Reuhkapelti Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) I took the body of a Sierra XR4i and converted it to 4 door sedan. Under the hood lies a scratch built Cosworth 16 valve engine. 4wd bits and pieces are there also. This was built many years ago, and I don't have any pictures of the chassis now. Maybe later. The windshield and the seats are original, pretty much everything else has been modified more or less. The bumbers and side skirts are scratch built, as all the lights too. And the engine and the turbo etc. Edited January 8, 2018 by Reuhkapelti
maltsr Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Nice conversion, this was called a Sierra Sapphire in the UK.
spencer1984 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Nicely done! Without knowing what it started as you'd never know it was a conversion
Cpt Tuttle Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Wait, was this built from a Tamiya XR4i? Impressive conversion to a Mk2 Cosworth then!
Reuhkapelti Posted January 9, 2018 Author Posted January 9, 2018 Thanks! Tamiya Sierra XR4i was the kit I used for this. Lots of cutting and glueing was needed. The whole body behind the doors is built from Evergreen plastic and some putty ofcourse.
Phildaupho Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Very well done conversion into one of the great cars of the 1980's
