You'll probably end up in an fleabay bidding war without knowing it

Good luck in your hunt for a donor chaps

Am seriously thinking about a nissan 200sx as a donor especially for the engine but maybe not the running gear I have a mate who is keeping an eye out for me re a sierra, but I do know that the ca18det engine is a absolute menace in bog standard form but it is also tunable to some real silly numbers, but I think that 169 horses will be more than adequate

Hi Bonzo n capitanocrash
yeah it is easy to get pulled into a bidding war on fleabay, but thankfully I have a mate who knows some one in the breaking business......apart from that sierra's are commanding higher bids (might be sevenesque related ) on ebay.... totally out of character....pity Chris did not use an Omega (plenty of those about at the mo)......I will follow the book up to and including the IVA but after that I will want to play with some other engine combo's.....is the MT75 g/box a lot larger than the 9 ? because I would like to errr on the side of caution to allow for a larger g/box if need be.
Yes Alan we must liase during our build ......a problem shared is a problem halved well in theory anyway, and there is also the lads down at SSC.
One thing I have noticed when I have told others that I intend to build a car, i have been rather overwhelmed at the responce..... WOW thats a cool thing to do or wish I had the balls to have a go at that, I have had shedloads of wellwishers saying yeah go for it maaaan.....thought there would have been a few poeple sayiing you've got a screw loose but not one.....very encouraging
hope to order steel soon and get cracking
roll on next summer (trying to be realistic)

The price of sierras is generaly definatly going up. Drifting and Kitcars are definatly playing a part in this.

Sporting modles are following the trend of previous sporting fords and raising in value quicker.

Very clean cars with high spec have also risen in value strongly.

Sheds are going up ( that must be the kit car 's )

middle of the road cars are hanging about, these are the more common ones that kit builders are getting outbid on as they are still useable general cars.

TT
