I stripped my sierra at the weekend (pics on my website shortly) and just wanted to check before it's taken away that i haven't missed anything.

things I've just thought of (still on/in car) are chassis plates, number plates, service book, fuel tank sender.

list of what is off the car:

steering rack, column, wheel
front hubs, brakes, rear axle, prop
rear seatbelts, ecu, engine + ancil's, fusebox
gearbox, rear numberplate lamps, side repeaters
master cylinder, pedal box, handbrake, bonnet pull,
stalk switch gear and plugs (wires cut further down)
motorised aerial, interior mirror

Ummm, the kitchen sink maybe? You seem to have everything else.

get the front seats

not for the car but they make excellent pondering places for when you get stuck during the build

Tim

seats are manky and torn, don't have anywhere to put them for the mo. may invest in a fold up garden chair from homebase instead for pondering....

Ned,

Take all the door and boot / firewall / etc sealing trims. They are handy for covering sharp edges and, well, sealing panel joins where there is an opening panel. Keep the wheels unless you already have a nice set of alloys that you don't mind accidentally damaging during your build. Keep the soundproofing material, sections of flat carpet, plastic wheel arch inners (very useful for the rear arches on the Locost I'd have thought). Bulbs (if only as spares). Relay / fuse box and wiring loom. Rear numberplate lights (useful as interior / boot lights).

If you have the instrument panel unit I'd be interested in the temperature gauge module - I'm desperately looking for one that's cheap....

I'm sure there are a load of other items (eg, heater matrix and fan) you could keep. You should try to retain as much as you have space for - you never know what you might need in the future (apart from the bodyskell of course!)

Cheers

Those plastic caps off the top of the front dampers amke good bolt head covers.

i think i detailed what I kept on my site....

just about the lot except glass, headlamps, lekky window motors.

you can always lob what you dont need later.

anything else is a visit to scrappy and more expense.

but then I like scrappies. can see all the cars I wanted 20 years ago as rust heaps and feel old........

Ned,

Before you get it taken away- make sure the shell hasn't gained any new residents (like cats!!!) etc.
The blighters get in through the gearstick hole so they can sun themselves on the parcel shelf- atleast that's where I kept finding my sister's cat!

Cheers,

James
