    Sold it to a guy in Canada. I didn't finish it, got sucked into my e30. Here are a couple pics. Not many people in the US are into 3 door Sierra cossies.i was building a replica out of a merkur xr4ti.

        I love the Cossies as well. They do seem to be a lot more popular outside the US.

        Good point on the adaptors. Especially 4 lug to 4 lug. The aluminum is what scares me a bit, but Im sure its fine.

                  I'm not sure, I guess I have more fun building them than owning them. I don't have any of my old project cars.

                        Yep sure did, they are just ABS plastic, easy to cut to shape on a table saw. Good luck with your car.

                          gotcha. i bought a couple sheets of ABS to make door panels and cover my sunroof hole. i'm gonna use the scraps to make delete plugs for the radio and side air vents. guess i need to buy or borrow a table saw.

                          what did you use to paint the cage and interior?

                              I used rustoliums professional series, painted with a detail gun. It's hard to fit a full size paint gun in a caged car.
