MY NEW SIERRA RS COSWORTH 4X4. More pics page 2
Hi, I bought this yesterday off Robbie Frank from the Swindon group.Cheers Robbie for driving all the way from Swindon area to me in Wrexham, North Wales
Right car is a 1991 H plate in Stunning Moonstone Blue. It has covered 96,000 miles & is backed with FSH.
It is running a Stage1 & has an induction kit, dump valve.Oil breather & strut brace. Nice 4inch Mongoose exhaust system. It is sitting on Konis & uprated lowering springs, which im gonna have to change, as tyres are catching the arches
Wheels are 17 inch Azev A`s which are in MINT condition & are wrapped in 215/40/17 Toyo rubber. Leather interior is also MINT, with no real signs of wear
Car is already booked in with my m8 this week, for a cambelt & tensioner change. Expansion Bottle too, as is discoloured & some gaskets & seals to be changed as it has a very tiny oil leak. Apart from that, this car is really clean
. I have managed to get a set of STD springs for her ( cheers Colin ). Well here are some pics, not cleaned it yet soHope you like
Steve

UPDATE 
Stripped inlet manifold & gasket was leaking. Also oil pressure switch was leaking so replaced. Completely stripped inlet maniford as my mate is taking it to work & put it through the mecwash system they use This cleans it up brilliantly & will look like new
He has changed some other seals also, whilst it is stripped down.
Also noticed a slight leak off the rocker cover gasket, so will have to order a new one tomorrow
Removed the intercooler so he could get at bottom pulley, as im having all the belts replaced, inc tensioner on cambelt.
Now that rocker cover is coming off im now after a re-furbished rocker cover.
Does anyone on here have one for sale or know of anybody who supplies them, as i want to get one next week

Uncommon i suppose to have some niggles
what Cowsorth doesnt.Body work is straight & original panels & engine is strong & has had some re-build work
Spend a few hundred quid now and get it sorted & looking good under the bonnet. Want to put it all back to std underthere, but will leave strut brace

Had a chance of a red one with a Ron Harris engine, but car had a rew faults which i wanted checking. Owner seen his arse & wouldnt let me, so never had it Then tried to buy OFE 800V a well known Yellow Mk2, offered him full asking but he sold it for more on e-bay
Couldn`t find nothing & was getting fed up, so fancied another Saph, HENCE
