Thanks for the comment; great to hear from people who prefer the Lattice wheels over the Softlines… there are not many of us! 🤣 Thank you for watching.
Thank you for the comment, it is great to know seeing the Sierra brings back some good memories. Thanks for watching and look forward to hearing from you again on my other videos.
Thanks for the comment and I do agree, it is probably one of my favourite things about the build... nice to return it to a standard look inside. Thanks so much for watching.
Hi Andy well done to you both that is some job which you have done on the Cosworth it is looking absolutely stunning and I have enjoyed following the progress it will look sound and drive better than new Will be great for your lads prom! All the best to you all Daniel
Thanks for the comment. If you are looking for a 2.5 Turbo Mondeo then I may know of a good one that could be for sale (in Devon). Let me know / message me via Facebook and I'll put you in contact with the owner. Thanks for watching the video.
I can’t help but think you might have been just as well, seeing as the interior and lower dash was all out, in changing the heater matrix. But loving the build 👍🏻
Thanks for the comment and suggestion. Heater matrix is in good shape, but as you say it would probably have made sense to refresh it. Thanks for watching, it's good to know you are enjoying the build.
Thanks for the comment. It's been two years now and I'm keen to drive it at least a few times this summer but we'll see how I get on... this car has a habit of slowing progress! 😂 Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the comment. I am hoping it'll continue to be a Silver Dream Machine and not turn into a nightmare... time will tell! 😂 I appreciate you watching.
This is the first part i've watched of your restoration, as a 19yo that is into cars and now l3 qualified in mechanics, id love to restore and own my own sierra cosworth one day as it is one of my dream cars. Older cars just do it better. ill definitely be catching up with the previous episodes
Thank you for the comment and I appreciate you going back over to watch the progress with my car... it's been a proper challenge and I had not intended to go as far as I have! Good luck with buying and restoring a Sierra yourself in the future. I hope to hear from you on some of my other and future videos.
Beautiful car , its looking really nice the exhaust sounds nice and burbly it looks like it could do with some adjustment on the rear to make it sit closer to the rear bumper ?
Thanks for the comment, it is great to know you like the car and progress. 👍 As for the exhaust, I have had it adjusted up as far as it will go... I think the long-term plan will be to change it, but for now I'll live with it as I just want to drive the car! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the comment, I am enjoying the progress. The exhaust is on the list albeit I'll wait until the car is on the road and I have identified (and resolved) and snags. Thanks for watching.
@@cornishcarcollectors really looking forward to see the finished car. I’ve never seen the original Ford graphic equaliser working before, love the flashing lights takes be back to the older style hi fi’s. Would be great to see the Mondeo ST200 restored next to the Cosworth, two generations of sports family Fords 😎
Thanks for the kind comment, I appreciate it. He's some excited about the prom... let's just hope we get it finished and driving right for him. Thank you for watching.
Ha! Thanks for the comment. The seats are indeed a strange sight - I'll have them sorted over the next week or so, certainly ahead of the boy's prom! Thanks for watching.
Thanks so much for following the Sierra, I appreciate it. Still learning this RUclips thing, it's just nice to share the car/s with people are are interested.
Thanks for the comment, it is great to know you think the Sierra is turning out well. I cannot wait to see it finished too albeit I know I'll just start to restore another then... I am sure it's a medical condition! 😂 Thank you for watching.
Absolutely stunning looking car. Really is looking the part almost all fitted back together. Having seen all the progress from when you first brought the car, Look forward to seeing it all finished out on the road.
Thanks for the comment Pete, I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video. The Sierra is turning out fairly well. I've got mixed views on the paint but otherwise I'm chuffed with it. Be good to see the XR3i when it's done... see you at the shows.
@@cornishcarcollectors Always watching the videos mate , and always nice to catch up for a chat ,, Mixed views on the paint, why mate , ? The xr3i been a pain in my butt if I am honest problem after problems,, but I am on the home stretch now mate I hope 😁 Will catch up soon mate ,, if you need any help please ask , pete 👍
That's a great job both of you !! . Can't wait to see her fully on the road !! ,, oh, I'm down your way on my hols and just done the St Just - St Ives road,, my favourite 👍🏴😉
You need to fit the left hand dash pocket in while you can still get to the back of it as the clips are very difficult to get in The stereos can deteriate even when not in use my car had the CD option which worked perfectly when removed but now only gives poor sound when switched on for two hours Best of luck
Thanks for the comment and advice. One of the glove compartment clips is actually broken - I have a replacement so will it soon. Thanks for watching. 👍
Thanks for the comment, it is great to know you like the restoration. 👍 I will look to change the exhaust at some point in the future, albeit right now I am just focused on getting it on the road and using it during a few of the warmer months. The exhaust is likely to be a 2025 job. Thank you for watching.
Im in the market for a new car. I have 3 in mind but dont know which to choose! *2018 wrx sti *Focus Rs mk3 *VW Golf R mk7.5 Peoples thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Note: car will be used mainly weekends.
Thanks for the comment and enjoy car shopping, you've a nice list there! I own a Mk3 Focus RS so will bring bias to the conversation, so will refrain from answering (buy a Focus RS!). The Focus RS is likely to be Ford's final RS product so it is the end of an era, meaning if you do not own one now as a daily then you'll unlikely ever have one. Golf R is a great car albeit a little boring (sorry everyone), and as for the Subaru... very cool, but of course I'd still take the Focus! Good luck and thanks for watching the video on the Sierra.
Thanks for the comment and yes, I am happy to move the gauges on if you want them. Get in touch via Facebook or Instagram and we'll sort something out. Thank you for watching the video. 👍
get yourself some sharktooths, lattace alloys look stupid on a 4wd - they make late cars look dated aswell, look like a 2wd - wrong wheels in my mind, but each to their own - if youve git to budget youve got ti budget - lattace look wrong on that car it deserves better mate, sorry!
Thanks for the comment and for sharing your thoughts on the wheels. As you probably already know, the Lattice wheels are the correct wheels for an early '91 built Sapphire Cosworth 4x4 (pre-91 facelift car)... so my car should have the Lattice wheels and in the spirit of keeping it as OEM a look as possible, I have stuck with the Lattice wheels albeit I do agree the 'sharktooth' wheels look good. Thanks for watching. 👍
@@cornishcarcollectors i think its good people are now trying put them back as original and that seems the trend now - looked on how many left and says two or three thousand sorn stored somewhere - seems peopke dont want to drive them now so a trend i guess - dont know who will buy all these cars when everybody wants to sell them again - drive them and make the most of them while you can you know - working class ferrari
where i lived 30 years ago the was a very large chuck of land where we used to ride are dirt bikes and that was the last time i seen a Cosworth dumped in the trees striped like that but it had no wheels and doors i for got all about that till i seen yours ,,it was set on fire later that day shame to see a nice car gone
Thanks for the comment. Sounds like the car you are talking about went the way of so many Sierra Cosworths in the past. Certainly a shame. Thank you for watching.
I definitely prefer the lattice alloys!!!! So excited for this car!!!!!!
Thanks for the comment; great to hear from people who prefer the Lattice wheels over the Softlines… there are not many of us! 🤣
Thank you for watching.
Good to see progress on the car. Also love the exhaust note.
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate your feedback on the restoration (and exhaust).
Another video coming soon!
Getting there! Well done👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Cheers Allen, appreciate you watching.
Very good job a perfect restsuration
Always a joy seing your love for Fords
Keep the good job
I appreciate your comment, thank you and thanks also for following the restoration.
Looks fantastic, i had a sapphire exactly the same in the mid 90's, brings back some happy memories, and a wish that i still had it😊
Thank you for the comment, it is great to know seeing the Sierra brings back some good memories. Thanks for watching and look forward to hearing from you again on my other videos.
Oh that original stereo and graphic equaliser is a peach 👌🏻❤️

Thanks Daniel, appreciate the comment. 👍
Trying to find a 2.5 turbo Mondeo is proving difficult bud. Non related to this vid I'm sorry. But I'm in Cornwall
Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for watching the video.
Pleased to see it coming back to life. Absolute classic.
Thanks for following the restoration of the Sierra, I am hoping this car has no more surprises for me! 😂
I appreciate you taking the time to watch.

Well done, the wheels completely changed the rebuild status aesthetically. Paint looks slightly flat though, does it need to go back for a polish?
Thanks for the comment. As you say, the wheels have made it.
Paint is okay; there are a few bits still to do on it and a polish.
Thanks for watching.

It's coming along really well. Are you going to do anything with the exhaust? It sounds a bit like a canal boat at the moment!
Thanks for the comment, I am enjoying the progress.
The exhaust is on the list albeit I'll wait until the car is on the road and I have identified (and resolved) and snags.
Thanks for watching.
It needs a nice 4inch roll tip stainless fitting
Fantastic to see such wonderful progress.
Thank you for the comment. 👍
Nearly there man 🥳 end is in sight 😎
Thanks for the comment and for the support, I appreciate it. 👍
This Cosworth is coming along lovely what a stunning car, keep up the great work 😎
