2WD Saph -Complete car for breaking or project now £2500
I bought this a few months ago, but I have only been in the UK for about 1 month since June, so I haven't had time to do anything with it.
The inital plan was to put it back on the road but that fell through, and I have been searching for a good Mk2 sierra estate to reshell this into, but as more time drags on trying to find a suitable one, and 4 other cars it's probably sensible of me to get rid.
I don't have time and space to break it, so although I appreciate helpful replies that I will not doubt get as a response to this ad, it is not something I can do at the moment.
Anyway sob story over with.
The car has not been on the road since 99', it has changed hands a few times but sat in garages etc. To be utterly honest it is very rusty, and would require a lot of welding to make it right, so anybody considering this as a project needs to take this into account.
I have never heard the car running, it does not have a fuel tank or fuel pump, so I cannot speak about or commit to anything regarding this. Obviously the same goes for anything else i.e. box, diff, etc.
The interior has been removed but I have this stored at my house, it is not perfect but 99% of it is there apart from 1/4 of the rear seat and the centre console armrest.
From memory the odometer reads about 90k if that matters
Looking for £2750, I'm not in a desperate hurry to sell it so any offers less than this I will have to consider carefully. Car is located in Aberdeen, contact me here via PM as I am not in the UK at the moment. Oh and I forgot to add about the engine is aparently a 205 bottom end with a 4wd head.

Not sure mate, I haven't tried and I'm away at the moment so can't give you an answer.
Yeah still got the others, I need to sort that out though, too many cars and not enough space!

Its a shame to break but if its roosty then it will cost a bit to get it right! I keep on thinking about cosworths but its just one thing after another in my life lol houses, houses, doing up houses, missus wants a new house etc etc!! maybe shes saving me money and stress in the long run

Yeah there's always something sensible to take away the fun of spending money on cars, kids, houses, wives, weddings, divorces, etc... Notice most of them are women related.....
The car should have been basically finished by now, in my absence I had arranged for some work to be done, but for one reason or another it never happened. So now I've just though "fuck it" and it's getting punted.
Getting tired of trying to find an estate to reshell it into, they are either miles away and cost a bomb to transport (becuase I'm not in the UK most of the time to do it myself), or some dreamer wants loads for a rotten base model one. I even threw in the towel the other day and spoke to someone who had a cossie shell, then that was feckin' sold before I could blink....something says it's just not meant to be! haha

There's always the right time and place, another one will come up again! This is the 2nd one I've sold like this so I'll probably have another in a while
Don't know anything about the engine other than I was 'told' it was a recon 4wd head on a 205 bottom end and new turbo put on but it was never ran becuase it needed other work, so it sat rusting even more.
Car is complete other than what I said above. I'd say it's deffo a candidate for reshelling though, all doors are rusty, bootlid is dented, floor needs a lot of welding, rear arches are totally gone. it would need a lot of fabrication then a full paint on top.

Then I need all mechanicals - if it hangs around (I doubt it at that price) I may be in a position to buy it in a couple of months time

Rog I have an old fuel pump/filter/cradle etc that I removed off my saph that I won't be needing as I'm getting the same set up but with an 044 pump off chip in the future.
Your quite welcome to it mate just to get the car up and running as I think without people hearing the engine it could be a bit too much for some to take a risk.
If you want it let me ken as I'm back up a week Thursday and can drop it into you.

You could rig something up as a temporary fuel tank mate,even a petrol can would do.
