Is it worth turning a normal sierra like this and have to be a 3 Door lol http://www.revista-parabrisas.com.ar...ierra_1280.jpg into a sierra cossie (bodywise)

Personally i'd put a cossie engine and running gear in and leave the bodywork alone.

Nice sleeper

The pic is a mk2 5dr, so it can't be an XR4i as they only came in 8-lite 3dr body shells (AFAIK)

But why would you bother trying to turn a mk1 5dr into a Cossie? For the money involved, the time spent, and the end result looking like a 5dr Sierra with a body kit on it, might aswell just buy a 3dr Cos!

People baffle me.....

mate import tax in malta is a PROPER killer so what they have to do is engine conversions on smaller engine cars available over there

thats why some people do it

think he would have to pay something like 5k sterling in import tax to import a cossie or maybe more,,, sure ryan will confirm

thrush forget the pic, I just wanted to show a standard sierra, but surely I will need a 3 door. but I was thinking of changing the look to a cossie, not the engine, seeing as I am only 1, insurance, driving it everyday etc. maybe I can find a kit?!
