Re: Another Project and istn FWD this time 4 Door RWD

Re: Another Project and istn FWD this time 4 Door RWD

Best thing if he does put this in the hedge, he can always drop the bits out of the sierra to any of the four mk2 he has at his disposal

Re: Another Project and istn FWD this time 4 Door RWD

Managed to get the car ready for bro caron at car 66 had a shaky start just geting used to the car and the first selective being very slippery it was good fun second selective i was starting to get better and knowing what gear to use on the corners and trusting the tyres

but then last selective before petrol i was trying abit too hard in the fog and put it off on a 90 left slid down a little verge into a headge and were stuck ther so went otl but got out and went to have a watch

a quick pic from the night



so now to get it ready for bro teifi in april only needs a headlamp and bumper so not too bad and maybe a wing
