Sierra 1.8 LX track toy
Well, thought it about time i post up my project car 
may not be a cossie but she wears the blue badge just as proud
It started out as a Sierra 1.8 CVH LX, poverty spec, and the specification has grown ever since
unfortunately, im a better mechanic than photographer, so excuse the blurred pictures
Pics of Exactly how she looked when i first got her
Exterior - notice the tow bar!
Nice interior
Only other pictures of it as i got it
with the top spec cloth doorcards, soon found there way to the tip
Well, soon after that I got stripping out bits and was left with this
so then the rebuild began, no pictures of the original CVH engine, but thats was nothing special, and she has had her breaks uprated to 260's and rear discs (with a LSD of course )
New Engine in and running (with a can of petrol underneath as a fuel tank )
and now for the stripdown as plans do change bringing us more uptodate with this project
and a pic to prove she is tidy inside, just waiting the sound deadening to come up (tips please guys)
and what old ford would be missing some of this any tips on how to fix would be greatly received, i cant weld

Well,
A Small Update, Now have the front lowered 25mm on uprated shockers with nylon TCA outers and Poly inners and poly strut tops
have given the engine bay a wash out
No where near spotless, but no forest behind where the fuse box was, so im happy
Also have started putting the thing back together, and stripping out the sound deadening - what a slow job that is
hope to have a slightly bigger update within the next week (with more photos
