Thought I best start a thread as had this car since March/April and have ben slowly doing things to it and collecting various parts for the rebuild.

Aim of the car is to have a nice 3dr cossie replica running a yb for track, drift and general hooliganism.

Im aiming to have this on the road for the price of a good saff and still have quite a few parts left over from my moonstone 3dr cossie which was stripped 3 years ago.

Car had been standing in the previous owners back garden for about 4 years and still hasnt been washed

Anyway here are the pics of when i got it...







There is some minor damage to the front, as when it was being transferred into this rear garden 4 years ago, the trailer had to do an emergency stop and car the rolled into the cab resulted in damaged front bumper, lightly damaged slam panel and the spare engine in the boot ended up popping the rear screen



In the garage, awaiting a raping



The spares in the car, including side skirts, various bits of loom and spare 205 pinto engine, various pinto spares including front strut brace, etc





The car sat like that for a couple of months whilst i bought a few spares and tried to make space in my other garage.

Then I started to strip the fucker down so i know what needs to be done, what bits to keep and sell, etc.

Interior will have a cage and a pair of bucket seats and nothing else, so will be selling the complete 3dr Cossie trim including all interior plastics, etc.



As its a base model you can clearly see the old blue colour these used to come in, but the car has been sprayed diamond white on the outside, doorshuts and engine bay so will be keeping it as it is for now.

The spare wheel well is in pretty good condition, although the pics show very light surface rust and it is missing a bung as it has started to rust through so will be getting that sorted at some point



The area where the rat lived and shat - nearly puked cleaning this bit but it looks pretty solid too







A bit of work to do on the rear strut area but is not as bad as the pics show









Saggy 3dr cossie roof lining which will be coming out



Rear lights out, one of them has a broken lug on the rear so will be looking for another set during the build







Small bit of surface rust on the bootlid



Rear light panel has some rust but its solid behind so will be getting these areas dealt with

































Interior being removed





The boot release switch (dont see these often) but found out they were on the XR4i's





Accidental shot of the drivers door and sill but it looks all solid



Rear door cards out...





Rear bench out, it has few marks and indentations from when they were parts in the car when it was left to stand outside





Still got the back rest in the car, which will be removed when i figure out how to remove it

Front drivers seat which is in pretty good condition although not perfect but useable





Very good passenger seat





Front door cards removed



Bit of damage on one but this is not seen once the pocket is fitted













The interior carpet is a bit manky and needs a thorough wash and clean. Not gonna have a carpet in the car so will be sold with the rest of the interior - i was ready to blow chunks cleaning this up - the fucking rat





Sound deadening removed, threw out the bit at the front of the pic but still have the tunnel part - again not going in the car so will be sold



The passenger side floor - its solid - ignore the little surface rust by the sill



rear passenger floor




The drivers side floor - has had a plate welded in by the seat mount but is all solid so thats good news



My sierra seat mounts waiting to be bolted onto my buckets





More updates soon
