Donor Delivered
My donor car was delivered yesterday... Some specs for those interested...
77,000 mile (genuine) Sierra Saphire Cosworth with all receipts Stage 2 head, cams, stock ECU (stage 2 was sold prior to my intervention) Group A Head
Gasket and Head Studs, Full engine and turbo overhaul at 73,000 miles. 1990 so no cat.
All the hoses are intact, the pic was taken just after he removed all the nice samco bits and K&N...
Runs nice and quiet, blows no smoke, but needs matching to current ecu
Fitted with Clifford 50 Alarm
Previously Owned by a 20 yr old who paid £6,000 and killed shell/bodywork in 16 days! LOL
A bargain at £1950
Muwahahahahahahaha

No Point
Has no interior, shell and almost every body panel is damaged... lights knackered...
There was a complete RS500 less engine and gearbox that went on ebay for £3500 so a full build would be around £6,000 and won't be anywhere near
as much fun as the 7..

That will be awesome in a 500 kg car! Well done on the bargain... And reconditioned only 4,000 miles ago!
You thinking of building the chassis and all yourself? Or a kit?
Chris.

Hey guys
I am looking at the MNR vortx and luego viento at Harrogate tomorrow...
Orders will be made and deposits paid...
My budget currently stands at £10,400 inc the donor (£1950) those being the final 2 in my shortlist due to my height... 6'5" (thats the
money I have raised, not the costs)
The motor will be putting out @350BHP when its finished... green injectors, stage 3 ecu or standalone engine management if I can run to it.. as is,
its putting out 225BHP due to the removal of the other items and the stage 1 ecu...
Much more than that and it will be dangerous...
Although a nitrous kit will probably be fitted for the days when less than 9 second quarters are a must...
