Since when did you need keys for a SierraWent to collect but couldn’t find the hidden keys. Luckily the wife hadn’t driven off.

Very nice Barry , health to enjoy
I’ve a 2.0 Zetec there myself which I plan to get Ali to turbo at some stage.
It was planned for my white sierra but Ali has me convinced to build another shell for it as the white one is too original to ruin lol
She's a beauty now. That, to me, isn't far off perfection as far as Sapphires go. Moondust Silver is one of my very favourite Sierra colours, and lattices are the wheel for a Cosworth kit. Easily one of my favourite threads on here because I fully admit I am a geek where these cars are concerned.
The only thing I'd point out is the Sierra badge on the rear looks too far from the vertical shut line and is the earlier pre-1990 font. But really, this is properly banal anorak **** and the car looks mint regardless!
And now Facebook has informed me the car's for sale. Fair play to you for leaving it right for whoever buys it - and by today's pricing it's not expensive, though I've no storage for it and therefore can't put my money where my mouth is.It’s waaaay off & I pointed that out to Tommy as he was fitting badges as a favour. He claimed his positioning was to hide a few marks

Can’t believe it’s been for sale since September.And now Facebook has informed me the car's for sale. Fair play to you for leaving it right for whoever buys it - and by today's pricing it's not expensive, though I've no storage for it and therefore can't put my money where my mouth is.
You should write a book @BarryPort. Fair play for helping them Scottish lads out too.Can’t believe it’s been for sale since September.

Then 3 lads from Dundee flew over last Saturday, they had a night in Belfast & I was to meet them on Sunday night once I got back from skiing.
They have a ferry booked for 11pm and at 9pm I lose all gears at Dunsilly roundabout Antrim.

It’s absolutely freezing so I bounce into a taxi & head for their hotel, explain the situation, but them a few rounds, pay for another nights stay & their flights the next day & the cost of the ferry out of courtesy.

They were decent lads. Arranged for the Sierra to be recovered from Dunsilly while I checked into the Europa, and hit Thompson’s nightclub by myself.
Got the car on a lift

Wasn’t the clutch sadly

It needed a gearbox which a mate had spare in Ballymoney

Bit of a battle doing it solo rolling around on the ground

But we got there.

The Scottish lads still want the car & are willing to just have it transported over for all it’l cost.

That’s nothing @Ruairi83
Last week a digger I had on hire slid into a river when the bank fell away. Turns out I wasn’t insured & the hire company didn’t want to put it through theirs either as they didn’t want it back regardless. Had to buy it off them for £90k, the exact figure in my savings account.

Then had to get a team of men who specialise in digger recovery to slipe it out.. that was £5k so that’s why I was taking bad money for the Sierra to pay them.

To be fair they were unreal, military operation, I spent 5hrs in the water in my diving gear taking out the half shafts & putting chains on to allow it to roll out better.
It looks worse than what it is. No water near the engine (runs fine) just damp electrics which is being addressed tomorrow.
flipping hell thats one for the history books, cant understand why that wouldnt be covered.That’s nothing @Ruairi83
