sierra gt

[Tonynos]

Certainly looks pretty solid with very little rust for an old Ford.

Just needs lowering by about a foot, loads of camber, bigger and meaner stance and wide wheels all around

stu after 22months after you request i have finally got started on the lowering.
mate up in stafford had some 2wd cosworth shocks and mentioned
if i knew anyone who needed a pair to which i said ill have them for my GT

so they are KONI top mount adjustable and will be getting a repaint tomorrow
as they will class with the alloys, be painted silver.
the escort cosworth red springs will be taken off the shocks that came with
damion and put on the KONI's.

putting all the hard work in now to preserve the life of the car considering not many
of these models of cars left.

as said to paul on the phone earlier as long as the shell is good on any car and you look
after it then everything else around it can be replaced.

`Kin `ell, Your sierra is so very solid Al!:eek: I Hope its going to be a real survivor and be around for aleast another 20 years.
I like the new paint booth, Your other half should be glad youv`e not used the bedroom yet for spraying in!:)

[Stuart]

Not that kind of spraying, anyway

[Bart]

rubbed down the KONI shocks ready for paint,
didnt want to do it outside as it was bit windy today
so got a strip of wood drilled 2 holes in it and hung the shocks
from the wood resting on 2 draws.



hopefully tomorrow get the new springs fitted onto them.

[Bart]

got my new shocks on the car today wahoo.
also fitted new anti roll bar bushes as they had started to perish so got that done as well.

before, crappy old shocks


new ones put on.



while working on the off side noticed that the ball joint casing has split
so going to have get one them soon.
once i got the car on the ground and moved it it has made no difference
to the ride hight of the car, no idea why but after driving the car home
the suspension is stiffer, more sharper turn and i have got more feel
through the steering wheel so all in all im quite happy.

Good work mate, the Sierra will last forever at this rate

quote off a mate to weld a new arch section in, he's going to do it

Good work mate, see fewer and fewer GTs these days.
