My new project:

Well I have a new project for myself - a 1990 Sierra XR4x4

It is a little gem and will be restored to better than new all being well.

It has a genuine 35000 miles and plenty of original paperwork.

I haven't even had chance to wash it yet so it is as it came from the previous owner.

Plans are sort some niggles on it - aircon belt needs replacing, indicator stalk needs replacing, few other odds and sods but nothing major. The paint is swirlmarked and it does have dents where things have fallen on it while it was garaged for around 20 years. I do plan on a full respray as want it perfect.

The car has no rust from what I can see and has the original dealer matts, plates, stickers.

Anyway here are the pics I managed to quicly take;

Well just got back from a business trip to Germany and had plenty of deliveries while I was away so been busy today.

Parts that have arrived;

- new aircon belt
- new brake discs
- new brake pads
- spare complete inlet plenum
- ambers

Big thanks to YOREVOL off Passionford for sorting me out the genuine Ford ambers!

Started by getting the aircon belt on and then the ambers.

Started on the brakes but the snow put a stop to that so only 1 side has been
done.




Ignore the rusty rocker covers as some tasty ones are sorted

Still havent had a chance to clean and polish it but all
being well that will be tomorrow




Parts still to sort;

- headlight wiper
- sunroof seal
- stainless exhaust
- panel filter

Will keep this updated as it progresses.....
