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

cheers

Yeah... The saleable items are the bits kit builders want..


But Sierra owners are still on the lookout for slightly better condition stuff or upgrades.

A good non saggy headlining is money..
A full lockset is good
clear indicator make a little


Various bits can add up...

That price seems about the sort of money you should expect to pay for a good runner

As Andy has said .... The ideal car to go for if you plan to install a Zetec in your build at a later date

Have fun stripping the donor .... I love it .... Ripping em apart, knowing you don't have to put it all back together again

Tell me about it

Spent ages today looking for my nice new shiny sump plug .... Removed it when I done the sump chop.

Got so frustrated, I sent Junior out to Halfrauds for another one

You just know I am going to trip over the other one tomorrow

when i was getting my chassis to the rolling stage I was forever losing my 17mm & 19mm spanner & sockets
to the point that i,d end up cleaning the garage just to find the little blighters

glad its not just me then , lol

Stripping the car is no problem,getting rid of the bits is your nightmare.

And you did return at 3:45 just in time to go home (you know who you are ! )

It was done with love and affection !

I reckon I'll just take off any bits needed and set to the shell with an angle grinder. Chop it into buts small enough to go into me trailer and down to scrapyard. Just saves me loads of grief getting the shell picked up.
Plus, will be sooo much more fun!!!
