Fairly simple really.
You need a flywheel, clutch, plate, cover, and a clutch release bearing, arm / mecanism, and a Type 9 or MT75 manual gearbox.
Type 9 box should cost you anything form£25 upwards depending on condition.
Its a nut and bolt job really.
All the front and rear axle will be useable.
However, I have no idea what the diff ratio will be.
What ever it is, its a simple job to swap diffs later on. At least it would get you on the road.
Its worth it for all the orther bits as well, ie the steering whell, column, switches and shroud. All these little bits cost more when bought
separately.
All in all, IMHO its worth buying.

Spigot bearing also required.

All the Auto Sierras I've come across on ebay (I actually want an auto) have a habit of either starting on a lot of money or staying very low
till the last day and going for considerable money, so don't be surprised when it shoots up.
If you do buy it and don't have plans for the box and tourque converter, give me a shout.
