Sierra bought!

I won an ebay auction for an old Sierra for the princely sum of £250! While searching for cheap cars I've decided that it seems that ebay is one of the best places to pick them up, autotrader etc tends to have higher value cars on it, but you probably already knew that.

Nick and I drove over to pick up the car a couple of days ago. Here is me with my new purchase:

The Sierra is a 1.6 so not the most powerful, but we aren't going to use the engine so that is no problem. It has an MOT so it was easy to get it home unlike some of the cars on ebay. The car was smooth at speed, no vibrations or strange noises to suggest the transmission might have issues, which is great. There is the occasional crunch when putting it into third gear though, which maybe an issue if we end up using the gearbox, but that is tied into the engine choice that is still to be made.

Now we have the first donor car, the actual hands on work can begin soon! Exciting stuff!
