Default Restoration my sierra cosworth 4x4 Update 11-9

Hi mate's

After posting my fiesta mk2 rs turbo i would to make an topic about my sierra.

I bougth this car 1 year ago. And set it immediately in the garage for the winter months.
When the summer begin i started with a good cleaning. The car came from Italy and i living in the netherlands. The advantage from it is no rust! But the sky is hanging down.

The car was running on a stage 1 chip. Had a dumpvalve, and a half stainles exhaust.
And from outside complete original.

Here pics of the car!









When i had drivin a 3000km's the engine broke down. So the day after it i started to search for the problem. And about that i was not happy! See the pics below





The piston from the third cylinder is burned. So what to do now. I go for a complete restoration!
First i started to get the engine out. This was verry difficult for my. I never had worked on a cosworth. After mutch hard working its down.





So this was it for now. Tomorrow or in the weekend a next update!

Hope you like my project.

Cheers
