Was posted in the Ford section but was advised to move in to here so......

Here's my Cossie, these pictures were taken towards the end of 2010 which was the last time it was on the road as it's been given another engine.

The last engine produced a respectful 441bhp & 450Ib/ft covering a mere 3100miles before it was removed for a stronger engine to take it's place with the end results hopefully around the 500bhp mark and similar torque.

Looks brilliant! I remember a friend's father had a 1.6 sierra and I find it highly amusing that there is a sierra with 8x the power! Are these not incredibly lairy to drive?!!!

Thanks for all the comments - i will put some more pictures up soon of the engine etc but this little pile is some of the add on bit's to be fitted (i make the rules in my house as you can see lol)









This was a dummy fit of the top end

Can be, i find it goes forwards faster than sideways.

The car used to be fitted with only the front strut brace and it was good on the road but when i fitted the rear thats when the car became a little more lairy due to the fact the shells twist on these as they are basically a big jelly mould so now it's got support it kicks out the rear.

Love hate thing with the mirrors, i prefer them as the original are too bulky and they are reps of the touring car mirrors
