Hi from newbie/donor wanted.
 

Hi folks, just thought I'd pop a quick post in to show my face.
Just spent the afternoon with the two Andys from Saturn Sportscars. Big thanks to them for their time, advice, and especially the trip out in the roadster. Anyone thinking of building one of these is well advised to pay these guys a visit.
Anyway, looks like I'm gonna be placing an order with Saturn over the next couple of months, once I find a suitable donor. If any of you guys have any ideas where I can get my hands on a CVH engined Sierra for reasonable money it would be much appreciated.:D

welcome to the forum :cool:
It was nice to spend time chatting "Roadsters" today & glad you enjoyed the afternoon.........
The highlight is the trip out in the Roadster :D

good luck with finding a donor & your future build.

Enjoy the forum, its a great place full of like minded nutters .......oops I mean Roadster builders.:D

cheers

ebay and classifides are best ... Less and less cheap ones about though.

Cheers guys. Already spotted 2 possible donors within 120 miles, both on the road and potentially cheap. Will let you know if they come to anything. Also, is there a market for the bits that aren't needed from the donor, if there's any money to be made it may allow me to spend a little more initially.

A am a member of the sierra owners club and a stalwart of the forum.. Anything you need to get rid of can be offered there ( although sierra owners are not generaly flush with cash ;) ) or fire it on ebay.

A very warm welcome to the forum CaptainCrash1971 :cool:

I bet you had a grand day with the lads at Saturn :)

I can Picture the scene .... 30 seconds down the road in Spuds car .... bet you was saying " I got to get me one of these " :D :D

I hope one of them donors is not a Chassure with full MOT.... As a sirra fan I still have to try and protect the good cars...:rolleyes:

No Bonzo, I'm afraid 30 seconds in and I was thinking I wish I'd brought spare pants. It was 45 seconds in before I was thinking I got to get me one of these. Apparently he took it easy cos it was a bit cold and grip wasn't as good as it could have been!!!! Most fun I've had with me trousers on I can safely say.
And don't worry TT, I'll try and buy a knacker that won't make the next MOT.

Nope ..... Turn em all into Roadsters :D :D

Well .... Perhaps, save the cossies :cool:

At least most XR4x4's are safe from you horrid people..
