Hello from Finland again!

In my previous Sierra project topic I mentioned that if and when Iīm going to get next one itīll be Mk1 Sierra.. So I kept my promise!



I got plenty of plans for this car. First of all, itīs gonna be a track day toy. This is also kinda budget-built, but that doesnīt mean Iīd save in build quality that means I had to do most of the things by myself As the title tells you, there are some Group A- style modifications up to come; at least roll cage and compression strut arms to the front. And a lot more. But below, how this all strated:

I bought this in last December, and it went to garage in January, because before that I had to made some service to that other Sierra, what is still in my use.



Thatīs what it look like when it had driven in...



With a quick view, the bodyshell wasnīt that bad shape, except these rusted wheel arches.



First job was strip the bodyshell, for welding.



Another pic from stripped out interior.



Engine and also fuel tank were removed.

And that famous rust had gone in several places as you can see below...









There was just few examples.

Last spring I bought parts for 2wd Cosworth rearbeam (incl. the diff, brakes etc.), only driveshafts missing now.. Also Iīve bought lots of sheet metal and burned a looooot of wleding wire during this summer

More pics coming up, this was just the beginning
