sierra hatch resto
dont expect many people to be bothered as it hasnt got an rs or st badbe but thought id put some pics up any way. brought this in april for £400 with 9 months ticket. its got some teething problems but hey its 20 years old and they can be sorted. body look battle scared but its solid and theres no rust. good base for some tidying and modding.

looks a tidy motor mate, weld the diff up and get sliding ;)
|
that was the whole idea behind buying it lol
|
looks tidy, id put some escort cossie rims on it too;-)
|

Keep the updates coming :king:
There are hardly any 5 doors left on the road now :shocked: |
Looks a lovely base. I think my 5 door is one of the most rotten. Keep the updates comin, good luck :grin:
|
yeah i noticed every one favours the saff. my dad has a saff so thought id hunt down a project 5 door that isnt a xr4x4. was gonna get some banded steels eventually. but been offered some 16in momo with good tires for £40 so they should do for time bein just gloss black them.
just got wait for my hand to heal up and get my dad to get my spring compressors out the garage. |

coming on well
|
I hope you arnt putting side skirts on it imo it will look mint without any.The car will look cool when its done.
|
wasnt decided on side skirts. i think skirts only suit the cosworth bumper.
i also have a spoiler to go on but dont know bout that either yet. deffo going all amber lights tho :) |

dont go amber, its the wrong year for amber lights and then you will have holes to weld up behind the number plate panel
hatchbacks i think always look better than safs, my old hatchback http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...Image002-1.jpg |

they are rouse skirts, but genuine ones, no one makes them im afraid :(
|
are cossie ones that only give decent o.e look.
|
yeah, but you would need the cossie front end aswell
only reason i went rouse kit is becuase i had two sets of skidekirts and they look betteron hatch than safs lol |
dont want to go cos bumper. be done to death. i have the rs appron to go on but think it might need skirts to go with it?
|
yeah you will, be the cossie sideskirts dont look right with the rs optional kit, you would also need the rear bumper extenstion to finish the car off else it will look odd
