Default My Gloss Black 1988 Sierra Cosworth small project.

Moved my thread to this project forum, since my car will be a small project along the way..

About the car, its a 1988 Sierra Cosworth in gloss black, in immaculate condition. No rust, and good paing, mint interior, proper stereo built in early 2000....

The rear window cover has been removed, along with the headlamp eyebrows. Has got freshly painted front and rear bumper.
Needs a proper detailing job on the exterior. '

Next on the list is fitting orange indicators and rear lights...

Finally fitted original rear lights in good condition, along with new side repeaters. Fitted a original grill insert, and a mint 2wd steering wheel. New rubbers on the clutch and brake pedal aswell. But missing the rubber on the throttle pedal if someone got one??

The car is not going through any big modfifications or other operations, all thats left is fitting new tyres, fog light surrounds and a proper detailing job..

That sounds really good. I have never heard og any other gloss black 2wd in norway, so know its a pretty rare car. Especially also with the rare 2wd leather interior..
