FIRE! At last, it's home - rebuilding my Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4 Restoration Project
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2024
- THE PLAN! When I bought this Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth from Scotland, driving all of the way back to Cornwall, my plan was to carry out a modest and fairly swift restoration - I wanted a tidy example with a more standard look and nice, clean power. I intend to own this car for lots of years, meaning I could improve my Sierra over time… fair to say things have not gone to plan!
After nearly two years, the Sierra returns home and there’s lots of work still to do, including resolving the issues caused by a small FIRE! Watch as I start to restore the interior of the Sierra, but the clock is ticking as a new deadline has presented itself.
As always, let me know your thoughts, feedback and questions in the comments section and, to follow my restoration of the Cosworth and keep track of my other cars, please do subscribe… I appreciate it.

Hi Andy hope you are all keeping well! So pleased to hear the sierra has come home cannot believe it’s been nearly 12 months your collection video from Scotland seems like yesterday!
It’s been fantastic coming along on the journey and seeing all of the very hard work which has been done it will look and drive like or even better than new!
Well done on the headlining often a pig of a job and also the soldering of the new loom such a shame after everything for the loom to be damaged and the stereo is a great upgrade!
Can’t wait to see the next instalment and your son has made a great choice! All the best to you all Daniel
👍👍
It nearly fell off the ramp when you were loading it!!
Thanks for the comment.
Yeah, it was a little clippy loading the car as I did not have enough blocks of wood and the Sierra is low on the front… got it on okay though (looks worse in the video than it actually was) and, as you’ll have seen, I used more wood when at home.
Thanks for watching, I appreciate it.

I enjoy the videos. We've actually met before... I test drove a 123d you had... About 5-6 years ago
While I enjoy watching your videos of your old fast Ford’s. I feel the teaser style string along dialogue not unlike a newscast or advert with a “just wait” script detracts from your videos. More brevity would make a good video even more entertaining to watch.
Thanks for the comment and feedback, I appreciate it.
Good to know you are enjoying the videos and I will work on the feedback.
Thanks for staying tuned and following the restoration of my car.
Nice to see the Cosworth pasty moving on😊😊😊
Thanks for the comment and for following the restoration.
I'll get the videos out a bit quicker now that the car is at home so please do stay tuned.
Great to see the cossie back. Can't beat a classic ford!! Brilliant video as always 😊
Thanks for the comment Ian, it is great to know you enjoyed the video.
Videos on this car will be more frequent now that it's home.
Thanks for the support.
Great to see the Cosworth on the final stages to being finished 😎
Thanks for the comment John, and for following the restoration. 👍
Soldering looked fine... Couple of quids worth of heat shrink would've made the loom look as good as the rest of the car though...
Thanks for the comment and feedback on my solder!
Insulation take is a bit old fashioned, but it's doing the job.
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it.
Great to see the Cossie back 👏
Thanks for the comment, I hope you enjoyed the video.
More frequent videos now that I have the car back. 👍
No pressure then.Lol. Nice to speak to you at the Classic Ford Show. You have done well with the Cosworth.
Good to speak with you too. 👍
Thanks for watching the video and for the positive thoughts on the Sierra... nearly there!
My son really is busting to use it for his prom so it's late nights in the garage at this house.
@@cornishcarcollectors lucky boy .

Wow brilliant content,how fantastic being taken to your prom in such a fantastic car,if only back in the day, look forward to the next installment
Thank you for the comment and kind feedback on the video, it's appreciated.
Lots of late nights in the garage here to get it finished for his prom... I am confident we'll make it at the moment, but one or two setbacks and we've had it.
Thanks for watching and for following the Sierra's restoration.
Before fitting the dash bottom the sound proofing, carpet needs to go in and the centre console loosely or you'll not get in back over the handbrake.
Thank you for the comment and for the advice.
Please do stay tuned as I have another video coming very soon. 👍
The 2008 and optional cd player had fantastic sound.when my dad ordered his new granada scorpio saloon in 1990 he ordered leather upholstery and the cd player.the sound really did knock your socks off back then.the 1st time we had a cd player in a car.he then had cibie front spots fitted and the full rs body kit package fitted.what a awesome car that was.cosworth looks great,atleast you can solder,i cant lol 👍
Thanks for the comment and for sharing the story of your Dad’s Granada, which sounds a wonderful car. Nice memories. 👍
I appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Superb
Thanks Adrian; appreciate you following the restoration. 👍
Great video nice to see another cossie back on the road 👍 im quite sure the 4x4 cossie had a dual radio cassette and cd player 😀 👍
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate you following the restoration and for the positive feedback on the video.
Yeah, the 4x4 Cosworth came with the stereo and graphic equaliser or CD player (optional extra).
Look forward to hearing from you on the next few videos as I put this back on the road... hopefully for prom!
Been waiting to see this one
Thanks for the comment and for your patience. Should get the features on this car out a little more frequently now that it’s home.
I hope you enjoyed the video. 👍
Good effort on the soldering. One of your neighbours has recently retired from work, he was an electrical fitter in the yard. He has loads of spare time. He may be able to improve the soldering job if you give Mike B a shout
Thanks for the comment Mark, I may very well do that. 👍
Thanks for watching and following the Sierra.
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it.
Hello Andy
Been so looking forward to anotner cossie update and thanks for postng mate 👍
The car is coming along nicely and who would of tbought its been now a year + since you went to Scotland and time sure goes quick.
Unlike full restorations but ive always said this is the way to buy a cossie at entry level money and yes ok your gonna have to spend £20K + on resto work but its the way to go as ive seen £30K saffs needing work and money spent whereas the entry to restoration way you are gonna end up with a rock solid shell with everything else all new restored and rebuilt (in other words a mint rot free and mechanical perfect car)
The light is at the end of the tunnel now mate and the prom drive sure is gonna be special
Easy a £40K car when done and an investment for the future 👍
All the best mate for the next update

Thanks for the comment Nigel, I appreciate it and you sharing your thoughts on value.
I've enjoyed building the car as I want it and, as you say, to know that the car is solid both structurally and mechanically.
Thanks for continuing to watching - almost there now!
Hi Andy, I’m in the process of a full restoration on my 4x4 staff Cosworth, your videos are really helpful and informative. Can you help me with what and where you purchased the 6mm bulkhead insulation from as I need the same before I have my engine put back in. Cheers.
Thanks for the comment Ian; it is really great to know my videos are helping and good luck with your car.
I spoke with Steve at Sierras R Us who recommended rubberco.co.uk as a supplier for the bulkhead insulation. I think it is called Silent Coat Isolator 6 (large sheet). Worked well.
Thanks for watching and hope to hear from you again.
I thought a j reg Cossie 4x4 would come with the later wire spoke style wheels?
Thanks for the comment.
The pre-facelift J-reg Sierra Cosworth 4x4s had the 'lattice' wheels, with the later cars being fitted with the 'snowflake' wheels. The Lattice wheels are correct for my car.
Thanks for watching the video, please stay tuned as another video is coming soon.
you should have used shrink tube
Thanks for the comment and advice; I appreciate insulation tape is a bit 'old skool'.
Thanks for watching.
What’s that cool looking yellow car at the garage?? Never seen one of them before looks rare
