its really up to you what you want you do have to plan ahead though
a sierra donor is not 100% necessary .
a zetec a good motor
if you are building a trackday only car then its easy enough to source
the necessary bits you need but you wont be able to follow the the book to the letter..
for the rear you,ll need a sierra diff driveshafts hubs carriers and calipers you,ll probably end upputting new brakes on
for the front you,ll need sierra uprights and calipers again you,ll proably renew the the brakes
you,ll need a g,box mt75 or type 9
a bespoke propshaft
you could probably modify lots of different h/brake levers to do the job
and if you,re looking to use different clocks than a sierra dash etc..
also a homemade steering column would not be too much of a drama
especially if you are not going iva
lots of people start with a sierra but you could quite easily source the bits you need else where...
for eg.Rally design do a set of brand new front hubs and uprights for £99
not a bad price if the sierra donor ones need seals , bearings and a good clean etc
