Hi,
I'm the new owner.
As you probably know Martin had issues with the paint on this car(understatement).!!
So its in having getting stripped and fully repainted.
Sitting at bodyshop waiting to be stripped-
Some bits I'm collecting-
Few sets of rims for it, just need some tyres-
New/old style tax disc-
I've Also got brandnew headlights(Cibie), Brandnew genuine rear lights, all side mouldings(rubbing strips), side/tailgate decals and most rubbers/seals.
The only thing I'm missing is the A post rubber strips which im working with East Kent Trim Supplies to produce.
Will post some more pics when I've been over to the bodyshop.
OP are East Kent Trim able too reproduce/design bespoke rubber mouldings then??
Id be VERY GREATFULL to know...
Many thanks in advance
I'm just waiting to pick my old A post rubbers and grille rubber up from the Bodyshop then I'm posting them to East Kent trim supplies for them to copy.
I'll keep people posted on it.
whats wrong with the paint work,it looks mint,after he had it repainted for the 2nd time
Martin has been abroad in it twice so the front was stone chipped inside of the bonnet has the bad paint on it that he had an issue with(looks like underseal with blisters in it) and the door/tailgate shuts are not to my standard. I want them as shiny as the outside of the car.
Martin built it to drive not show/sit in a garage.
Getting there Nick, whats the timeframe on having it done? I went to Martins today to pickup my tremec, fantastic bit of kit! hopefully wont be long now till mines being painted, have to keep us posted on its progress mate

Thx mate,
No time frame really, it's done when it's done.
I was at martins unit last Sunday and he was doing your Tremec then.
Will be nice seeing yours come together
Not much going on at the moment.
Glass is being removed Wednesday, headlining is at the trimmers, picking new Heated screen up tomorrow(only changing because it's coming out and it's got a few little chips in.
Had the tyres fitted to these rims yesterday ready for next year.
Tyres- Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric Sp's, 215/35/18 front 225/35/18 rear.
I think if a thieving scum fuck wants to try and steal an old Sierra he wont care if it has door locks or not, they just bend the door over enough to get there arm in or wire/coathanger/whatever and pull the door release catch.
Amazing car though, love the wheels and I honestly thought those pictures were of a model too!
Glass out today by Ultimate Window Screens of Daventry. He is very OCD so glass came out perfect.
Screen all prept to go back in but this screen isn't going back in. I've ordered two new ones. One is going in the other is spare.
The old screen will be up for sale in January/Febuary when the new screens arrive.
These screens are HEATED from Ricky Evans MotorSport.
Do you know if the arches and bodykit need to be modified to fit the 18' monte style wheels? Id love them on 3 doors but dont want to have scrubbing issues or have to cut up my arches/bodykit.

My bodykit is already trimmed slightly for the lower wider stance that my car has.
