Breaking my Sierra
 
Hi guys, going to make a start on breaking my donor Sierra, its a sapphire GLSi 2.0 DOHC.
Got an ad on ebay too but if anyone actually wants parts for a car then let me know, obviously Id like to keep all the running gear etc for my own car (unless someone wants to swap with parts that might be more suitable for me ;) ) But everything else is available.
Car is still complete and amazingly everything works, a shame to break but its a donor after all so would be a shame to then just scrap the rest.
Cheers,
Doug.

Thanks, if you need any more details let me know, can supply contact details too.
This is the only picture I have at the moment, body is a little faded, was wet when pictured. I have the front bumper too but not on it in the picture.
Thanks very much!

Will do.
Cheers. Still trying to work out best ways to source parts. Going to cheat and buy the main chassis etc pre-fabricated.

You won,t be "cheating" by getting a head start with a pre fabricated chassis, thats the beauty of the Roadster, as now there a so many suppliers that a builder has the choice of whether to build from scratch or not, which can depend on personal circumstances.

Don,t forget.........YOU build the car :cool:

Doogle,

might I get you to have a look here, see what you think.

I could meet you at the ferry port for nowt.

Cheers Ginge

Feels like cheating but dont have time and confidence to build one from scratch at the moment not that I couldnt do it.
Live at home so taking over dads garage plus house on the market so cant set up a long term project, needs to be mobile quick.

Thanks Ginge, sent you PM

cheers,
Doug.
