Donor found!!

[HandyAndy]

sounds like a fair deal, even better with a £50 tax refund , so only cost you £325 before you sell any parts, & sounds like the engine is " a goodun"

and the right engine if ever you wish to change to a zetec power plant.

I,d go for it if I was you, you might end up still looking for a cheaper donor for months without success.

Yeah, it's what I was thinking. Just let me know TT what you're after, I'm sure we can come to some arrangement.
I reckon it's gonna be false economy finding a cheaper car miles away, just going to cost me a bomb to get it home.
Now, just to inform the wife of a new addition to the driveway...........

Yep they come apart quickly...


I once removed most of the dash from a XR4x4 whilst en route to drop it off at a locost builder in gateshead. I needed the dash and was on a mega tight schedule as my wife was in hospital ( for waht turned out to be a dreadful 2 months!! ) ..


I could probably strip an entire car in a day by myself. So long as no fixings fail...

No pics as of yet, will post some once I get the car, and work out how to post pics on here. Interior is mint, two tone grey. Engine bay is absolutely gleaming with a bit of honest looking oil around the sump. The only rust seems to be around the rear wheel arch. Diff and box look fine too.
Is flyerncle quite local Andy, and does he make a habit of ripping peoples cars to bits? Might save me a divorce if I can get the car stripped away from home.

Flyerncle is fairly local to you & I ( gateshead ) but i wouldn,t wish to commit him to the task of stripping a car,

Tho to be honest, if you intend to "sell on" alot of the parts, I would suggest you strip it on your drive, the car can still look fairly decent during the strip down , which should keep er indoors off your back
When my donor was stripped.....how shall i say this??? we were ruthless to say the least in its dismantle it wasn,t pretty , lol
