              nice
              ..are the skirts a GT 'pack' or did you add them after the restoration?

                  The "GT" is nothing really special. It has the following specs:
                  ? 2.0 DOHC·8V (N9E), 85kW
                  ? 14" alloys, ABS, power windows, power roof, complete black interior and special blue seats

                  It had NO skirts at all, it was just a "naked" Sapphire. I added the Ford RS-Styling-Kit (front, rear-spoiler and skirts).
                  After the overturn in 1998, the car was completely smashed up, but really was not out of shape. I had to change almost every part of the bodywork as bonnet, doors, mudguards (fender?).

                  Sorry for my poor English, my last school lesson was in 1995. I try my best.... ;-)

                      Looks good but must have been a lot of work.

                      Your English is very good, I can't put two words of German together!

                          Looks good mate... I like the 'dish' on the rear wheels, very nice. What make/model are the wheels?
                          TBC.

                              First thank you all for your comments on the car! Its really nice to read
                              I didnt expect, that my English would be so good to read. But its still not easy to write and it takes quite a long time to write a posting (an article?) here.

                              As a standard fitting I forgot, the car was lowered by 25mm.
                              The restoration has been a lot of work in deed and it was quiet expensive because its hard to find parts here in germany. Most of the Sierra/Sapphire are already to find at the scrapyards
                              The most difficult job was, to get the RS-styling-kit. In Germany it is not available any more from Ford since 2000. But I found a dealer who still had it got in stock.

                              The wheels are "Borbet BS" front: 7,5Jx16" ET35, rear: 9Jx16" ET30. Tyres: front: 215/40 ZR16, rear: 225/40 ZR16 (Toyo Proxes T1S).
                              It was not necessary to change the bodywork in order to fit the wheels. The car is now lowered by 40mm front/rear.

                              I now wonder if you still think my English would be good
