Default XR4x4 Technics Turbo

Recently bought it off e-bay as a spares or repair with MOT and tax etc..
Its an 'E' plate 2.8 V6 with Technics Turbo conversion... Should be putting out between 200 & 250 BHP..
Its got bailey dump valve. Custom stainless exhaust..
Plan is one day when the old girl's rotten apart that I'll bung the running gear in a westy or something...
meantime... Its going to get a major overhaul as the suspension is shot so are the brakes..air con's been half ripped out so heaters don't work
In the meantime its going on a bit of a stripout diet - sierra ROLLCAGE anyone??



Will post more pics as the project continues

Surely it can't be that bad?

Sill and chassis are generaly what the sierra fail mot on.

Why not fix it up?
