sierra 2000e cosworth replica project
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?

bit of welding
once this is done then i can get the carpet and interior put back together
then i will change the roof cloth to the new one i got from gary at rs classics thanks gary
i have an old shape dash to put in all i need really to get now is a nice complete cloth recaro interior and a back bumper hard to find though

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.

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
