dont expect many people to be bothered as it hasnt got an rs or st badbe but thought id put some pics up any way. brought this in april for £400 with 9 months ticket. its got some teething problems but hey its 20 years old and they can be sorted. body look battle scared but its solid and theres no rust. good base for some tidying and modding.









needs work but to me it has potential.

rear quarters are in primer at mo as paint was a bit dull and like matt effect. been bargain collecting so far have got

all 4 new shocks
new lowering springs
brembo front discs
new pads
new oil filter
oil
plugs
thermostat
waterpump gasket
piper ss sytem
new non cracked rocker cover
rs front appron (needs 2 cracks reapaired an painted)
rear spoiler ( dont know what it off as it not a xr4x4 one and is smokestone)
new 100w h4 and h3 bulbs
inside door pulls
steering wheel
gearknob
kenwood headunit and speakers

i think there is a few mor bit to go to the collection. will start putting stuff on when my hands heals up and really frustrating not being able to do any think

just need to get some rs side skirts and some amber front and rear lights

 

looks a tidy motor mate, weld the diff up and get sliding

 

that was the whole idea behind buying it lol

 

looks tidy, id put some escort cossie rims on it too

 

Looks tidy fela

 

Keep the updates coming

There are hardly any 5 doors left on the road now

 

Looks a lovely base. I think my 5 door is one of the most rotten. Keep the updates comin, good luck

 

yeah i noticed every one favours the saff. my dad has a saff so thought id hunt down a project 5 door that isnt a xr4x4. was gonna get some banded steels eventually. but been offered some 16in momo with good tires for £40 so they should do for time bein just gloss black them.

just got wait for my hand to heal up and get my dad to get my spring compressors out the garage.

 

manage to do a rear 1/4 with one hand. the looks i get driving around in a car covered with primer patches lols

 

Yeah, hatches are dying now. Its all about saloons for a lot of people. Looks like good work though.
P.s you need to update your sig

 

profile wont let me change it !!

just filling and sanding front appron at the mo.

 

got bit more rear 1/4 done just need to lay some primer on the other side.


manage to use a drill with my left hand was dodgy at few times lol and fitted my bonnet pins . wish i had put the verticaly as i think it looks wierd


cracks in the front apron where the old owner had his car stupid low. and he couldnt be bothered to fix it.
left hand

right hand

tiny crack by grill which i did first

did one side of bumper but missus moaned bout me taking up loads room. apparently a kitchen is for cooking!!


new shocks arived.

kyb shortened gas struts got all four corners

and springs


and cleaned up the piper ss system. not bad system for £60

 

just trial fitted front rs apron. are there different shape o.e sierra bumpers because theres bout an inch overlap either side of the opening on the front . is it ment to be like this or are early bumpers different shape ????

 

Nice. Looks a clean example. I had a Granada with the 2.0 in and that went round roundabout lovely sideways. Gotta be good craic in a sierra.

 

nice m8 really ive just got my 5 door same as yours where abouts are you from ? lookig forward to seeing this go threw its paces

 

in surrey mate. should be a giggle when get the diff migged up!!

just need to get a 4 branch to complete breathing mods but they seem big ££££s

does anyone know bout the bumpers?

 

Nice project mate.
Keep up the good work

 

mines a 92 and was thinking this is ment for a 88ish bumper?











what do people think . it dont look like it for that bumper! are these bumpers popular at all?

 

took a few hours yesterday . every thing real siezed on from new ended up getting a hub smack me clean in the shin!!!

bastard suspension!!!










on to getting the rears off in the morning. and at some point drop the car on the floor

 

Looking good would look stealthy with the apron sprayed up are you putting fogs in or using as cold air feeds??

 

Very cool project.I like mosts sierra.It brings back memorys of my sierra hb.

 

My old car.

 

looking good... i have a xr4x4 rotting on my driveway at the mo, may have to dig it ou!

 

undcided on this yet. have got 2 sets of fogs but am running 100w 6000k headlight and main beam light so prob wont need them.

 

sus work done. just need some fine tuning.


new brembo discs nd pads uprated stiffer shocks nd new springs


stainless sytem fitted


should look better with alloys. my dad has got me some momo gtr's 16in with good tire for £40. any one know what they look like?

need to get my rear camber sorted likes about 2.5* at mo lol

 

coming on well

 

I hope you arnt putting side skirts on it imo it will look mint without any.The car will look cool when its done.

 

wasnt decided on side skirts. i think skirts only suit the cosworth bumper.

i also have a spoiler to go on but dont know bout that either yet.

deffo going all amber lights tho

 

2.9 or 2.8? Get her goin again

 

dont go amber, its the wrong year for amber lights and then you will have holes to weld up behind the number plate panel

hatchbacks i think always look better than safs, my old hatchback

 

are them rouse skirts. do anyone make them still.

are the RSAP skirt different to o.e cosworth skirts??

 

they are rouse skirts, but genuine ones, no one makes them im afraid

 

are cossie ones that only give decent o.e look.

 

yeah, but you would need the cossie front end aswell

only reason i went rouse kit is becuase i had two sets of skidekirts and they look betteron hatch than safs lol

 

dont want to go cos bumper. be done to death. i have the rs appron to go on but think it might need skirts to go with it?

 

yeah you will, be the cossie sideskirts dont look right with the rs optional kit, you would also need the rear bumper extenstion to finish the car off else it will look odd

 

 

not kean on the look of the rear bumper tho think it bit over kill. anyone got any pics of the rs option side skirts....

 

Its got the wrong front bumper on it anyway it should have a 92 spec bumper.
Give me a shout if you need any bits for it, im breaking a saph cos at the moment and ive had 22 sierras so ive got pleanty of spares.

 

Do you have a shop at all?

The car's lookin good btw. What you going to use this for? General stuff or drifting?
