My Sierra Cosworth....Smokestone Blue
Thought about time I shared....
So, story goes that 8 years ago I sold this same car, as we do to puchase a house
. Looked like this:
Loved those softspokes
November last year, I found it for sale. Had undergone a transformation in that time, some good, some bad but for reasons which I cant explain, I could sleep and when I could, was dreaming of the car. :saythat: NERD.
Was a heart over gut thing but purchased it back, unable to drive it because it had no breaks. Certainly wasnt the same car as when it left me, but thats 8 years for you and a few different owners with the intentions of using the car as opposed to the nice cosey blanket and garage space that I gave it. :approve:
Looked like this:
Had plenty of problems so far, likely to find a few more, but here she now stands. Have a cosworth plate to go on and a setup with NMS planned in a few weeks.
Dodged the rain today and managed to take these:
Front brake upgrade: 330's
Rear upgrades 300's
Scorpian currently on it but Mongoose tomorrow
Needing a better background but one before the rain came:
These are the first I have taken since its current standing.
Hope you enjoy!

Fair play to you though mate, it will be stunning again....

Thanks lads, seems like its been ages getting it anywhere near how I want it.... never ends does it
Cheers Kev - as I said via pm, I keep looking at yours as its my ideal cossie ...imo
So, got an exhaust change planned, scorpian to Mongoose,
Slight suspension change (coil overs on the rear are now leaking
)
Give the underside a waxoil treatment,
Engine setup - .....
AND ENJOY!!
Wheels wise, I can love them one minute, want to change them the next. Bought a set of softspokes but they wouldnt go over brakes.
Cheers again for the comments.
