My Dad just sent me some photos he's found of my first car so thought it'd be a fun topic idea for the forums.
So, show us the first car you owned (not drove - no no mum and dads car etc) and tell us a bit about it.
I'll start:-
1987 Ford Sierra 2.0i Ghia Auto, converted to manual, 2.1 conversion with high torque cam. Bought when I got my first job at 19 (1997) and modded over the years to pretty much what is show in the pics. I retrimmed the rear seats myself to match the front. I did eventually find a nice set of black leather Cosworth door cards.
As with all Fords, it was mechanically sound but the sills and bulk head ended up with more holes in them than a collander and it rotted from the inside out. So it was eventually scrapped:-
But not before it had donated its parts to this:-
So, 19 years on, I in effect still have and drive my first car!
If anyone is interest in the westfield build, the website for the build log has long since dissapeared but some of it is still viewable on the internet time machine - https://web.archive.org/web/20140731184523/http://web.bethere.co.uk/amigafan2003/
