this is my wee sierra ive had for a while now
ive always been interested in sierras
i originally bought this car as a non runner got her cheap
i got her home and instead of fixing the engine i just swapped it
i only wanted her to wreck about in and vent my frustrations
then i decided i wanted to return her to the road and cozzy rep her just to be a nice wee sunday driver


will try and get photos up but dont know how yet
so far i have got a cosworth bumper from gary at rs classicsthanks gary
xr4x4 sideskirts from cossy09 thanks kieth
steering wheel from tjrs500thanks trevor
ive also gathered up a few other bits and pieces from buying and selling sierras, such as grey cloth front seats which are not in good shape
a cosworth spoiler and 4x4 rear diff courtesy of 155lee thanks lee
need a few other bits. what would you fine people have?
i need the remainder of the interior and whatever else i may need
any suggestions?

clyde 1800

i stole an alloy bellhousing off my dad but then realised it wouldnt work so changed back
im going to run the car as the twinky mated to a 1.8 flywheel and type 9 box then down to a 7 inch 4x4 cosworth rear diff that i got off lee in aberdeen thanks lee
basically putting the car together now as far as running gear wiring and brakes/fuel lines etcc

jim_robson

Why the type 9 box?

clyde 1800

i dont really know personal preference just
i like the look of them
there lighter
easier to work with etcc
is there any difference in the gearing?

jim_robson

MT75 is a much lighter box than a type 9, ive had 17 sierras with a mixture of mt75's and type 9's. Personally i think the mt75 is a much nicer and smoother box to use, type 9 has no reverse synchro either.

jim_robson

Any updates?

clyde 1800

to be honest the project has been sidelined as i bought a pinto turbo sapph that is already road legal so giving it a quick dicky up then il go back to the 2000e

clyde 1800

Ok time to restart this project I've got a wish list if anybody could help me out any reasonably priced items won't be refused
Cozzy steering wheel
4x4 bonnet
Coil overs
Full raven leather interior including dash trims door cards centre consol etc (would like the old shape dash)
4 inch rolled tip back box must be in good condition
Everything else I already have. I have a dark cloth interior which I no longer want
I have and am going to fit the 2.9v6 bob engine onto a type 9 box with a 3.9 diff.

I am prepared to buy the whole lot of these parts in one but from the dealers depending on the price. All parts must be posted to Northern Ireland as I'm in oz ATM I will pay via PayPal if it suits
My mechanic should have the car build for my arrival back home

About time you started this car. Its been over 2 years since you did anything to it.

clyde 1800

I know but sure that's all the better just means it's worth more now. Basically just need to screw it together. Watch closely
