Default Green Sapphire 2.0i DOHC

Hello mates! I would like introduce you to my pride & joy
Its '92 Sierra Sapphire 2.0i DOHC
Found it in garage where she was sitting around 6 or 7 years.
It belonged for some grandpa,and boy,he loved this car.
Its got service book,and he didn't spare money on her....last check is around 1000 euros she has around 160 000 kilometers....and its interesting that she was automatic and he later switched her to manual......wich is good for me
Here is picture when she came home....before washing I tought it was black o.O

Anyhow,roof and hood paint was a bit messed up so I put it in the mat black.
Then I made front grill,change wheels,steering wheel, radio(it was original ),
put woofer and cat back.....oh and hood pins.
Here is some pictures how it looks now:

I agree. it is very reliable,enough power(well never is enough hahaha) but for daily drive is alright. and if your gentle with foot you can even have acceptable fuel consumption

This was how it looked just three weeks ago. I protected arches and underbody from rust,and then painted bodykit. Oh yea,bodykit contains: front Cosworth bumper, RS side skirts and RS rear lip.
And then i got some wheels,15" I think they are from Capri,polished and repainted. To make long story short it looks like this now:

When i fitted a cone filter to my old dohc sierra. I cut the other black air box off then fitted a piece of pipe to it and bolted it to tue front panel and made the cone filter sit near the inner wing so it got as much cold air as possible.
