Hi there all . wanted to do a thread on here for ages and now ive finally got something worth writing about :-) . So got this about a month ago . shes not been on the road for many years and although there has been a lot of work done i still have plenty to do . the original plan was to have her ready for my holiday next month but this is looking less likely by the day at the moment .

That's a blast from the past. Don't see too many of these now. Looking forward to progress.

Looks like a fun project, hope you get it sorted  I've looked at a couple of kitcars over the years but never bought one yet...  |

Welcome to the forum.
That's a pretty good looking Sierra you've got there, good luck with getting it back on the road.

Those Duttons seem hard to kill. Should give you some fun. Multiple air horns for enhanced street-cred  |

Sad fact that the rear light bulb holders would probably fetch what the car cost you but well done for taking it on. I always thought they were Mk2 Escort based but your's has a Mk1 dash?

Good luck with the restoration fella. I had one year's ago... Lack of time and talent on my part meant it never made it back to the road   |

Hi all . Thanks for the comments. Progress has ground to a halt at the moment due to buying a house . But on the plus side I'll have a nice garage to work in so that should speed things up nicely :-)

hey everyone sorry there has been no updates sadly been busy fixing up my house instead of the dutton :-( . however think ive done enough on that to warrant getting the green machine going again .
I started to make a new list of things i need the main ones being
1 a new starter motor (well one that works anyway )
2 some wiper arms
3 four new tyres
.then I'm going to figure out setting up the throttle cable plus iron out a few electrical gremlins then i think i maybe just maybe nearing mot time .
will get some more pics up soon as well

That was ours, have photos of the build from picking the car up, it has not been on the road since 1996.
The engine is 1300 and fully reconditioned before we sold it on.
Also poly bushes, new brakes etc. Check out the front strut chassis towers for water.
Hope that helps.
