Hi Ade.
No the underside of the car seemed very clean, so it was just tidied up.

All rear suspension parts taken off, them bits were then blasted, powdercoated and poly bushed. Usual stuff really.

That's exactly it It's running just over 300 brake so it won't be slow. I want to sort the handling out, poly bush everything, decent suspension, you know - that kind of stuff. May even get Ahmed to work his magic in the rear beam

This car will be about looking amazing and going very well for what it is, a 26 year old Sierra. Oh , and piece of motorsport history

Congratulations Ade

I bought my 500 from Paul just over 3 years ago and it gives me great pleasure, there's something a little bit magical about them!

Few pics of mine:







I've found that a nice 20psi feels 'rewarding' after all that waiting

I hope yours proves to be as an enjoyable a project

Could be persuaded to try a T04Z maybe with a smaller exhaust housing
