Default Sapphire GLX Cosworth

My project is a little different from most, who are doing a restoration on a cosworth. My car started out life as a Sierra Sapphire 1.8 CVH GLX, progressed to a 2.0 GLX with a 8v DOHC fitted, and the plans now are to push forward and get it to my ideal spec - Sapphire GLX Cosworth

Heres how i bought her 4 years ago, at 91,109 miles old she had a CVH, a bottom end rebuild at 50k and all history to proove it. I drover her in this basic specification, Passing my driving test in this car with the CVH, no Power Steering or ABS Brakes.







Then a twincam went in - and came out and we have this

After this another 3 twincams went in until we got to this


These are a lot of the history pictures I have found, I will update as the project moves onwards,
































That brings her to now - the plan is as follows:

Full restoration underneav to the best of my abilities with a wire brush, etch prime and paint

Full respray, and rebuild to cosworth spec.
