1984 Ford Sierra L review from UK and Ireland
"Great cars"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear brake pads at 3000 miles.
Two sets of tyres.
General comments?
It started life as a 1.6L, 3 door Sierra and looked the same as all the others. So I changed it a little, by adding a set of 16" wheels, fitting ABS, central locking, power steering, 2.0 fuel injection engine, gearbox and loom.
Then I changed the front end to the later model with the indcators in the wings. Found side skirts and a front skirt in a breakers yard and fitted them.
Painted it black, I also added Ghia seats that I had modified to make them flip forward. With a few more extras, the car set me back about £800, but it looks one of a kind and I enjoy driving it when I get the chance.
It always starts first time.
