Donor anyone? Why build a locost?!

Why even consider building a 7 when you could buy this donor and just drive it around!

Possible issues I can see if the wife not letting you park it on the drive to dismantle!

Here we go get ready......

that's freakishly shite (IMHO)

It's almost worth buying from him just to know that you've liberated the useful parts from a life of misery.

It probably took longer to type it than do it

Unless it was held on with self tappers, they'll have ripped out and made the holes too big to 'just screw it back in'

I've now suddenly got visions of Richard Hammond in the old white Porche where he had to replace the door handle lol.
That little brass 1 fingered pull thing off a small cabinet! think that would be quite apt and fitting for that monstrocity!

I recon you could negotiate him down a bit, buy it, use it as a donor, sell all the crap spoilers / chav / neon on ebay and break even.

Plus you'd have a turbo donor for nowt.

I must admit if I did buy it I'd be like the Stig on the way home. Helmet on, even when I stopped to fill up / stopped by the police / picked up by the AA *

Sierra !!??

I didn't even want a car like that when I was a teenager may moons ago

A Triumph Vitesse done it for me then. No bling, But a 2.5 PI engine in it though.
