Looks good till you get to the front end,wonder what the interior is like as the seats don't fold forward in a saph and it also has a saph rear seat in which won't fit very well.

Hurts my brain, think I'd want to convert the front to the traditional 3 door/mk1 Sierra for a start - probably not for me..

I actually quite like it. I guess you in the uk are not used to 3dr mk2 Sierras, but they were/are quite common on the mainland of europe. A shame they never made a Nice version of it. The best was the XR4i with the 2.0i dohc engine.

I was tempted to buy one of these 3 doors a few years back from Italy or France as you could get a nice rust free late model shell to do the Cossie conversion - I actually think it looks nice with the later front end.

Not £9k nice obviously but still an interesting car and if done properly should be good fun to drive.

Would look good without the Cosworth spoiler, ride height change and a better set of wheels...


Years back I did a similar conversion, but it looked wrong with the big spoiler so I took it off and it looked OK IMHO
