k) and I bought her off a gent which had owned her from new. I even have the original bill of sale. I've done a lot to her of late. I've done the pcv ( thanks tomcat), had a full turbo back system with decat from bcs in haydock who I would highly recommend. Done the brakes all round inc.ferodo ds2500 pads. Changed all bushes for powerflex, rebuilt the steering rack (never again!!). I've done the turbo oil seals, changed the springs and fitted new wheels etc. ohh and I mustn't forget the r spoiler I bought off tc
    Tbh a lot but I am a perfectionist lol
    Sorry I don't have many pics at present as I lost them all off my bloody iPhone.






    I no they are a bit dirty the wheels, it was after I had had the tyres fitted


    I will get some more pics up soon

    So many 'new cars' in white nowadays, to see an older car in white is awesome imo.
