At long last the calliper repair kit arived, this close to being finnished its utterly unbearable to just "wait" for parts to arive. even worse was the fact that if they didnt arive my car would be sealed in the garage for a period of time as my brother is making a new garden in front of it... thank god they did arive just in time! Got the front done - De-Rusted & painted - Calliper repair set - 45 mm K.A.W springs - Uprated K.A.W Shock Absorber and a little picture 8)  So at long last the Ford is free once again !  i guess christmas is comming twice this year for me xD |

Havent had a chance to enjoy a god drive and snap a couple of photos yet.. ive been busy sorting the last few details after i got her out again. last few things i need to get sorted before i can feel done with the work so far is a squeky sound from one of the front brakes which i only can hear when I'm not braking.. Also one side of the car is not level, i should have replaced the other rubber thing between the rear spring while i was there. but only one of them was broken... have to get that done too... Next is removal of the "Jydekrog" (tow bar) as its now to low to get the car "Aproved with constructive modifications" and also a new MOT to make it proper road legal again xD Started work on a set of these:  Got the set from a sierra being broken into parts due to a blown turbo.. Its definetly Ford seats, i just wish i knew from what model ! |

I think those seats could be from a Sierra Sapphire (sedan) 2000E or a later Ghia model... I am pretty sure they are from a Ford Sierra whatever the model... They look lovely!

If only i knew what a Rohloff was tallsam 8) Its the hub gear on your bike. My mistake though, it looks like a Shimano Alfine 8 speed or a Shimano Nexus. Both are great and not exactly cheap either. Basically, nice bike, maybe not the most attractive thing ever but looks super practical. |

Got the temperature sensor replaced, a simple job i wish i could have said went quick... Dropped the box with all the tools and the new sensor so ended up spending most of the time looking for that stuff in the engine bay and the surrounding grass xD
anyway now i can see the temperatur in the dashboard again, and hopefully the fans will engage when its too hot except of course if its a diffrent sensor that engages them?

good suspension height, and what was done with the seat? them new material? well i really only repainted the seats, not that its as easy done as said xD i got some special leather paint and some leather cleaner, so its really just a process of giving it a good clean, gently sand it and then give it a couple of coats of paint before they get greased up and dryed off. but it sure takes alot of time doing them, just finnished the rears so only a front seat and a tiny bit more before i can fit them ! I'm not sure about the black colour though, would really have liked brown but i just think that would have ended up looking weird 8( also i have to figure something out for the doorcards as the ones in the scrap car were in too bad a condition for me and my own have become a bit too loose in the fabric... |

My apologies, as I understand it, this paint?) in sierra black looks great, especially if it cosworth: well... its black, the only black colour the company that sold the stuff had, so its probably not the correct "cosworth black". ive read that some company`s does colour matching paint but then i would need a seat with near new colour intensity just to match it 8) |

Shortly after i got the car i got into a cleaning frenzy and gave the sierra a good clean, waxing and brought some life back into the trim and bumpers. During that process i also debadged it because i thought they looked horribly worn... I even took of the side decals because they were peeling and it looked really bad imao... In hindsigt it was really stupid not to take any pictures before i removed them... DOH !!!! I have however been looking for a new set ever since then, but without any luck... the closest ive come so far is finding the part number for the correct decals for the MK 1 Sierra. I do however not know if there is any diffrence between MK 1 / MK 2 decals Or if they still are available? The before mentioned decals as illustrated poorly on one of my grandparrents lovely old pictures:   This is the closest i have come to finding them again so far:  Its Decal No. 8 ( I think, not even sure about that...) found on this page: www.fordopedia.org/parts-catalog/sierra-mk1/A1.22I'm really hoping on getting hold on a set of these again some time, so any help at all regarding information about these decals would be greatly appreciated ! |

love your sierra gretings from sweden Thanks fellow scandinavian, u guys have some sweet sierras too xD Finally got the new seats finnished and fitted, just need to snap a few photos. But it was late last night before i got the job done... Typical me to misplace stuff needed for installing them... took me more than an hour to find the brackets and bolts i got from the scrap car xD also i made this little gizmo:  for those who can guess what that will end up doing  |

difficult to understand that it will be in the future) Well I'm not even sure i will end up using that, maybe il will make a version 3 of it.. its to relocate the idle control valve and make it posible to remove the air filter box to mount a cone filter directly on the intake. but i think i can do better  Anyways, a few pictures of the new seats:     Much hotter than the old ones in this summer heat  But comfort is great ! Never again though, they took forever to paint... |
