I didn't get any actual before (stock) shots, but here's what I've got right now:
Sorry, but I have the worst digital camera in existence. Hopefully you can still see what's going on.

When I first got my Sterling, I was looking for other owners/enthusiasts on Cardomain. I noticed that there were ZERO other Sterlings on all of Cardomain, so I've decided to fill in this void a bit.

Please sign my guestbook, and let me know what you think.

More pics are always on the way...

that is awesome! a manual sterling is a rare find too, with the SLi no less. i used to have a 89 SLi, with a new torque converter and a new A/C condenser. and it had all the plastic light covers!!! do you know that the steering wheel comes clean with a shot of the westley's whitewall cleaner? probably not the best thing for leather but boy it takes off all the black grime. and a real fine grade sandpaper will bring back the slick warn parts of the suede leather inserts. good luck with your sterling.

i just want to correct myself. Do not install crankcase breather filter! i just found out , (after driving for two months with a breather hose disconnected from the intake) that my fuel consumption increased significantly. And its bad for the engine too, the vapours from the valve cover must be vacuumed out!
