Looks very good actually I reckon. Tho I think if the 2 litre engine has any go in it, keeping the stock looks would be really nice.
Yes I own one Cossie looker Sierra too but lately I have been feeling kinda bored of it.

That's good progress with engine mate! Ul need to run a good 2litre carb like a Dgav or 3 litre dgas as the 16 pinto carbs are useless. I've a set of twin 40 webbers here on pinto manifold would make a job of her!

wee update
engine in an runnin
but as the car had non ford front springs in the rear it was to bouncy
so had to buy proper lowering springs
these popped up at good money
As i had to get a custom exhaust made cause i changed engine from 1.6 till 2ltr the manifold back is all different, but was no good as it was blowing out an pipes joined
this popped up from a lad who has helped me build this sierra. s had to get it bought
full ashely s/s exhaust an manifold
so that'll be fitted asap an kit sprayed an fitted
