3dr door sierra cosworth rep - zetec turbo
Hi guys aint been on here for a while, am half way through my latest project and is when I like to start a thread so here goes.
I bought a 3dr shell (red one in pics below) and was the cleanest one I found. I then found a full genuine 3dr cosworth kit , bumpers,arches,skirts and spoiler.
I had my eye on a few bonnets but they were silly money so I bought another 4x4 sierra as it had a genuine bonnet (over the top I know) I sold the engine out of it which almost coverd the amount for the car so was happy with that. I also got 2 of the mintest front seats I had seen and the dash was really tidy. I took the 4x4 front subframe setup as had all been polybushed so turned out good buying a whole car just for a bonnet
Cutting the rest short all my bits sat around for a year or so as didn't have the space to do it but moved into a bigger workshop 6 months ago so work started on the red shell straight away.
I go to classic ford every year and have always taken an old ford and I'm trying my best not to let the 2014 show be any different.
On with the pics
I spent a few weeks going round the outside sorting the bodywork as I wanted it in primer asap, I cant find any earlier pictures as I lost my phone, some work had already been done
I spent a while carefully unpicking the front wing of the 4x4 as it was mint
This was the heart of the workshop keeping us nice and toasty, waste oil burner
Then I put abit of black base over everything for rubbing down purposes
This is the next day and pushed outside
I took everything from underneath of the 4x4 and used them so I spares and Had my rear beam, trailing arms and other bits sand blasted then gave them a couple of heavy coats of 2pac primer then 2 heavy coats of 2 pac black
Gave them a couple of days then started to fit things back together
Everything was stripped from underneath ready for cleaning and painting, couldn't help but offer the kit up
I then had a bad couple of weeks and just decided fuckit the underneath is getting done in black shutz not a heavy thick coat just a light dusting. I actually like it as the car is never going to be concourse and it will always be just a rep. I didn't get any pics of that but I then got on with building up the rear end
Lsd diff from the 4x4
I'll up load more pics tomorrow as still got plenty.
will also give full details of engine spec and power I'm aiming for.
Not the best of pictures so far but so much hard work has got it this far and I'm happy with the results
Any comments welcome. thanks
