Hello!
New to the site, bit of a noob! so be nice More at home fixing up motorbikes but just bought myself a P100, she needs alot of love but I'm in it for the long run! I believe its been used as a drag car at some point (guessing by the mental stance and set up - pics to follow!!) She's got a 2.8 V6 Cologne heart in her which is a little rough but runs ok... with a little persuasion!
First things first I need to lift the front end (currently about 2 inch off the floor!) I'm gonna put some new springs/shocks on her cause on inspection I think her previous owner just cut the springs down to about 2 coils been looking at a few things but what do you guys suggest? you can get some standard xr4 springs/shocks on ebay for not alot of money - will these fit straight on? thinking they'll be strong enough to hold the weight of the lump properly and a little lower to give a nicer look than returning to standard. Thanks in advance!! Ben.

 

Does it still have the 5 stud commercial suspension set up. Cosworth stuff fits the front i believe

 

it does mate yeah... gonna have a closer look tonight after work, ill post some pictures.

 

Welcome aboard matey!

Love P100's

Here's mine ATM

 

Welcome mate

 

Mate, yours looks like its going to be awesome! Had a good look around mine last night.. Funnily enough found some rust! And then some more rust! All the outer bodywork seems to be fairly good bar the front bumper which is knackered... Few small holes underneath sigh! But on the plus side had a good play with the carb set up and put some fresh fuel in her and she ticks over now! not all is lost! Desperately need to sort the front suspension out, subframe is about 2 inch off the floor at the front nightmare to negotiate through works yard (where she's living ATM)!

 

How do I upload some pictures? The insert image button wants me to put in a URL? But there just in my documents... Confused.

 

You need to host them on an image site like photobucket, once you upload them to there, there will be a url that displays under the picture and you copy and paste them into that little box that's asking for an url

Cool project.I do like the P100s there cool.

 

Drop the lot out of the bottom. Much easier.

 

Cool project ..what wheels and tyre size are the rears ?

 

any more pics and updates about this cool project P100 ?

 

Sorry! haven't updated in a while... Since I last did I've stripped the engine, relapped all the valves, replaced all the gaskets obv. Had to weld the baffle back together in the sump as it had snapped... and loads of other stuff i cant remember now but shes all put back together looking perty on an engine stand in the the corner waiting for me to crack on with the rest... Also viscous fan binned! (if anyone wants it and in the teesside area - your welcome to it).





AND AS SHE STANDS NOW!!!

 

Looks alright! A capri rear axle is a nice upgrade, all sierra suspension will fit on the front.

Its a little more work to get the sierra rear suspension on the back, but I and many others have done it.

the 24v cossy V6 is a good upgrade from the V6 you have now, but again, all sierra engines will fit.

 

Id be tempted to leave it Matt black

 

Nice mate .Dixie hurry up and start the p100 owners club

 

Yeah I need to sort that!

 

good idea

 

Here's mine I love it

 

yeh come on get your finger out

subscribed,good luck with the project mate ditch the five stud and go four better choice of wheels capri axle is the easiest way on rear everything up front is simple swap.i like the matt black would look tough with banded steels

 

Sierra P100s look mint.

 

For a casual, thep100 has the original engine SOHC 2.0???

I need to find a documentation of P100 to legalize my project in Spain. Here only 1.8TD engine was soldand I need a proof that it is also marketed with2.0 petrol engine.

P100 owners club coming along???

 

HELP! Need some Stop and tail light bulb holders for a P100... Believe they share the same lights as a MK3 Escort Van and a Reliant Robin.
So far tried FORD/Unipart/Europart and a Reliant Robin Specialist with no luck!!
Rare as Hens Teeth!!!

 

Shame about all the welding that needs doing.

 

Keep an eye on ebay. They come up on there. They are gold dust

 

Hey Benjlinz ....what wheel and tyre size do you have ? ......look big on the rear !
