So after I got some Fiat jobs done this morning, I set too on the Sierra again.
She now has a new exhaust from the manifold back.
4 new tyres on the steel winter wheels
XR4i bi plane on the back.
Then I had to go out on a Sierra road trip to pick up some more stuff.
Pictures to follow tomorrow.
But due to my indecisiveness, I have another set of wheels now fitted to the car.
(the 7 spokes will have some P Zero gravel tyres fitted to help it slide if I use it on a road rally)

Next jobs in no particular order.
Poly bush the TCA's and arb.
Decide what Dampers and springs to use or coilovers.
Buy or make some spot lamp mounts. I have 4 IPFs left over from another project so will go 2 up 2 down with them I think.
Fit my new rear bumper.
Get a Cosworth Rep front bumper.
Paint tailgate
Repair and repaint o/s front wing. (at the moment it has 'W124 wing tape')

Cool little Fiat - is it an Abarth version? I have a black Cinquecento SX (899cc model) which I removed the blown centre exhaust section on today in readiness for a new one, and also a Seicento Abarth.

Usual oil leaks and electrical gremlins but its good fun to drive. It only goes out now and again for 12 cars/road rallies, but it does its job ok. |

Focus coilovers fit these and are cheap. Just an option for you.

I'm half thinking about selling her, not enough to do a proper for sale post!
Being sensible, I am downsizing the fleet and will ultimately end up with 1 Shogun and 3 Alpinas and maybe the Fiat.
It has 12 months Mot, Loads of work done (head, cam belt, water pump, t/stat)
New front discs/pads exhaust.
XR4i Spoiler crudely fitted.
Would come with the 5 Cossie wheels with 5 new tyres. Also has a set of steel winter wheels with new tyres and a set of 7 spoke Ford Softlines.
I also have spent quite a bit of money on spares to keep for the future, will include everything I have for it.
Drop me a message if you want to give her a home.

How did you fit the spoiler?! Ive got the lower 2 of the 4 side bolts in, the top ones wont as the screen is too wide in a mk2. Then the 4 across the bottom. I didn't use the metal bolt on extender that goes underneath it. |

I didn't use the metal bolt on extender that goes underneath it. I was going to use tiger seal! I'm on the hunt for a mk1 boot, I'm sure it will fit. |
