mcrew Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 found this on oldskool ford forum TBH, 99% of most young drivers should be made to witness the after effects of a crash like this, especialy the human after effects, maybe then they would think twice before driving round in their ' plastic fantastic' modded shopping trolleys with ironing boards for rear spoilers, like immortal idiots. On a lighter note, at least there is a salvagable rear light cluster off the MK5, so its not a 100% loss.......

mcrew Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Looks the job mate. If I was you though, I would get some huge great big plates to bolt all the doors together with, that may stop the old girl bending as bad as the first one ( though seeeing that its a sierra, thats doubtful, coke can on wheels springs to mind). When I used to race sierras I used to nut and bolt as much as possible to try and stop them falling to bits. Depending on what the rules state , I would use atleast a minimum of 4 bonnet bolts, with BIG plates, and if your allowed, crush tubes on as many as you can get away with. I always used to cut the spare wheelwell out as well, that way when you get hit in the rear, the floor still drops, but hopefully shouldnt drag on the floor slowing you down. Always used to use a big pair of corner plates for the bonnet, cut from thick chequer plate, always used to weld these on( full length where they touch the wing and as much of the scuttle panel/windscreen lip) as that added a bit more stength and stopped the bonnet from coming back and slapping me in the face, bolted corner plates always seemed to rip throught the tissue thick front wings. When the cars wrecked, just chiesel through the windscreen part and you can literaly wrench the wing bit off ( the wings ARE that soft) then they are ready to weld straight onto the next one. anothet tip for this, is to get some 30mm holes drilled/gassed in the corner plates, over the part where they sit on the wing. when you fit them, spot weld the wing through these holes and it should prevent the plates from ripping off as easily. I always used to rummage round the yard, and collect bonnet stays ( log thin round bits off bar) off other cars, then use these to bridge the door gap around the drivers door, then seam weld them in solid. If your realy keen, then get some thicker plate and weld this over the top for good measure, remember " Driver safety is the most important thing" Oh, and dont forget to have loads of fun!
