When I had my sierra donor I stripped anything i could get my hands on using the principle that it may come in handy....
That paid off yet again this weekend when rigging the throttle cable from my peadl to the GSXR throttle bodies...
Here's the top tip..... the cable release for the bonnet has a plastic ferulle on the end which is perfect for fitting a mountain bike brake
cable to the throttle bodies
And also... the remote release for the folding seat backs is also cable operated and has a metal ferulle with a nut on one side which works great at
the pedal end
Just shows, it pays to hoard stuff!
your quite right to hold onto the donor till the very end, so long as it doesn't take ten years and you end up with an ASBO from next door
i dumped the shell quite early on but I have boxes of bits all over.. I literally kept everything I could remove!
Too right! I had access to a car for bits and pieces, and took things like door rubbers (for edging), flexible concertina rubber wiring covers from door/hatch openings (useful for covering track rod nuts, etc.), etc. etc.
Bugger, thought I'd kept enough.. but, obviously not
