Hey,This is the start of a major project for us,the car was featured in September 1991 in Fast car,was on the cover and was black with the texaco stickers.Since then a wide arch kit and respray has taken place,But since then the car has sat for 7 years and is in need of a lot of work!!!!

mods include a Garret T04 Turbo running safely at around 18psi,MT75 G/box,Seriously played with Motor!!!Was at about 400BHP when was last running properly!!

Its gonna take a bit of time but with the help of a few mates and X-Factor Motorsport,it should be done in around 6-12months!!!and i cant wait to get it done!!!!!
have a few pics here that was taken on the first time i ever saw the car!

what the bloody hell happend to that car? seems like a tornado did run
over it

 

Thats what sitting under a pine tree for 8 years will do to it.
We are gonna give it a tidy up on Thursday I think to see where we are with it then make a plan of attack for the restoration.
We need to take the kit off in places to check that all is well on the original shell, also the interior will need stripping to check the chassis properly.
Gonna be a lot of fun and I know there will be a lot to learn along the way with this one as its not exaclty normal lol

 

Yea,is damm dirty!!!!bits are unfinished also,was dropped as a project by the original owner due to lost interest,and bad paint job,but we up for the challenge!

Will get some pics on thursday once clean and shiny!!!!!!

 

Thats one badass sierra! Cant wait for the rebuild pics

i want them wheels

 

I'd like the wheels aslong as I didn't have to pay for the tyres
We've got a lot done in a short time now for the hard work in finding panels and getting them on

 

lol yea i gotta pay for them!!! think the backs are 315/45 R17 !!! FECK!!!!!!! so dont expect many burnouts!!!! well....maybe a couple,just to warm em up

 

Erm they will probably end up with flat spots on em, from me learning to use it on a track

 

gonna be an awesome car once you guys sorted it

 

lol or from where u get carried away with Mr AngleGrinder!!!! Need to get car checked out on jig now,just to check all is in order!!!!...i hope,fingers crossed!!!!

 

cant c the pics n a mroe

 

why cant you see them???i can

 

its looking mad keep then us updated and more pic,s plz

is it gonna stay a 2.8 turbo ? or are there othere plans for the beast .?

 

its now a 2.9,and most of the engine work has already been done,at the mo we are just working on the bodywork,engine will be checked and serviced,due to it was only rebuilt 200miles ago!but has stood for a while

at the mo unfortunatly its on hold due to we've got to get the xr2 turbo back on the road!

 

now thats a monster!

 

thanx chum.cant wait to get it finished n have some sideways fun!!!

BTW you lot, can i have some suggestions on wat colour to do it???

 

cadburys purple flipped with green.

 

What a car nice to see one make it nice and keep the pics coming m8 keeping a close eye on this project

 

imperial blue!!

 

cool, my thoughts 1st were black or white,thing is theirs a lot of fibreglass kit n its gonna show a lot of defects in paint but i suppose a flip would work.....
