Default Sierra estate 4x4 ghia 2.8 v6 turbo technical project

Ive just bought this project, it needs so much work, non runner atm ,I’ve got a spark, fuel pump is seized and fuel pipes corroded really bad, floor is really good, needs a bit of welding to the rear sills, couple of nearside doors , tailgate, all the brakes, that’s just for starters!!! I love a challenge lol

I’ve seen that advertised on eBay. Is the front bumper a genuine part?
Good luck and please keep the updates coming.

the floor is pretty good, I’m waiting to move it onto the ramp and have a proper dig around, I need to get it running first, the rear Brakes are seized , the rear sills will need some attention
