New Starting Block... - Drifting forum

Drift Mekanik · 25-06-2008, 21:15

I Picked this car up on Monday night. I bought it from a guy on here.. and the car ran a dream but looked exacly how you would expect a 20 year old Sierra would look......

Sierra GLS 2.0i PINTO 1988 (F) MOT, £200

Bargain for the price tho.....

Well after one evening of working on the body, dealing with rust and a missing and damaged door lock... then tonight a quick blow over of its future colour (ran out of paint) here we are so far......

Watch this space... being lowered at the weekend, diff welded next week and vynal ready by the end of next week... he he

please leave the "wwf" sicker on it

Drift Mekanik · 25-06-2008, 21:25

I am an animal lover... but thats a little excessive..... like saying...

Beware of wide ass Panda's.. may slide wide at any time..!!!

I will leave it there just for you!!!!!!!

Drift Mekanik · 25-06-2008, 21:29

Its frightening.. I have the original sales receipt... the car cost over £10k in 1988 and the bloke paid £160 for metalic paint.... and theres me.. 20 years on painting it Matt Black and stripping it to slide!!!

Stavros · 25-06-2008, 21:34

Pinto rather than twincam? Mint, much better IMO.

Good car to mess with

Crosshatch · 25-06-2008, 21:39

flog the spoiler,

Looks like a nice project

NORFY · 25-06-2008, 21:57

get rid of the spoiler for sure, take off the hub caps and slam it

Drift Mekanik · 25-06-2008, 22:03

Sorry guys.. I fitted the spoiler... I like it.. personal preference..

Getting the springs and diff done on Tuesday night. It will be stripped out in a few weeks but for now my other half is using it as a daily runner.. The 4x4 is off the road for a short while....

but, but

It does make it look like a boy racer attempt with the spoiler on in my opinion, would look better with out it

spin-king · 25-06-2008, 22:16

Quality project matey love it

Keep the LITTLE GAY WING and lower it to death if you keep the wing you need to spray wheels asilly bright colour

Dont mean to sound insultining but i am guessing its not your 10th drift car so make it look like your out there having fun rather than trying to be the next dori star.

NORFY · 25-06-2008, 22:18

all you need to go with that wing is a Maks Power sunstrip and some LED washer jets

Drift Mekanik · 25-06-2008, 22:21

Its my 3rd drift car.... The gay wing give the car character!!!!!

I have no plans to be a dori star.... and it will be lowered to death....

I have some nice wide deep alloys for it..... they are just stored away and needs new tyres.... having just bought the car, and getting it lowered and diff welded.. gotta think of money over good taste and lovely looks....

But I know what you all mean... Takes time to perfect these things!!!

more like it gives you something to hold when you`re bump starting it

Drift Mekanik · 25-06-2008, 22:27

NORFY · 25-06-2008, 22:31

the car`s pretty good apart from that one "drunken mistake" IMO, but do what you want and enjoy it!

islander · 25-06-2008, 22:32

lovely mate, spolier actually looks ok to me, each to their own ini lmao.
good luck with the lowering, i just finished mine and cutting them was a nightmare

Drift Mekanik · 25-06-2008, 22:41

Thats why I decided to pay someone to do it rather than do it myself.....!

The spoiler is for wanna be's on roller skates so that they can hold on!!!! lmao

NORFY · 25-06-2008, 22:46

ohhhhh....... its a spoiler, looks like a b&q cd rack 2 me

NORFY · 25-06-2008, 22:47

Corey_XR4I · 25-06-2008, 23:41
