Well, thought it about time i post up my project car may not be a cossie but she wears the blue badge just as proud

It started out as a Sierra 1.8 CVH LX, poverty spec, and the specification has grown ever since

unfortunately, im a better mechanic than photographer, so excuse the blurred pictures

Pics of Exactly how she looked when i first got her

Exterior - notice the tow bar!

Nice interior

Only other pictures of it as i got it

with the top spec cloth doorcards, soon found there way to the tip


Well, soon after that I got stripping out bits and was left with this



so then the rebuild began, no pictures of the original CVH engine, but thats was nothing special, and she has had her breaks uprated to 260's and rear discs (with a LSD of course )

New Engine in and running (with a can of petrol underneath as a fuel tank )


and now for the stripdown as plans do change bringing us more uptodate with this project



and a pic to prove she is tidy inside, just waiting the sound deadening to come up (tips please guys)



and what old ford would be missing some of this any tips on how to fix would be greatly received, i cant weld

 

Insert 2,9 12v v6

and have some fun

 

its a very heavy engine for the power it produces, and gearboxes would start causing a problem

hence the pinto is the reasonable option, also need it cheap as im skint

 

 

Not true. Gearbox is excellent! Engine with small modes can gave You about 200hp.

 

You dont need power to have fun, just mental commitment.

weld the diff and go get wreckless

 

Haha, that's right!

Or....

a lot of rain You can "drifting" with 1.6 ohc from sierra MKI

 

Well,

A Small Update, Now have the front lowered 25mm on uprated shockers with nylon TCA outers and Poly inners and poly strut tops

have given the engine bay a wash out



No where near spotless, but no forest behind where the fuse box was, so im happy

Also have started putting the thing back together, and stripping out the sound deadening - what a slow job that is

hope to have a slightly bigger update within the next week (with more photos

 

cool little project mate!

 

Cheers, Just my little something to do when i have spare time and cash,

which is not that often
