Let´s see how much live is still left in this forum.

Hello everyone,
sorry for my english, at nearlly 40 years old i´m still learning.

I´m Thomas from Austria. And a couple weeks ago i bought my first Sierra.
It´s a 1987 MK2 2.0i Ghia with the fuel injected Pinto engine.
The car is equipt with a factory sunroof and central looking, but without ABS and power steering.

Thanks to this forum, i learned a lot and also found a lot of good advice for my car.
I want to build a fun weekend car for occasionall Track use.

Why a Sierra ?
My dad had 3 Sierras in the past, and i learned how to drive in one of his and in my Grandpas Scorpio.

And now after a lot of japanese cars and 2 new cars, it was time for me to build myself a nice old car again.
Here is the Sierra on the day i brought it home.





And currently on jack stands so i can work on it.




I allready bought some parts over the last monts:

1992 Cosworth 4x4 Recaro cloth seats with 4 doorcards
Ford RS 7-spoke 7x15 wheels
Sierra Cosworth fiberglass front bumper
Ford Sierra RS side skirts
Ford RS Momo steering wheel
3.92 LSD Diff from a Sierra 2.0 DOHC 4x4
Sapphire non Cosworth Grill

I also plan to facelift the car into a Sapphire front end and maybe i can find a 4x4 cosworth hood that doesnt cost thousands of euros.
Next on my list are disk brakes in the rear and cosworth suspension , if i can find all the parts.

I will occasionally post my progress here.

Have a nice day.
