Selling up...

[brainbug007]

Unfortunately the time has come for me to sell up my build. My wife and I have just bought our 1st house and I under estimated how quickly some of the work needed would have to be done. So for the forseeable future I can't see me getting any time to work on the car not to mention I need the money now to pay for the work the house needs.

The amount I've learned through the process has been phenomenal and I sincerely thank everyone who has helped me get this far. Hopefully in a few years I'll be able to try again and it'll be a bit easier next time round!

As I slowly work through all my bits that I think I can sell off to raise funds I'll post them into this thread 1st to let you guys have dibs before I try selling anything on ebay that no one here wants. I'm happy to post anything at the buyer's expense but obviously for some of the bigger/heavier items it would probly work out cheaper for the buyer to come collect (I live in Weston-Super-Mare). If someone was interested in buying the lot as an unfinished project, I'd take £2200. I may have forgotten something from the list below, if you want something that isn't listed PM me.

Donor Pack - £400
All of this came off my donor, it was a 1993 Ford Sierra 1.8 Cfi Azura which had 97k on the clock. I still have the V5 for it and it's currently declared as sorn with the DVLA. It was MOT'd the day before I drove it home. If no one wants the pack as a whole, I'll split the parts. It includes:

1.8 CVH Engine - I've put new alternator & belt, head gasket, thermostat, RS Turbo Exhaust Manifold, & clutch on it (hense me wanting £400 for the "pack"). The thermostat housing has also been relocated to the back of the head to accomidate a bike carb conversion. Because the engine has had the bike carb conversion, I would consider bundling all of the conversion parts listed below & megajolt for a "deal". Note that the sump has been chopped and a new sump gasket put on.
Type 9 gearbox
Front hubs with capilers & brake discs. I'm not sure if the discs are good enough to get through IVA, they may need replacing. The pads still look to have a good amount left on them.
Diff
Prop shafts (push in type)
Rear brake shoe assemblys and back plates
Steering column
Cluster (I have two of these as the original cluster had a clock instead of a rev counter, I then aquired another cluster to replace mine so I had a rev counter)
Loom (note that I have chopped/modified parts of the loom to remove redundant circuts and shorten wires that where too long)

Pair of Differential Brackets (from Saturn Sports Cars) - £30
Headlight Brackets (from Saturn Sports Cars) - £25

Bike Carb Conversion
Kawasaki ZX6R Inlet Rubbers (set of 4) - £15

Coolant System
Rover 200 header tank - £15
Kit spares radiator - £50 (brand new but was "adjusted" slightly along the top so it would fit better under the nosecone) http://www.kitspares.co.uk/shop/item...=4746&catsub=0

sad sad day dude ....I know what you mean tho...I gave up my favourite sport of hang gliding to buy a bungalow....good luck with the new place.

unfortunate fella.

My only advice after splitting my first build is keep your chassis somewhere. I got naff all for my first one then spend an age building number 2 always cursing selling the first one.

Might be interested in the megajolt and any photo's of the wheels?

After a sleepless night it just breaks my heart to much to sell my car. I'm just going to have to raise funds for the house elsewhere and if it takes me 10 years to finish building the car then so be it. Thanks for all the kind words and to those who have shown interest in buying bits.
