Default Desert storm isn't dead...engine & box in

So I've decided to take on another project.....this was delivered just before Christmas A car I've always loved and previously tried to buy with no success, but this time was different.

It has been sitting unloved since about 2007 I think since it was broken for parts, shell has changed hands a few times and unfortunately stored outside for most of it judging by the good condition of the car from when it was broken, to shit of present day



Got it on the ramp and had a look at what we were up against, no big surprises over any other sierra I've seen






An example of the common rust issues, also the sills on both sides need replaced







Started to strip the suspension off that it came with as it was largely unknown and rusty, and the back end is from a 3dr.

















My mate had this that he was breaking we decided to rob the running gear off of it before he got rid of the shell




Next door is a plant hire company, came in handy




Started stripping the car after we lifted it up




Finished




Shell off to its new home





Beam before stripping





Beam stripped and loaded and off the the powder coaters




That's it for now, car is off to the body shop on Thursday, probably won't have many updates for a while, but i'll try and update this when I can.
