    Cambelt and service before trying to start. About time someone did this proper. Fair play 👍🏼🏆

      Has been started when I brought it and put it away, and when I picked it up on the truck and dropped it to have cam belt sorted that’s my limit 💪💪💪

      SALVAGE FLIPPERS minimal, that’s the only way for me. Untill you have replace with up to date parts you can’t be confident that 4K rpm won’t be the last thing it does with an old belt. Just nice to see someone taking the knowledgable approach 👍🏼 best of luck with it all, I’m watching 🏆

    Nice find, and good call on the cam belt! And when changing the belt, be sure to use the correct TDC mark, some times I have seen the ignition mark used and the valves can touch the pistons if the head has been decked couple of times. Its a common mistake to make.

    I do remember the moment my parents bought their first and only foreign-made imported car in 1995 which was a 1985 two-door Sierra hatchback. That was the only such a car in the area we lived in. The car was simply amazing with its lowered body design and round shapes. Despite its age and odometer reading (like 500 000+ km) it ran as fast as hell....I still recall that car.

    Just see this and subbed got a lot of knowledge on these if you need any help tips etc. Be careful of the rear arch liners they crumble like confetti. The rear shelf is 4x4 or the speakers are. I might have a skuttle I will have a look. I thought it was my friends car but on walk around see it is not he had a bit of damage yours has not got. I know he was thinking of selling. Looking forward to it being done the cam belt best to use gates on Ebay for £25 just change that water pump not running of the cambelt so safe. If your local s/London I have the correct tool for removing pulley or you can do it without if you know a trick and are carefull. Looking forward to the videos.

Same colour and he had fitted the vented bonnet from the 4x4 Sapphire Cosworth. Appreciate they made many in this colour but fact this hasn’t been used for long time, worth asking the question

    I love watching things being saved from going to scrap or landfill. Not just cars, but also electrical goods and computers, which can then be sold on eBay for a lot of money. New things are deliberately made to fail and become uneconomical (or impossible) to disassemble and repair, like new electric kettles for instance.

    Under the hood, on each side of the hoddlock you have 2 plates, 1 is silver to the left with the vin number, one the right one you can see the colorname and it should be flint grey.

    Is it mercury or flint can’t decide in the video? Will say the name on the colour tag next the the vin plate. Looks a good honest car underneath and under the bonnet 👍🏻
