Default This is my next project...

Some of you guys may think I am crazy, I guess I am...

I found this car on the street in the middle of some suburbs in Alicante, Spain, so I decided to find out who was the owner of the car and buy the car from him. Tha car is in a terrible shape, it has some sticker imitating wood in the dash, seats of a non-cosworth sierra, the engine bay looks terribly awful and it needs a real good paintjob, but it's okay, is a Cosworth and Cosworths deserve this and even more...

So here you guys have some pics of the car:



















Sorry about the pictures, thay dont have very good quality, but I tell you guys that is better that way...

Hope you guys like it

Cheers!!

(Sorry about my english... )

Only a bit of cleaning? I have more work on that car than in any of the other 10 cars my dad has... But its ok, i would do all that work very pleased...

Good find, altho it does look in a poor state im sure the shell will be in very good condition compared to ones of the same age in the UK.

Bailey1, PM sent

Andycosworth, it runs, roughly but it runs

As I could see thae shell has no rust, but I will have to take everything apart and look a little more deep in floor pans etc, but that shell has no crashes at all and it look not too bad for a car that has been treated like crap last 20 years...
