just got back after picking up my new sierra 3door base, 1.6 body is abslotley mint, just abit of rust on the rear osr arch but easly fixable . hopefully picking up a 3door kit in next few weeks, then look for a nice engine , thinking maybe a cossy v6 or a yb if funds allow, will get some pics up tomra

 

any pics?

 

pics?

It would have been nice to have a reply to the pm i sent ya regarding the blue genuine 3dr i told ya about, especially after all the messages to and fro.

Best of luck with it and get those pics up?

Where did you get it from and how much?

Ran

 

Sounds good.drop a cossie 24v in,loads of fun and unbreakable! Just done it myself and just jump in rag it to death over and over again,cant do that with my cossie!

 

i did pm you back m8, carnt rember what it said, will get some pics up asap, i paid Ł600 btw

 

thats what i was thinking of doing, whats involved, do you have any piks of whats was involved?

 

the 24v is a tough old beast. the p100 has had nearly 3 years of daily abuse! it gets warmed up, and ragged! never missed a beat apart from a breather coming off, and a exhaust leak. quality motors, and they sound epic!

 

how hard was it to fit ? apaart from engine and loom what els is needid?

 

it bolts onto the existing mounts so direct fit, if your going 4x4 u need an xr4x4 sump. and if you are going manual u need a 2.8 12v flywheel then if u are fitting an mt75 gearbox the top two bolts and the bellhousing are further apart on a YB bellhousing, so you need the bellhousing/whole mt75 box from an xr4x4. you need to come up with a downpipe as ford dont do one. if u use a type 9 the 24v will destroy it so just dont...
the easyest thing to do is buy an old xr4/xr4x4 with rot and swap all the bits.

 

ok well am staying rwd and just want the best option realy, what does it roughley cost?

 

fucking useless thread

pics!

 

will get some tomra, have been buisy sory

 

old dash removed

saff dash and a few carbon bits i made up









hope you like

 

that was up for Ł300 on pistonheads,then for sale again straight away for Ł6-700 bud

is it clean

 

it was up for 400 on p,h, i rang him 20 mins after it went up an the lad i got it from got there quicker lol but then decided he didnt have enough room so put it up for 600 and went to view it, was happy and , yhe, u get it lol and yes is very clean

 

Nice colour

 

that is very clean mate - well done.

I have a genuine rear cosworth upper spoiler if you're after one

 

YB it and leave it looking standard. Don't see many sleeper 3 door Sierras

 

i would yb it and keep it stage 3 - should be very reliable at that level too.

 

would love to but dont have the money think it will have to be a cossy v6 untill i can afford one

 

love it lol may be you should do you FRS the same

 

im in the same boat with a very limited budget - but as i have just bought a e36 325i for a drift schlaag i may as well take my time and save a bit and put a cossie in there as i wont be happy with anything else.

 

Looks a good shell that

Here was mine:


Got really lucky, no rot at all

This is it now:

 

PS

It took nearly 4 weeks flat out (2 weeks for my mate and 2 weeks for me) for the transformation, surprising how many hours are involved!

 

4 weeks - ffs sake chip that is well quick.

I have had mine for a few months now and aint done shit except open the garage door, look at the car and then think fuck that and promptly close the door

 

that look mint ^^^

 

looks mint mate ,half the battle is a good clean shell

 

of to take it for MOT now, fingers crossed

 

good luck - get some pics while its on the ramp

 

Good idea will make a cool sleeper tho

 

put up a resto thread too

 

i will doo, do you have anythink interior wise you would sell? bits of plastics and stuff?

 

Good clean base mate!

Chip, loving the yellow mate looks spot on!

 

well faild mot not on alot tho osf tyre is rong size and osr wheel bering, pluss emmisions are abit high, how so i go about lowering them?

 

yes i do mate - still got a few interior bits from my old one but i will also be stripping the interior out of my white one as gonna go cage and buckets.

pm me what you require

 

keep the colour and deffo go for sleeper style

 

i would but i realy hate the jelly mold look should be piking up a 3door kit in the next few weeks think im thinking going white but i want in to be a realy BRIGHT white
