> 1992 Ford Sierra GT
The GT was the second car I bought, back in January 2005. I
fount the car on a dutch Ford website called
ford-world.nl and it looked quite
good. I contacted the guy who was selling it, who luckily spoke English, and
so we went off to get the car from Holland! Suprisingly enough, my brother
Martyn also bought a Sierra from more or less the same area, so we both went
up to get our cars at the same time! The car passed the test no problem, and
I got all the paperwork sorted just fine, but not long after I had the car
the sodding head gasket blew! So we had to take the engine apart to fit a
new one, and while we were at it we fitted a new timing chain and stuff as
well.
I was certainly happy with the car and slowly, as and when I had the money, I
modified it with the help of my brother. It was certianly quick enough for
what it was, and it didn't look bad either once it was sitting on a nice set
of alloy wheels! In April 2005 I even went on holiday to English with Hitomi
in it, and it managed just fine. Having said that, I was more happy with
myself though, driving all that way without any major problems, hehe.As time
went on the car steadily improved, but then I started having electrical
problems, with the battery going flat if I left the car standing still for a while,
which was a pain in the ass ...
Then in November 2005 I was offered the XR4i for a good price, so I decided
to change cars. Even though the XR4i was 2 years older then the GT, it was
virtually rust free and also it was the 2 door coupé version, which looks
alot nicer too. When I got the XR4i we then transferred all the good parts
from the GT onto the XR4i, and now the GT is up for sale! Anyway, check out
the various photos and videos of the GT by clicking on a link below! Enjoy!
