Am looking for the rear floor panel and transmission tunnel from a sierra for my rwd onion project, have tried a few suppliers and scrappies with no luck and apparently ford don't even have them either, I would like to buy the pans & tunnel separate as I can't justify chopping up a sierra just for its floors and cheap sierras are hard to come by these days as well anyway, any links or info on where I could get these bits would be appreciated, could I also use the sierra front end? Think a mk1 sierra fronted Orion would look quite smart and sierra subframe etc can only help handling, right?....pics to follow as soon as I can sort out a computer that doesn't need a punch to turn on

 

Try your luck on the FSOC forum, you never know.

There is a bloke in Lincolnshire with a field full of Sierra's.

 

best using a complete floor pan from a 4x4 or 2wd cosworth and fit that to the orion shell.

 

After saying all that I acquired myself a sapph with everything I need for £60 last night,_ happy days!

 

What's the FSOC forum mate?, yeah I know of a bloke just down the road from me with 6 or 7 sierras he's had sat there for fuckin years, been there asking as I can remember but he won't let anyone touch them, he doesn't like people even so much as having a look

Is there a difference between the cosworth and standard floors etc then? I thought cosworth just took a sierra Rollin chassis straight from the factory and put there own bits on it

 

Nice one, cheers fella i'll have a proper look through that later on

 

Cosworth relates to the engine, nothing else, the rest is the same as lesser models in terms of the floor pan (The exception being the Escos), a bit of trivia is the trans tunnel got wider after 85 I think, also with 4x4's they had 'half moons' to accommodate the front drive shafts, all later shells had these though.
