Looks almost too good to break....
number plate could be worth something as well David |
The number plate may be worth a couple of quid to the right person when you come to strip it;)
Damn you Dave you beat me too it. |
:p .....:D

Nice - similar to mine. It does seem almost criminal to break them - I bought mine from a couple who'd been using it as a daily driver and loved it. Felt terrible when they asked why I wanted it :)
I'm definitely going with the CVH to get the car on the road with and who knows from then! |
Bargain.
It is a real shame to donor an almost classic Ford but needs must & all that. :D The guy who sold me number 2 donor thought I was going to put it back on the road. ;) He was devestated when my sadistic eldest son, sent him pictures of the car. Cut into about 8 pieces & piled up in my drive ready to load on the Tranny. :D :D |
I have sent you a U2U

i've been wondering - should I really rip an almost perfect car to bits (considering its age), or should I restore it and then sell it as a classic in 10 years time? I've been looking for a donor for a good while, and they've all been much more expensive and in worse condition than this one - so I know how good a bargain I've managed to pick up. never considered the reg plate as a spare! Cheers guys! One guy has already bought the front seats, and a few others are interested in doorcards, wings etc... Do doors, bonnets and boots sell well if they're in good nick? Thanks for all the feedback :) |
I wouldnt have any regrets braking a sierra.
I had a sierra saphire 2.0 dohc is good condition, Horrible car, imo take the useful bits and build it into something decent... They aint ever going to be a mk1 or 2 escort, bit like the austin maxi, it old enough to be a classic but no one really gives a ***t :) |

That was about 10 years after my mate took his Lotus Mk1 Cortina to the scrapyard. :eek: Hindsight is great but not much use after the event. ;) The Sierra panels may be worth selling if you can find a local buyer, still quite a few on the road. |
