After having my 3door for over 8 months now and finaly getting somewhere thought i would FINALY get a build thread up hope you all enjoy

just after i pickd it up, made a few carbon bits and fitted a saff dash
































slightley lowerd to se how it would look, new shocks and springs soon, and with an old back box i had lying about









got all my paint, nice frozen white and all other bits needid, £100 didnt think that was to bad ?





i then pick up a full interior off RANN (top lad) but no pics of that all atm. will get some soon

few more pics of when i got a set of cozz wheels, again of RANN













i then got on collecting all my body work. got a gen front bumper , copy grill , genn spoiler , skirts and few other bits for £250
then from a lad on hear i asked him to hold a few pices for me, in the end gave me abslotley loads for fuck all top guy he was aswell altho cannot rember his name, got a gen bonnet, 8 arches , rep 500 bumper, gen rear bumper, carbon front splitter (needs abit of work) and im sure the was somethink els? all for the grand total of £70

i then AGAIN thanks to RANN got a lower 500 carbon spoiler, needs some work but should look mint when done.

any way got prepping all the bodykit for paint.




then done a trial fit to se how it all looks and fits before they spray man get hold of them



































is this normal??????







they all went into the body shop for prime
and paint















and then he painted them, to say i was happy was an understatment

I think you need one of these for it and if you wire it up like i have you can make it go down when you pop the boot lid

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/UNIVERSAL-WING...item563feb7937

scoobypete

yhe ive gota get one sorted.why does it only go up and down when you pop the boot, dhould it not do it when you tern the radio on and off?

jim_robson

Looks lovley this, cant wait to see it go back together.

Im still looking for another mk1 3dr lol

Jim

scoobypete

a few people on hear have said that, a few months ago there was 3 base models on P/H but not seen any for a while apart from this? not a bad price eather, i know hes also had it for a while and when i spoke to him , got him down to £900 but changed my mind in the end, maybe worth a try. he REALY wants it out of his way lol

scoobypete

found a 3door base if anyone is intrestid


http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sierra-2-door-...item415a12bc2a

jim_robson

Yeah seen both of them, the ebay one is only really good for a lightening rod shell.

The 24v one i enquired about, the aftermarket sunroof and type9 box put me off though.
Id rather get a boggo 1.6l like my old one and start from scratch.
