Brummy beat me to noticing the "ring" sticker on the bootlid :(
shame it's not an original 3-door, but looks good anyway.

Been slightly fettled? That's not a standard cossie by any means ;)

Hope you enjoy it, and keep us all informed with any progress

the wheel in pic 5 just looks funny in pic due to them rims being 18's and the arches curve right in at the rear of the arch lol, it hasnt been on the ring it was his other flint grey cosworth but he swapped boot lids for me as his one had a slight scratch on it and i wanted it without a scratch so i took his track day boot lid which was mint lol
yeah it is slightly tunned im having it all checked out by engine advantages including a full set up and tune with massive service on everything it should be around 348bhp i have5 roliling road printout they are 349,348,348,347,349bhp
it is also a rwd so should get power down well lol

yeah th bonnet is 4x4 needed for the vents due to the engine mods and the huge heat is soaks up, but all bumpers and wipers are all correct th bumpers are same through out and the wipers are on th lux models ie the ones with 4 electric windows, sun roof, heated front and rear screen, electric mirrors,

Not a big fan of Sapphire Sierra's (i'm more of a RS500 boy) but I fully appreciate where you are coming from purchasing one..... I bet you'll have lots of fun with that. RWD is where its at ;)

absolutely stunning, my dad used to have a stage 1 2wd saph in magneta and then sold it for a 4x4 smokestone blue saph, with stage 1 treatment,
i was only around 11 or 12 when he had them but god there were fast and all my mates at school thought my dad was well cool!!!!

Loving the new car. Always had a soft spot for the much respected Sierra Cosworth. Although i dont think i could go old school now.

i wouldve been tempted to keep the lcr as a daily driver if you could afford it, thats not really a car you want to be using everyday.

Oh and get some leather conditioner in there

surely you need to bin the rear seats, as the access looks quite hard. You may as well then chuck in some buckets and harnesses, will save a lot of weight.
