Stripping Donor
MrFozzieBear - 10/4/09 at 08:23 PM

Hi,

I've just finished stripping my sierra, just wondering if anyone can think of any small items I could easily forget to take,
I got the essentials,
Engine, Gearbox, diff, prop, driveshaft’s, hubs etc,
Handbrake,
Speedo,
Labelled Wiring Loom,
Clocks,
Peddle Box
Wheels,
Front Light Looms.

Any help would be great,

Thanks.

Seats so you can have a sit in the garage with a cuppa reading the manual?

I took all the relays etc from under the bonnet but didn't realise that the indicator flasher unit is under the dash near the steering column.

oh nips i forgot to take those off mine...

About 10cm of metal from the fuel tank around (and including) the fuel tank sender hole. This flattens out nicely and can be bolted and seal to your tank, then you just twist fit the sender unit.

A VERY large bucket/pot with all the screws/nuts/bolts etc that you have removed.

The Brake fluid reservoir cap.

Instrument binnacle.

Steering Wheel
Gear lever

Check the floor under the seats, under the carpet too. You will find coins, I found £2.31 in my donor.

Thats nothing, i found 11 odd quid in mine (although £5 of that had fallen out of my own pocket )

I also took all the nuts, bolts and screws i could get and they have come in quite handy

Typical scotsman!

£ 2.31 ? I was done - I only got £1.32 out of mine! (and it was in white fivers! ) but it was a very old car!!

engine and gearbox mounts, braking bias valve ( probably better to use this than a bias bar since mr govt. decided they have to be all welded up for IVA ) ? :

MrFozzieBear - 11/4/09 at 08:25 AM

Yeah i've check for money £1.01p
