With the Sierra I plan to keep it a while so I see it as a long time project to make it as strong and reliable as I can ... my problem is that I'm 'a bit' of a perfectionist so it will take me a while .



I dont want to mess with the look of the car so I'll use unlabelled black Roose hoses in the bay, get a nice intercooler/radiator set up whilst keeping the standard airbox (already got K&N inside) and fluid bottles. Replace all items that may perish in the bay and always servicing it regulary myself .. I reckon thats what saved the TX3. Eventually I'd be looking for 350ish hp.

Anything crusty on the underneath I'm cleaning up and repainting or replacing if need be (and if possible) ... with heaps of paint polishing on the outside

Eventually some Compomotive CXN's would be nice ...



... and when I tidy up inside I was thinking VDO gauges 'cause they have the same colour back lighting and similar indication (simple and plain) as standard instruments ... hopefully they will look like they were meant to be there.



A little bit at a time so I can keep it on the roads for driving as much as possible I'll keep the TX3 for my reliable daily car
