Story of a Mk1 Sierra

[lisbon_road]

The sound deadening is here a D can wait until we find some way to get it to you. I sold it to someone in Northern Ireland who put it up for sale immediately, which is up to him of course.

Great to hear the car is back on here, albeit indirectly. 

Just one thing though Arthur, can you PLEASE STOP SHOUTING? 😉

[ARTHUR 77]

sorry lol

[lisbon_road]

It was for sale for a few months.  I had it for sale for a lot longer, but I had more interest this year than ever before.

Arthur wants the sound deadening for the bonnet which is here in Southampton.  The prices I get for delivery are just too high.  If anyone has any ideas how to get it to him, that'd be good, but probably easier as lockdown eases.  I did try and fit it but couldn't get it on.  I didn't try very hard.

Thats okay but it will be cheaper to buy one hear, looking so hears hoping. Just got all the badges for the tail gate they are expensive so hopefully get them on tonight. Changed the stearing wheel to the mk2 as i don't like the mk1 have a few other wee bites coming so hopefully by next week will have it 95% finished 

[lisbon_road]

Good to hear that you are patient and sorting out details.  I reckon it is a bit more than 95% already though. 

[ARTHUR 77]

It is for some people,but they say i am fussy. lol . I have another newer  ford which i have been working on for 18 months its only 85% there so work in progress. I have an old cherished number plate on the sierra  for northern ireland so looks period for here. Just looking to get as much of it looking all original as i can 

[ARTHUR 77]

i am well impressed with the engine and gearbox conversion 

[lisbon_road]

It isn't difficult.  Fits straight in.  I didn't clean the engine that much so that might be a job you want to do.  You should be impressed with stuff like the nearly new Ford Radiator though.  It had a brand new alternator just before I sold it too  as it was running at too high a voltage.

[ARTHUR 77]

Yes i notice the new alternator.Did you ever find the chassic plate or even a photo of the codes. 

[ARTHUR 77]

just got all the badges on the tail gate so another job done

[lisbon_road]

I haven't had a chance to look.  But I might be able to find a photo. 

Be good to see a picture of the car with the badges now too.

[ARTHUR 77]

That would be great,Thanks.Will get a few photos at the weekend, will have a bit more done by then,hopefully
