Default My Blue Sapphire Sierra 2.0i

Hello mates. I wanna show you my sierra...its 2.0i DOHC,88KW.
Plan is to turn it in Cosworth...well replica....for now
it looks like this now:





Interior:


Suspension and brake calipers got some color....

And yes its 1kg potato for 5.99....kunas,its about 0.50 pounds....if you read newspepper in arch.
engine cover too...

Then I found some friends playng with sierras,one of them got workshop just around corner,so things got easier
In few day I should get short shifter and some kind of JAP style exaust...
Until then i got fun with this thins:

Cosworth front bumper,spoiler and rear bumper with lip(zender I think)
I'm preparing this items for varnishing,oh and mirrors too.
That is for now,further plans contains bigger wheels,rear discs&LSD,coilvers and so on...Oh yea I'm lookin for cosworth hood grils,with no luck for now
anyhow,updates soon. Cya

Hello again. We work a little bit in garage,nothing connected to replica,but still....its work


We installed short shifter,its amazing how much quicker and precise are throws now.
when you working on things like this,its important no to left things dry

then there was some work on manifold,it's causing problems since i got the car,who knows what was previous owner done with it its better now,but i'm gonna need new one. Oh yes,new exaust tip is installed,so I finaly know how much I need to cut hole in new rear bumper.
Looks like this,maybe polish it a bit?

Hello again mates.
I put some works in bumpers finnaly,after puting RS lip on rear bumper there was nasty hole or something....now its nice and smooth.

Picture is in middle of the work now its better
Next thing is preparation for varnishing.
Oh yea I find side skirts finally,I'll pick them up probably next week.
I was very bored yesterday so I put some LED in position lights


And I got new rims,its 14" again,so im not so satisfied....but it was good offer,and they in good condition.
This is gonna be for winter setup,I'll look for some bigger rims in spring
This is how they look,I think its better than old ones.
