lisbon_road Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Small point on replacement fuel tanks. I fitted one to a Sierra a few years back. It went staggeringly rusty in a very short period, such that the fuel in it was full of rusty particles. I think the problem was that the pattern tank wasn't treated at all inside. Just bare steel. When I replaced it - again - I used a tank sealant. The sealants get some criticism for becoming like a loose bladder, but I reckon with a really clean new tank, they should work well. Seemed a bit odd to be sealing a tank that didn't need it, but I am sure that it was the right thing to do. I still have a few Sierra bits, including a junk box of fixings, so if you find you need any by all means ask. andrew e 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 We do have a driver's door in red, BUT it's got an electric motor in it and some trim too - so this might be a simpler move. Angrydicky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angrydicky Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I've made an executive decision and have bought the drivers door. It will save a lot of work not having to faff about removing an electric motor and swapping in the (likely quite tired and rusty) manual regulator from the original door. The replacement door looks like it hasn't seen as much weather as the original so it's probably got a nice smooth reg in it. Crusty Sills is kindly collecting it on Wednesday. I need to BACS him the £55. GrumpiusMaximus, CreepingJesus, Coprolalia and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A forum is an 'internet thing', it's a community, it's not a market. The sale section is a small part of a much larger thing, and it's nothing like autotrader/facebook/gumtree/etc, not least because it's private, not public. Anyway enough of all that, I've put a fiver in the kitty too, best of luck with the works everyone AnnoyingPentium, RobT, GrumpiusMaximus and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorpunk Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 If I’ve understood this, it’s going to live with @Angrydicky, right? Can I ask where in the world that would be? Is the car a runner? I have no time and no money but would be happy (if we could make it work) to get some decent pics and write a story on this shite survivor and if it gets published and I get paid I’d be happy to put whatever I make into the communal pot. dome, andrew e, RobT and 20 others 20 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Thanks man. Richard is taking it on for the time being to address the issues and buy me some time. I’ll take it back later in the year I reckon when I’ve got my ducks in a row. I moved house last year but was able to store it where I previously lived, but that’s no longer the case. Dicky knows the car as was the one who pulled it apart and got it through the test back in 2016 - and was one of the initial ‘inFamous Five’ who initially purchased it.

It'll be safe here with lots of other old shite for company. Looking forward to getting back behind the wheel again, it's a lovely old car this one, full of character, and drives very well too. I remember the clutch was slipping, then it seemed to stop, so maybe it was getting some oil on the linings that burnt off with use.

It’s nearly perfect apart from the (brittle, 80s OEM plastic) adjuster snapped. So it’s bodged atm (but brilliantly). Angrydicky and egg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Very good! I did Porlock Hill in it on the old clutch! It didn't slip at all. Almost like it was oily, and needed a bit of use to burn it off. The new clutch was well worth doing though, as we had one. It probably feels lighter now as well. Heaven knows how long the old one had been in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
