hi my name is keith and im from ireland..
ive a ford sierra cosworth 2wd and im currently resoring it back to its full glory.
i bought the car 10 years ago and was driving it for 4 years.
i took up the bug " drifting" and left this to one side.
she is looking worst for wear in some the pictures.
but we decided to have this as my wedding car and SUPRISE herself.
which is on 22nd of august 2015..
we totally stripped the car down to the last bolt and went off for glass blasting to get rid of the rust and find out what bodywork needed to be done..
we needed a good few parts to fix this.
needed new sills and new wings front and rear cross members. loads of custom bits too..
shell is totally rust free now and is just back from bodyshop all painted inside and underneath. we will do outside when we get the engine back in and back rolling.

ive ordered loads of parts from burton power and hopefully they will be here next week.

this thread really sucks with no pictures
i'll put them up later.

cheers
