Default My New Sierra Sapphire.....

Just bought my second sierra, ive been a member on here for a while but only just really started using it. Ive had my Sapphire 1.8 GLX for just over a week now.

Heres A few pics, just had wash.....






And a few after i let my mate loose on it with his machine polisher








and a couple of reflection shots....


not bad for a 20 year old motor but its got a few small dents all round it, and a scabby door from a poor re-skin its had in the past but nothing that cant be sorted. im looking forward to putting alot more miles on it

Looks really really good condition for it's age, shows it doesn't need to be a cossie to be nice, I like the 2000 E's as well.
Polish seemed to make a real difference, I'll look out for you as I'm always in Norwich, just live down road in Attitude City(watton), I'm in a mercury grey sapph, I look like shrek apparently ha ha!!
Warmers in E. Dereham had 6 sierras in but got rid of all of them now, I know the scrappies on the A47 near Hockering have some sierras, and there is a unit next door that do banger racing so worth a call as they sling out all the interior and other bits from sierras etc, don't know what Hainford have got ?

just asked where you are from on my other thread lol should have read this first. Hainford havnt had a sierra for years, a couple of years back i needed a rotor arm drive thing (the bit that always breaks) and the only place in norfolk that sierras was a place in seething, i know a couple of the lads from SC Fabrication through my work, they do bangers and occasionally have some spares

that looks mint mate i love it. What polish did your mate use on it. The paint work looks gleaming. I would be tempted to colour code the bumpers and get some escos wheels and drop it on its arse.
