Donor

just seen a sierra saphire 4x4 dohc, my question is does this have the same rear subframe as a standard sierra, I know they have a limited slip diff and the wrong type of gear box but is the rest OK for a 2b? peter2b

haw easy is it to switch an auto box to a manual type, as i'm looking for a doner for my friend and all i can find are autos peter2b

Hi everyone, Just joined up today as i ordered my Zero at Stonleigh at the weekend. I have started to gather Donor parts and i have been offered an Lsd for £100.00. Sounds great but i have read somewhere that the Ford Lsd has some issues. Can anyone shed any light on this and advise whether to go with this or stick with a geared diff. The same chap who has the Lsd has also offered me a rebuilt 5 speed MT75 with Transit DI 1st-4th gearing and Sierra 5th gear for also £100.00, anyone information on gear ratios help etc would be greatly asppreciated before i spend my hard earned. I am hoping to fit a 180 BHP Zetec if this helps. Thanx in advance Marty Smith

How can I find out what ratio my diff is it's from a dohc 2.0 auto glx from 92 Any help would be nice

Some years ago my dad and I acquired a part built S7 and spent a lot of time getting it match fit, we were in a whisker of sending it for SVA. However I went away to university, and then my dad passed away. Although it remained untouched for several years I could never quite bring myself to do the sensible thing and get rid. Now that I have a decent size garage the car is with me, although not in the best of health. It so happens my brother in law has a Mondeo he wants to scrap and here lies my question. I understand that the Mondeo contains a Zetec, and I think I've read about putting them in Hoodies. Is this feasible? I also believe that the mondeo is a transverse engin…

Look up Atlas Salvage in St Helens, merseyside. White sierra estate, looks 1800cc ish. Complete except for steering column I am back there this morning, so I shall try to confirm engine cc and mileage. It has the ohc lump in, with carb

Hi all had a good crack at the doner today hope you like my red carpet got a lot of wire brushing and painting to to next Also is it just me that if your in this game(kit cars) you'll never have any skin on you knuckles I need a fosters cheers

Hi hoodys I'm going to start the strip down this weekend (around the F1) where's the best place to start what shall I get off first More to the point to what parts will I need off the doner for a zero build. The doner is a glx dohc 2.0 with all round disc brakes All advice is good cheers

Today is doner day Trailer = check Snacks = check My dad = check Devon here we come 180 mile to go Hoodys I'll keep u updated Cheers

hi hoodys just been doning some looking into doners could the scoripio be the new doner its a bit longer but the running gear looks the same afterall it was a sierra facelift model after we got through 1.3 million sierra's could this be the new doner whats the thoughts guys cheers

Just a thought I know from personal experience that finding Sierra parts for a donor is getting more and more difficult. I was just wondering what’s going to happen to kit builders from where lots of kit cars are Sierra based going to do once these are all gone. A lot of chassis are built to fit Sierra gear boxes, diffs ect. I have been trying to think of other more available rear wheel drive donors. BMW, Mercedes..err!!!! Would like to know your thoughts on is. Graham

Afternoon I know you can use a Sierra master cylinder but is there another make you can use? I bought a sierra one from ebay but it seems to have to many hols in it, it might be me being dense though.

If I get a auto serria what extra work am I getting I'm self in to getting the engine to take the type 9 box It's the 2ltr dohc

Ok I'm trying to find the right sierra but which one to get do I get the 1.6, 1.8, 2.0. A pinto Dohc or splash out for a zetec don't think the budget will allow that oh and which reg/year would be a good choice not got a massive budget so what you think guys

While searching for some information on 16v ford engines I came across the ford scorpio site with all the manuals. Looking at the front hubs, diff, drive shafts and rear suspension it all looked very simular to the sierra. This got me thinking with sierras becoming short in supply could the ford scorpio become an alternative donor car. Has anyone any knowledge of the mechanics of these cars.

Over the next couple of weeks I will be breaking two sierra's I can offer a donor packadge consisting of front hubs front calipers steering column steering cowl switch gear lock and key handbrake lever complete rear axle set up (drum drakes) v5c looking for £300.00 each collected from essex or can put on a pallet for you to arrange courier. cheers Gavin

Morning all I have got some old rear hubs for my Zero but to be honest they are....well had it. I have rang Andrew Pages for a price but they want the reg for the car. I have told them I dont have a reg so they cant help me! Does anyone know how much a pair of rear hubs cost new, btw they need to be for discs. Thanks Graham

Hello all. So I decided to make a start, as I have on order a new Zero. My plan was to find a Sierra spend the next few weeks stripping her out, cutting up what was not needed and disposing of, then cleaning and preping my donor parts, including the broken cars pinto. There was only one problem with this, I can not find any... Well there were one or two on ebay but they were around £8000. I have checked the papers, the internet and even called the local scrap yard, all with no luck .. I remember it was not so long ago that there was a Sierra in every street, two to a penney!! I can only guess that over the years most have been bought up for this very reason..…

Been trying to sort Sierra parts for my Zero build...they are like looking for rocking horse *bleep*e. Is anyone else finding this? Graham

HI guys I have my Zero base kit on order, so have been looking for donor parts, I will prob go for the donor pack from GBS in the end, but without the engine. My question is Do these kits (base kit) come with new fixture & fittling , nuts and bolts and such , As I would like to use new. In the list of parts that come with the kit there is no mention of this, it would be nice to have the correct fixtures for each section of my build in a nice easy to read bag. or is that too much to ask ?? I was just worring about this as I would be unsure on size and the correct strength.. Whilst im ere ( I know prob not the right section ) would I be right in thinking tha…

I havnt got a cowling for the the indicators and having trouble finding a sieera one, has anyone used a cowling from another car? I'm going to order some indicator/flash stalks but cant find a cowling, or, if anyine has a spare, beer tokens waiting, thanks
