most of the stuff is there albeit very tired plus i have been collecting parts for a little whilst i looked for a shell, however this car came up and at the money i couldn't resist it is a whole car less engine, g/box, doors complete, front bumper, engine loom, ecu + some odds and sods
i now have most parts to complete, however if you have read most of my posts you will see i need a pair of doors complete + tailgate, as mine is rotten
the body, on close inspection isn't as bad as i initially thought, it needs a pain in the arse repair to the n/s inner wing around the strut top and repairs to both sides in the top corners of the b/head (where they all seem to go), the spare wheel well is a bit crusty, but the chassis rails are remarkably good (which was a shock)
i have got a bit of a welding challenge ahead of me but being used to old fords, it comes with the territory, i have jsut rented a new w/shop with a mate of mine so we are going to do the pair of them in there, it will be all welded up, painted and then rebuilt all by me as that is my whole point of doing them, i have a saff at the mo which i am going to rob some bits from i.e engine and box from so that will help , it is sitting at the moment looking very sorry for itself with a cover over it waiting for the start (hence no pics yet)
whoever painted the car before i got it wants shooting as it is probably the worst paint job i have ever seen
some other points i need to know is are all the sierra range inner wings i.e turret position all the same as i am going to have to cut a section out of a shitter to repair my inner wing and i wanted to know if i can cut up any sierra
I want to keep it as original as possible even to the point i have original wheels going on it ! i have wanted one of these in white since the day they were launched, my ex partners sister-in-laws dad (top man at fords) got a awhite one delivered on there release and she borrowed it that night and drove it round to show me (i was mk2 esccy mad) i remember sitting in it thinking it was the maddest thing i had ever seen ........and so the seed was sown
I cannot wait till its done as i still think they are a head turner today
