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.

xgar rwds

Class wee car, thats good u got the 2litre sorted for her mate. I've loads of pinto bits here if u need any.

N.Saph

i actually got the engine off the fella, but think the throttle cable is different?
i need the top air filter housing an maybe a few more pieces

wee update the day
front bumper is away gettin fixed an sprayed along with the spoiler, grille an wee trim under the headlights

here's the progress the day, i've used the 2ltr block an head with the 1.6 throttle/butterfly/air filter housing

[


New engine


Engine in

xgar rwds

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!

N.Saph

much you take for that

N.Saph

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

Mk4 Lew

iTrader: (1)

it makes it look all the more real imo

N.Saph

N.Saph

JayCC

Looks good, not keen on the stickers though. Especially the rear window one.

mk22door

NIce one

N.Saph

yea plenty arent keen on them simply cause it kida makes me out to be a joyrider or some sort which i am not
so im hoping to lift 4 new tyres the day for her an get the cossie wheels on today
at the miute i've 2 17" wheels on the front an lattices on the rear as i bought them with 2 done tyres an 2 legal tyres

so if i d get the new tyres on i'll be takin all stickers off bar the sunstrip

or should i remove that to?

Mk4 Lew

iTrader: (1)

computer says get the stickers off

N.Saph

sunstrip included?

sunstrip i dont think is as bad as the rear 2
which will be takin off today as they do nothing for the car

R4N SS

iTrader: (6)

stickers look shit and how come the front bumper is peeling already?

N.Saph

my front brakes went shit an busted
busted a master brake cylinder due to some thick foreigner puttin wrong fluid in for my braes an ate all the seals in the calipers

front bumper being repainted next week along with the strip under the headlights as the wiper arm came lose an scored the strip

but all will be cleaned completely next week all being well the mechanic can get a chance
