Default Sierra 3 Door Project car



Ive had this car for a while now, and had slowly been building up parts for it as a project,
I bought it as a 1.6L replica, and I stripped the car completely of any interior, the outside i removed the fake bodykit, but kept the arches.
It was left at my parents for a while and we started work on it, but weather slowed my progress,
Since then its been sat in my garage, while i get enough bits together to build it up.
Ive now got most of what i need to put it all together, interior, bonnet, sideskirts, spoiler, all genuine. front bumper is a fake one though.
and put a 2.0L pinto engine in it and had the head worked on, ported with a piper cam. ive yet to refit the head on.

Thing is, I kinda lost interest in it, and have left it sat there.. just been too busy i guess.

Would you think its worth building a 3 door rep? as I want to sell my saff rep to get some money together, and wondered if i should just sell the bits ive got..
Friends of mine just keep saying im wasting my time and to sell everything, but i cant make up my mind what to with it all to be honest.


Any thoughts fellow ford peeps??

That was the plan, and to use my escort to potter about in to work, unfortunately last night the escort got written off when I was hit in it and it ended up in a ditch amongst some trees

Its what my mates keep saying too, but who will want to buy an unfinished project?? I dont think it would be worth anything the way it is now.
