Hi there
This is my first resto thread so bear with me lol

This is how the car started on tuesday morning when we bought it from a guy on hear called flash rs. It is a rolling shell the used to run a small block v8. Its got 3dr cosworth interior 2wd rear beam with lsd ect, my aim is to put a zetec turbo in it with 2wd runing gear t5 gearbox ect, and take off the exhisting body kit and replace it with a 3dr body kit. Not going for anything con-course or any thing just a bit of fun and a few track days ect.

update 15/1/12

right guys anoter update been in the garage over the week end done a bit on the sierra

last night we test fitted the engine, gearbox and prop shaft.

First we fitted the gear box roughly in its place as we need to modify the tunnel or mount to use the cosworth T5 in a basic shell.


Then we placed the engine in its hole and bolted the engine and box together with a couple of bolts.




Then we fitted the prop shaft to the car just so that we can see where the engine and box need to sit before we can make the mounts ect.its sitting preety much where it needs to be give or take a inch either way
