hiya ppl's! finally got the space and money to make a start! but i'm struggling to find a sierra donor. i've been looking on the net and in the paper but i'm unable to find anything! can any 1 point me in the right direction? thanx

www.adtrader.co.uk always has loads of stuff but i confess i have never bought anything in it(i generaly use it to see what the market is like then wait for a buy it now on ebay) but it can sort by distance and price and stuff

I wrote off a K plate 1.8 GLX (CVH) today, 46K on the clock, still with its first owner, FULL ford service histiory, very shiney under the bonnet.

It needs a rear bumper and a tail lamp and a bit of paintwork. I may have a go at getting the salvage, just to prevent it getting crushed. Shame, it looks like a 2 year old car!

got mine off eBay for £40. Looked poo, but did the job.

Try your local car auction - particularly if they have a banger sale. Just remember the buyers premium on top of the purchase price.

We got the Sierra (Ghia 4x4 2.8i) off eBay for less than a tenner and the cortina (complete with tax and mot) from an old bloke jon met in a carpark for 100 quid.
It was fun towing the Sierra 35 miles on a rope with my 1.4 rover. Not.

its normally the other way around!!

You do realise that that that sierra was very rare!!!

An E-plate Mk1 is a reare beast!.. The MK2 was wholsesale introduced for teh D-mark... So that e-plater would eb worth money in the right circles!!!

TT

Hehe, the floor was creased and the sills rotten. Engine seemed ok though and the rear end will have a nice new home being assaulted with V8 torque.
I expected it to be the phase 2 shape based on it's age though.

That rover gave me little trouble. Only stopped working when the coil got wet but always sorted with a squirt of WD40.
I now drive a Ford

local add-mag, full of em this way, look in "breaking for spares" n offer em beer money for complete car.......

Best if a woman answers phone, she's usually seen enough of the car and says "come n bloody fetch it"

Keep your eyes peeled when you are out and about, you often see them on peoples drives, often they are happy for you to take them away

just wanna say thanx again for all your help just gotta keep looking. should imagine i will see some of u at the donnington show this weekend.

If you can cope with a long trip there's a free one:

Can't say cheaper than that! Pity it's 170 miles from you!

Cheers,

i keep my eyes peeled for for-sale signs in the windows, it's mad i never knew their were still so many sierra's around until i started looking so intently for them.
