White Mk1 sierra xr4x4 YB powered resto
just thought i'd post some pics of the restoration of my mk1 sierra 4x4 for those who might be interested in looking.
Still alot of work to do as its going to have a YB in it running around 350bhp give or take.
Keeping it diamond white with a 3door bonnet and vent which in my opinion suits the car and not o.t.t.
Feel free to ask and questions and make any comments
Pics hopefully soon

got most of the rust cut out and re-plated, but in side the sills werent the best. probably gonna come through in years to come but for now was plastered with wax oil. the underseal when removed revealed alot more rot than i realised, but had to carry on with it, wasnt going to buy and strip another shell just to find it rotten too.
Always fancied a black mk1 4x4 for everyday use with a v6 24v cosworth rear wheel drive conversion like my white 1 used to be. good luck with yours "3dr cossie"

Nice project, i will be starting my track car project very soon, just have to get the donor camaro road legal so i can take the plate off, then pull the engine out.

Should be ready for ppc in the park in may.
