Default Any unwanted sierras about?

is there any unwanted seirras about, looking for the donor floor pan for my project and its proving to be a pain in the arse, dont want to cut up the cossie floor pan, such a waste. All the ones on ebay etc are miles away and asking daft money for them! So if anyone wants rid of a sierra thats sitting in the drive doing nothing let me know, i will happily take it off you for some cash/ not lots of cash, but some!

There are approximately 6 Sierras (a couple of Cossies, one is my old Smokestone Sapph K293 FTW still with bumpers rear axle/diff/brakes and front hubs/shafts/subframe/rack) sat in a yard in Mossley/Greenfield near Oldham doing nothing - Think the owner of the yard is the chap with the transit van - if you zoom in on street view onto the van you can get a phone number - Might be worth having a nosey - They were all still there last week when I drove past!

Google map view - My old Smokestone is the one reflecting the light to the satelite!
Google Street View - My old Sapph is the one with yellow tape on the cover over the rear screen!

Or alternatively have you thought about using the floorpan from a Mk3 Granada - Same tunnel width and possibly cheaper/easier to get hold of?
