There was a giant rodent who spotted an innocent looking 1.8LXi Sierra

All say ah

Innocent Sierra



Unfortunately it was powered by this



This did not deter the giant rodent who parted with his hard earned £87 and ran off with the innocent beast

But it wasn't long before the call of the wild overcome the rodent, who decided that this would be a better ornament under the bonnet

New ornament



Thus the poor little Sierra had its guts ripped out

All say ah

Guts removed



Not satisfied with ripping it guts out the rodent set upon giving it a face lift

A bit of nip and tuck



4 Weeks to completion and counting

 

I hope you leave the steel wheels on and the 1.8 sticker on the boot. It'd scare the crap out of 3 series drivers

 

Fitting 17" Kahn RSR to fit over the brakes, but the 1.8i badge is staying put, a tow hitch is being added and some caravan owners club stickers for the added effect

 

Nice

 

 

class project lol, loving the sleeper look

Dunc

 

LOL - Love the story


PMSL @ Caravan Club



Cooooool

 

 

 

Not happy with his feeble efforts over the weekend the rodent decided to rip the dashboard out in preperation for replacing the innocent LX's wiring loom

More destruction



But all this destruction was taking it toll on the rodents conscience who was beginning to feel a little guilty for being so rough on the poor little LX

So he contacted Uncle Ryan from the home of Passionforders and asked him to make a little present for the LX, this custom coilpack driven loom was loving made and duly delivered on time to make the LX feel a little better

Pressy for LX

 

 

Glad to see the loom will be going in soon.

Happy to be of service

 

The rodent has had some strippers around again

Stripped


Bit dark


But the rodent has managed to get drivers side electric ears hidden into the LX mirror and all working



Wiring for electric sunroof, rear map lights, rear electric windows wiring is nearly complete. Then its abs loom and put it all back together

Got it started last night, well happy about that now I can get on with changing cam belt and tappets

Desperately need to get the brakes sorted now as I am having major trouble finding a suitable abs loom

If I cant find a loom I may have to consider a different master cylinder setup without abs, so it looks doubtful it'll be completed this weekend and I'll miss the show on the 18th

On the up side the rear seat re-trimming is coming along nicely and should be finished tonight, but until I decide what to with the brakes I cant put the dash back in

So close yet so far from completion

 

 

How are you planning on fitting the car through that door?

 

Sleeeeeeeeeeeeper

 

this is getting good

 

 

I wont make the show on the 18th but you can get an idea of the finished car

Inside







Front





Rear





Side



Engine



Skip



Jobs left to do

Re-fill gearbox with oil
Re-fill diff with oil
Service engine
Finish bleeding brakes
Fit nsf door card
Centre steering rack
Fit 4 new tyres
Get tracking done
Change power steering fluid and hoses

Nothing for the above has been purchased yet and cant be till I get paid now

Then i'll give it a shake down to see what falls off

 

Is it finished yet????

 

Cheers for asking, its 99.99999% done now

Took it for its first drive today after fixing the cam problem I found when doing the service, got to take some new pics, but it was so much fun and chatter chatter chatter all the way

Only problem I had today was alternator is not charging so hopefully I sort that out in the morning, get the tracking done and hopefully SEC's will be over to sort out the rev counter

The local Chav's had better watch out now

 

Love this spot on mate

 

Love it ,let the fun begin

 

A real stealth car!

 

Proper sleeper, and mint too!

Wicked job

 

pure filth love it
