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 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 Jake

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.
