hi all, ive been dying to get a project going and at last i can thanks to my new job! i picked up a verry nice 1990 sierra sapphire 1.8lx with 11 month mot for £250!! witch i think was a real bargain, {} {} {} {} {} {} and yes the mileage is that low!!! plans are megasquirt engine manegment, 24v cosworth engine, holset hx35 or hx40 turbo,
Tidy looking Saff! And if thats Genuine milage (FSH / MOT proven) and not been round the clock I'd be tempted to sell it on to as standard to someone off the owners club / ebay for much profit and buy a cheaper one to project up! Mint Sierras are starting to make half good money in standard form. Good luck with your project plans
Looks pretty sweet dude... Dont be too sure John, ive seen some rotters with 12k on them, been left standing thats all and weathered alot.... Good luck with project...if you need any v6 parts i got quite alot..and have freinds with many many many parts also Coey
thanks guys, ive looked into the mileage and it had new clocks when it had a brand new engine, but it only coverd 60,000 before that, still not bad really
update hi, i spent most of the day yesterday messing around with the sierra and its now looking a bit more drifty! so i got the welder out and done the first thing any one should do {} {} and then i got to work doing some spring chopping and putting my new wheels on {} {} then next things i need to do is get a tow bar so i can tow my little box trailer around and pickup all the engine parts i need for the conversion.
dude i mite have a tow bar for you! need to speak to nick whos at silverstone today, i took mine off when we did my diff! its yours if we still have it!
high wycombe, ive checked with Nick and its at the workshop!! so its saved and its yours if you need it!
update time for an update at last, my plans for a v6 turbo have gone out the window as i have put a deposit down on a house, so running the sierra with that engine as a daily and paying a morgage would have been a bit expensive. so i now have a different engine, its a 2.0 16v and an mt75 box from a ford scorpio that has only cost me £50 with any other parts i want!!!! so couldent say no really. {} {} {} doin it old skool no flashy engine lifts hear! and yes the car is sat on gas bottles!!! new plans are still to run it on megasquirt but with some suzuki gsxr theottle boddies
heh awesum!!! i crashed mine... weak! so if u need any spares for yours, or want it whole for cheap?? let me know!
erm, not that far, High Wycombe... if its parts you need ill meet ya half way, if your interested in the car its about 4 hours at a sensible pace. with a trailer im unsure!!
