Hey Guys,
I would like to introduce myself and my Sierra.
First of all, i was born on 20.07.1994, my mother and my grandpa owned a Sierra already, my mother the LX 2.0 1988 5 doors Hatchback and my grandpa the 1991 Ford Sierra CLX 1.6 Sedan.
So, until i can think back, i loved this two cars. But we had to sell the Hatchback 1988 model, cause the tax was to high, while the Euro comes. So just the Sedan from my Grandpa was left. It stand already 10 years in our garage without starting. My mother thinked about to buy a 1999 Ford Mondeo, but my grandpa stopped her from buying this car, by gifting the Sierra to us. So we had a Sierra again.
It was daily used from this day, we just need to replace the manifold, exhaust and oil, so it became "Tüv" and was streetlegal again.
5 years later my grandpa died. 6 hours before he died, i brought him food, cause i took care of my grandpa
he told me, all his things, will be mine, and he sayed, the car is now to your's and to your mother. I dont get it what he mean, a friend came to me, normal day.. Until we came in, and i saw my grandpa already dead lying on bed. It was one of the hardest days in my whole life.
2009, so 4 years later we bought a 1999 Ford Focus estate, silver, called "futura" class.
The Sierra was almost gone, skirts was already fixed one time, and the car was almost gone.. I thinked back, what my grandpa sayed, so my mother can't use it, so i've took it. it stand almost for 3 years on our property, (2009-2012). 2012 i started to rebuild the sierra, and it looked like this:
Ugly. But i took care, cause i loved my grandpa, and that car is the best thing, he left to me. So i tryed polishing and fixing it, first results looked like that:
And more attempts came:
Until i was done:
While i polished, i fixed the interrior, and it looked like that:
And last but not least, i took care of the engine:
Changed some parts like tires, wishbones, and small stuff. Now it got street legal again, (second time) and i got Tüv for it.
But aim waiting on my project Sierra, that i've bought for 115 Euro:
So i hope, you like my Story about my Sierra
greetings from Germany!
Some Bonus of me and the Sierra when i was 3 Years old:
