Coming along nicely

Still a bit wierd for me seeing some of these pics, as they give me a tingle and remind me of my times with that actual car. I never thought I would see some of those specific parts again.

Like the steering column in the one shot, in 1993 (long before mobile phones) I was at a 21st birthday party in a local bowls club one night and my Dad turned up out of the blue, the police had rang him to say the car had been broken into in the carpark. Out we went and the bastards had bent the column trying to break the steering lock, luckily we had a hidden kill switch as they had got past the alarm, and they coudnt start it.

I clearly still remember going down the breakers yard the next day to pull out a replacement column as they are a standard sierra part, which is the one in the pic.

On the rear panel are the child seat belt anchors still welded on - they came out of a Holden of all things my uncle fitted them to get it through compliance.

Was and still is a great example

Hey mate - working on the car this weekend in Thomastown. Most likely all Monday (long weekend). Give us a buzz if you can catch up.

0417167885.

Cheeky Monkey!!

[Vic]

alloy fuel cap has always been on the cards.. now I GOTTA get one

[LINCOLN]

Fitted the Gpa engine mount kit - bit annoyed the kit was drilled wrong but eventually got it to fit allright.



And fitted some hatch hold downs.



Did a bunch of other stuff but not much photo worthy.

[rudeboy]

I like the number plate too Linc ...

It was a Newton fuel cap and made a alluminium "ring" to put inside the standard filler area. Can send you a cad drawing or make you a ring (pretty sure a mate Vic wants one too) if you want. You need to grind a little of the standard filler area and the back of the filler has a 50mm or 56mm ring so could easily adapt to a standard tank via a piece of flex pipe - want me to take a few photo's of the back area?

[LINCOLN]

Ok got the car ready for painting today and was all set to send the creative carbon bonnet off to get painted white on top but hit a bit of a stumbling block when i fitted it.... and it looked awesome.

The weave does not come out much in the photo's









What do you think? I am going to have to paint it I think as it may look a little ricey.

[Leslie DG]

no, not ricey, the wheels just perfect, the carbon hood also fits in the picture. ok, the white -black hood is the "panda style", came from riceland but they fucked up, because the black should not be shiney, gotta be silky, no reflection from the sun. just like the am.futball guys put black under their eyes.

whatever, i think its cool

[rudeboy]

I know where your coming from Linc ... its a touch 'boyracer' ... but it would be lovely to see it ...

Not very 'Sierra' though ... The local Nissan S15's drivers will get a little confused ...

How about leaving the just underside unpainted ?

[Twins]

Looks fantastic leave it carbon

[Glenn.]

Top work.

[LINCOLN]

Thinking paint it but put a decal/sticker on first and peel it off once painted!

Thanks for comments. OzMk1Cos you on any aus forums mate?

[RS_Gav]

Linc... Been way toooo long.
I came on just to check your progress mate! Hope you are well. Car is coming along well I see. Your fabrication still inspires me. and yes yes, I will do an update soon I promise.

*Thread steal alert* Ozmk1cos... Are you a member of the RS owners club in Perth here mate? Keen to see Mk1 Cossie!

[LINCOLN]

Hey Gav - how it going? Hope the family are good.

Yes mate - updates!!!!!!!!!! Need to see your car again.

[marky_g]

this it crazy love it

[graham c]

some nice work going into this

[oohogwash1]

Nice work Linc, hey that Cage mount is not to the sweet spot we talked about for rear beam... Is that an old pic maybe

[Roosie]

Good stuff mate.

what thickness is that carbon card on your dash as i need some but didint know if the 1.2mm will take the weight of my aim dash

[LINCOLN]

Milestone - painted the inside/engine bay and carbon bonnet. Turned out that the closest colour to the original diamond white (now faded) was a TOYOTA colour exactly. WOW.

I guess I am at the bottom of the project - onwards and upwards!

[MARCOSWORTH]

That looks lush mate, let the build begin

[PAUL S]

best of both worlds with the way you had the bonnet painted

what plans do you have for the sunroof hole as I see you have chopped out the structure.

Great to see its ended up with a real enthusiast.

[LINCOLN]

Hey Paul - I have a carbon plug being made for the sunroof hole.

Thanks for all the support and I owe you a beer for looking bringing and looking after the car mate.

[Leslie DG]

this is a beauty!!!

[rudeboy]

Awwh Linc ... looks awesome mate.

What a difference a bit of paint makes hey?

And the bonnet ... white on top ... truth underneath There's strength in subtlety.

Coming together now. Good luck bud.

[oohogwash1]

That is amazing Linc, your Car is one million percent with that.

Definately some of the best money spent so far....

You can sell those rattle cans to the graffitti dudes that roam the streets

[LINCOLN]

Some people may not like this but I have been scrubbing and prepping the whole underneath of the car - took ages (24hrs total I reacon) and got it cleaned all up. However instead of white that I have to keep clean I used a satin black solvent based stone guard. The whole underneath is satin black and I think it looks The stone guard remains flexible whilst still being tough.

Also fitted the front suspension and some of the rear (still need to fit rear gpa ARB). Some may not like the colour combo but sick of all black and white and wanted something to offset all the braided fittings coming. The whole car is being assembled from new cap head socket screws - incl. new arp cromo studs fitted in the hubs





































Also my mate Paul has almost got his Fraser (seven style kit car) almost done too! So many custom bits on the car all fabricated by his oen hand!!!!!

10" wide centrelocks.
Offset engine mounting to fit a big driver.
Throttle bodies.
Extractors and muffler.
Wide track suspension arms.
Coilovers.
Dry sump system.
So many detail bits and pieces....

[LINCOLN]

Man the photo's are killing me - why can you see blemishes in the satin black only under flash photos???????

Fark more work to do.

[Glenn.]

I love the wheels they look well cool.
