Bits...
 

Afternoon,

as of today i'm officially MINTED, went to the local scrap yard this morning to weigh in a load of copper wire and ended up drawing £600 for it :D put a huge smile on my face. this now means i can spend some more money on the car :)

i'm now looking for a donor car and a 2.0 zetec black top as well as some other bits 'n' pieces...

is there a certain year where they started making the sierra with a MT75 gearbox? i'v looked but couldn't seem to find anything, because i'm using the zetec engine the MT75 would be ideal, have found all the bits i need to convert it for fit-ment with the zetec engine for next to nothing. also with it being a slightly newer box, in 'theory' it will be stronger and able to cope with more torque.

with regards to an engine, whilst i was at the scrappers i asked them if they had any (they didn't :() but they break fords and get them in fairly often, they gave me a phone number and said to give them a ring at a later date and they would see if they had anything. whilst i was there they quoted me £200 for the engine (including manifolds) engine loom, ECU, transponder (including key and ignition barrel) which i thought was a bargain!

i will also be looking to buy some suspension mountings and shocker mountings and have no idea where to get them from?

Cheers

1989 was the year the MT75 apeared with the DOHC

you will pick up a full mondeo running clinging to an MOT for £200. and then sell the unwanted stuff, weigh in the steel and cat and have your money back and probabl more.

was thinking about doing this but i dont have the space for a sierra and mondeo, as i will be using most of the parts from the sierra and just the engine from the mondeo, also to buying a full car for £200 will probably mean that the mileage is quite high (100k+), where as buying a separate engine (probably from a write off) will probably be only 60-80k miles

also i will be putting the zetec engine in the sierra and re-registering it which will allow me to get the donor plate ;)

A zetec with 100K is just run in.

Hi Twinturbo I was just thinking if anyone hears of a mondeo 1.8/2.0l blacktop for sale for around £200 I would travel over and drive it back
