Donor parts from Estonia
Hi to all, mu first post here, although registered in April.
Currently gathering and refurbishing donor parts for my build. Have already broken a 83 1.6 Pinto Sierra and another 83 2.0 Pinto is waiting to be broken. Also have bought rear axle from a 2.3 diesel with 3.38 ratio diff and disc brakes. Probably will use these for my own build. So I already have a spare set of donor parts: front uprights with brakes, steering column and wheel, prop shaft, 2 diffs, push in halfshafts, rear bearing carriers with drum brakes and wiring loom. Know that these parts would be useful for builders in Britain, but the problem is that I live in Estonia. So I had a little idea. As there are still quite a lot Sierras left here. Would it be a viable idea to gather some more donor parts, load them into a minivan, dive to England and distribute them to fellow Roadster builders? Madis |
Hi Madis and welcome!
It might be worth your while, if you collect a good number of donor parts and bring them over to one of the kit car shows next year - you should have no trouble selling them there, as sierra parts are used on many more cars than the roadster. Good luck with your build, Sam |
Aside from the steering being on the wrong side, would there be any other differences between a LHD and RHD sierra?
I know we don't use the Sierra rack, just wondering if there are any other bits that 'might' not fit |
Actually that's a good question. Also starter motor and clutch arm are reversed. But to AFAIK the drive train should be the same. Maybe someone else can clarify?
