Reuhkapelti Posted January 8, 2018 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltsr Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Nice conversion, this was called a Sierra Sapphire in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer1984 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Nicely done! Without knowing what it started as you'd never know it was a conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Tuttle Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Wait, was this built from a Tamiya XR4i? Impressive conversion to a Mk2 Cosworth then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuhkapelti Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
