Price of scrap
Well it seems there are plenty of good donors about as know one wanted to buy mine 
see link
I took it to the scrap yard today and got £154.
And thats without the bits I riped out at the yard 
And on top of that a nice traveller  couldnt wait to buy the cat in the boot.
Just a shame, the bits should have lived on in a locost for years to come

sierra.

I saw a tidy looking Sierra today in town. Does anyone else get the urge to shout "donor vehicle" at them or is it just me that needs a
visit from the men in white coats??

No, it's not just you. My family look at me in a weird way when I shout it when we are out in the tintop. Reminds me, there's a V reg Mk2
Escort round here...

I had seriously considered getting the car from you when you offered it at £200 as all the donor bits, just the distance stopped me and the cost/time
to go and collect. Keep thinking there must be one local sometime soon.

Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

This one wont even get used as bits. Its going direct to china in golf ball size bits
still I got the alternator and the switch gear along with the gear stick
wife wouldnt let me take it to bits with the pug on the drive, bike, Locost and three engines in the garage.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
