Is that an aftermarket fuse box you've used there? The fuse box in my saph is in a terrible state and I've thought about rewiring it into an aftermarket one

The last picture is just a aluminium profile where I mounted the fuse/relays holders on from the new engine and fan loom and gauges.
Serious job rewiring the standard fuse box!

I remember this car from years ago before you had it. Amazing transformation!
You put a lot of time and money in it getting it back in shape. Best color for a Sapphire mate
Looks good on the ambers.
Great job, enjoy it mate.

I wanted to lower the car with an eibach prokit...
Dampers also needed to be changed so decided to buy a Gaz coilover kit that is build at this moment
While waiting need to do some more cleaning...

Great cleaning works/skills mate! In the end it's gonna look better and fresher than new.
And you finally can enjoy it and drive it again.

And the coilovers have arrived, can't wait to put them on!
For now going to put the standard top mounts back on because I can't decide yet wich top mounts I'm going to use. So gave them a good clean and new grease in the bearings.

Another top job mate. Looks smooth and clean again down there.
Can i ask where you got the Gaz coilovers from? It's a 2wd also, right?
About the engine works, hose failure and blowing the headgasket, damaging the head and melting some sensors and shit. Yep that's the reason.
But all good again.

I've got the Gaz coilovers from Gaz itself. It's also a 2wd
It can be build with the correct spring rates and damper valving depending for what the car is used for, road/race, full interior or stripped out, road tires or semi or full slick tires. (1078 incl verzending)Damn, you can keep spending money on these cossies. Glad you have sorted it!

Looking very good. I like the ride height. Are you happy with the GAZ product? Are they too stiff and or noisey? I ask as I bought some GAZ coil overs for my MK1 Cortina and the springs supplied were too stiff. Easy fixed however one strut is noisey and clunks and bangs until the oil warms up.
I've often wondered about fitting rear coil overs to a Sierra as all the loads pass through what is the shocker mount. I wonder if anyone has destroyed the bodywork at this location or punched through the sheetmetal???
