Ruin my Cossie?
I've got the sudden temptation to piss the purists off and have a laugh at the same time. My saph cos is solid whereas never been welded etc but the bodywork is shot, dents all over and painted badly in citrine yellow meaning it needs a bare metal respray. Also needs 2 doors
And a bootlid and some other bits doing. I'll prob never be able to afford this so I've been thinking of another plan. I been thinking about making it look like a standard Sierra with 1.6 badge on boot and all sorts. I've even been toying with it lowered on some 15" steel wheels to make it look even more shit. Probably surprise a few people off the traffic lights and would be something different. Just a thought but not sure if I could do it lol

I'm quite liking the sound of it being citrine yellow, any pics fella? I remember that was one of the 'in' colours to paint your modded ride back when I was a teenager and used to go to car cruises...!

An ex had a citrine S1 kitted 3i. Couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding, but looked cool! Proper 90's colour, looks really good on the saff!!
Like the sound of your idea, worked ok for wennys mk3, don't see why it can't work for yours!?
Enjoy it like that, can always save up to get it fixed up in the future.......

Problem is, if you sell it, what would you get for it?! Always a limited market for a non standard colour car, plus, if it needs bits doing....
Won't cost much to de/re badge it and sling a set of steels on it.

Nothing to loose by giving it the standard look! At the end of the day, it's your car, you piss the purists off even more if you broke it... And it's not like your fitting a stupid Halfords twatty body kit!!

GOING to be completely honest here....
I fucking love that colour on there!!!!
Imop leave it the fcuk alone, MAYBE try Glossing the wheels black, darken the trims too match...angry wasp it
If its genuine cossie don't rat look it, so so bored of the same old style wheel, on the same old car, in the same old body colours just because its the done trend.
That colour is a ford colour, so deserves to be shown an worn on any ford it fits..sorry to the purists but we do have plenty of pure ones AND alot of clones, this is a refreshing change.
You could look at sorting the shabby bits, maybe look at getting a pearl laquer over the citrine to make it pop into this decade, like a lambo does or combat CAMO graphics over the yellow using that colour as the back drop...

Looks ok to me apart from the wank Rs badge in the grille, just run it as is until you can afford to sort it in a few years or so, it's only going to appreciate in value.
You'd soon get tired of it looking shit and thin steelies would be more dangerous than funny and you may end up stacking it

Happily retired
Agree 100%.
Don't blow your life for an old Ford seen that a few times on here. Ive always said on here Build your life & then your car. I was 51 when I stated messing with these old bangers. By that stage I had built a great life for my family.

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
If paint is as bad as u say, I would buy doors this month then each month after save £100 and then by show time next year will have enough to get it wrapped. Doors and bootlid can be any colour under the wrap.

Why on earth would you want to drive around in a car that looks totally shit? Yes, a sleeper is funny, but how often are you going to be burning people off the lights? Very rarely in all honesty. The rest of the time you're just stuck driving round in a car that looks shit. Just don't see the appeal.
Save up and have it fixed or, if you're struggling for money like it sounds, do what others have said, sell it and spend the money on your family. Cars are just that, cars. Family is more important.
