Nice work so far Nath, keep it up!

Good work

Ok, So the last post was about the changes to the rear end over the years - now onto the front end (Still covering bodywork - next post will be the grubby bits!)

As I bought her:


She stayed like this (with a change of numberplate and headlight wipers) for the next 4 years!
Until she came off the road for this restoration/conversion:


where the progress was made quickly
Cosworth front bumper (needs mounts)


Cosworth 4x4 Bonnet

Cosworth Grille
Cant Find a Pic of it - will get one next time im working on the car
And all Painted up......
This will have to wait till after its painted

Nice work so far! The paint looks nice and red, unlike mine!

shell b nice wen shes done get her fin lad! does a 1.8 diff all rit

1.8!

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Not been a 1.8 for over 3 years :p And Sierra ownership is not all about drifting

It saw off many chavs as a 1.8 - and twice as many as a 2.0 DOHC it was converted to

We will see what it will do as a cossie

nice one ladd! i seen a nice clean black one for sale lately its 1.6 on log put 2.0 pinto transplant!! is da pinto much more powerfull than dohc??

Pinto EFI is 115 BHP standard
DOHC EFI is 125 BHP Standard

so no - the pinto isnt much more powerful than a DOHC :p

Don't hold me to it, I just remember someone saying their's does 32 which isnt too bad for a 2litre I suppose!

it takes about 20euro to diff non stop 4 bout 45 mins

mpg has never been the strength of the car - on a run i could eak 40mpg if i was very easy on the throttle - the reality was 32mpg it usual motorway cruising speed - althoguht i did see 23mpg on average on a long run

however it has been as low as 6mpg around town

luvly da joys of 2.0 dohc!!! wonder wat a cossie is doin so

To be honest lad, if you can afford a cossie you can afford the fuel

true enough lad any type of serria motering aint cheap

rebuild goin well there, she will be nice as for the fuel i would think the twincam engines would be better on juice than the pintos, more modern set up etc. sierras not really cheap motorin but by jaysus they are worth every penny i would way prefer drive a shite sierra than a minty corsa or something

now u said it lad
