Hi mate's

After posting my fiesta mk2 rs turbo i would to make an topic about my sierra.

I bougth this car 1 year ago. And set it immediately in the garage for the winter months.
When the summer begin i started with a good cleaning. The car came from Italy and i living in the netherlands. The advantage from it is no rust! But the sky is hanging down.

The car was running on a stage 1 chip. Had a dumpvalve, and a half stainles exhaust.
And from outside complete original.

Here pics of the car!









When i had drivin a 3000km's the engine broke down. So the day after it i started to search for the problem. And about that i was not happy! See the pics below





The piston from the third cylinder is burned. So what to do now. I go for a complete restoration!
First i started to get the engine out. This was verry difficult for my. I never had worked on a cosworth. After mutch hard working its down.





So this was it for now. Tomorrow or in the weekend a next update!

Hope you like my project.

Cheers

nice one matey

 

Costs a fortune with all the new parts and the +0.5 pistons, but it will be worth it.

The engine looks even better in real life

 

Top work mate.Car parts look so much better with a coat of paint on them.

 

looking good going from your number plates, are you in Roermond? if so my sister used to live not far from you in Elmpt

 

Well noticed


We both live in Roermond yes. Elpmt is very close indeed, think it's less then 10 Km. It's a nice little place because the unlimited motorway to Munchen Gladbach stars there

 

Cheers pal. Yes, I got the car from Jack in May last year, he's an honest and great guy to do business with. Say hello from me if you meet him one day

Engine parts looks awesome btw! Have you painted the head or is it just cleaned properly?

 

Shame you've to do this mate, do it once and properly

Welke koppakking heb je nu gebruikt Nick??

 

If I may awnser for Nick. We used the gasket we got from you (small turbo Escos), good enough for the power it will be running


[dutchmode]

De auto is al een paar weken klaar maar Nick is er nu pas aan toe gekomen om zijn verhaaltje hier te plaatsen. Om niet het topic meteen naar beneden te laten vallen plaatst hij nu gewoon om te zoveel tijd een update.

[/dutchmode]



Think I'll see Jack tomorrow, will say hi from you. Oh and the head is painted

 

I passed a German police car there (between Wegberg and Elmpt) the other day with 220+km/h

Felt real odd i must say

Ik wist wel dat ie al klaar was, heb nog met Nick gemaild

 

For now i started to build up the engine and gearbox.

When everything is in new color and fitted again it looks great! Like to do this work. Much better then get everything of.

First i get all the stuff from Mike Rainbird. A box of 34kg. And it isnt everything.

The new oil pump, take a pic becease cosworth stays on it. I'm never gone see it again.


started with the engine





Also fitted shortshift and Powerflex on the cradle from the gearbox


Engine and gearbox


Also replaced all the bushes for powerflex ones


Hope you like everything!
Cheers

 

Nice work mate! Keep the updates coming!!

 

 

Looking good


Brian

 

love it

 

Die van jou marco. Is prima voor mij. Hou het toch onder de 300pk. Heb wel een andere chip ondertussen. Een van gerry knubben. De oude vertrouwde ik toch niet helemaal eigenlijk.

 

Now the engine and gearbox are ready it can go back in the car.
i looked reluctant to get the engine back up. But he is in for now.
Just look at the pics

engine back in




turbo back on



Love it to build everything back, it seems like some.




Hope u like it

Cheers

 

coming along nicely

 

looks good mate my brothers sierra cosworth is the same colour

 

Nice

 

Ebony Black is a good color

 

Is the best colour for a saph

The car looks amazin. credit to you, im loving the stand look

 

Thank you mate!

 

Next update,

First fix the exhaust and the underside. Stabi, etc.

Then the car have seen the daylight again! First test drive was good!
But you get used to the vibratechnics. Hear the engine better in the car. Or feel it

I'm verry happy with the result. It costs but you have quality.

Time for the pics.




Front bumper back on an it looked good


First day light
