erm I'm not too sure what to say on this one without sounding like a complete tw@t, in my opinion it would be a much nicer car with that rat look bonnet gone, the dents in the wing which look like it was done from flaring the arches gone and a decent exhaust with an uncut bumper, this is just my opinion as personally rat look has been done to death, clean is the way forward just look at the russian green sapphire looks amazing  how is the flaming done? has it got a 500bhp motor with anti lag? or has it got a plug welded into the exhaust and the fuelling increased? in no way am i having a go towards the owner or his car hes obviously put work into to get how he wanted it, just not my cup of tea |

Really like a lot of the little touches to this. 2 tone paint, de-spoilered and wipered looks pretty damn cool and just generally like it.

I like it, any side profile photos?
I've not seen a 'currently' modified Sierra - only ones I seem to see are with huge whale tails and louvred sills fitted badly.

^ louvred sills? As for currently modified sierras try looking at copeys Harry the hack and sparksecm Sierra gt (I presume he still has it)

I like it. Eye-catching look for (I assume) not a huge amount of money.
(Also, how long has that skate park been there? Frogmoor, High Wycombe - I'd recognise those railway arches anywhere)

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

Have to agree with Fordperv on the bonnet, exhaust and dents.
DO LOVE the way it sits on those 7x13's though, don't think i've seen a Sierra with those size rims before, tyres don't look too stretched so are probably 195/45/13.
Anyone know what motor it's packing ?, i'm guessing it has a "flamer kit" in the exhaust ?

Surprised how good it looks on 13's 8's might work even better on the back.

I really like that Sierra, the guy who owns it is currently fitting a CA18DET to it. 13's are a brave move on a Sierra but IMO it works well. The want for another Sierra is strong |

Sierra - here we go again! He has an illness, it's not his fault.

good engine conversion, tried and tested on many other rwd fords including sierras, i bet it will be a laugh on the 13s as well, has he got any build threads anywhere so we can see what else he has done to it?
