Sierra's rust by themselves, can't prevent it xD

What year? Our '02 has been babied its entire life(minus a few burnouts) but they all rust on the back lower cab corners. Water somehow sneaks in between the dual metal layers. This is due to the lower standards for truck crash test ratings. They use shotty welds and cheaper metals.

You messed up with German Ford Sierra "Sportscar" and American GMC Sierra Truck, I assume Tongue

EDIT: looking at getting a set of these for coop, they are knockoffs of the JCW GP rims 18" and weigh 20lbs(9kg) lighter than my current rims

Oh yeah it's Merkury on America where they made them, original ones are Ford's and if you see one in America, it's ordered from EU Tongue

I believe it was actually designed and built by Karmann Coachworks which is known for the Ghia the Beetle Convertible, the Golf/Rabbit Convertible, and many other vehicles.

It was built by Karmann in Germany, yes. The original Sierra, which the Merkur is based upon, was designed by Uwe Bahnsen, Robert Lutz and Patrick le Quément if Wikipedia is to trust. Wink

None of those worked for Karmann though.

EDIT: Also here's a quick photoshop of my car, was bored so I planned on what I'm gonna do to it.
The rear isn't going to be that low and the rear wheel won't be like that, but I cba to fix it.

Blade3562 · 2012-03-11, 20:20
