    Default Sierra - Help (should i buy)

    ok lads,
    i got so desperarte for a car i went running around the country looking one,
    anyways, went to this lad who sells cars, a bit of a body / scrap / car sales place.

    ok so we were told there was no RWD, but after me and a mate had a look we seen this sierra,


    90, 000 miles,
    sills didnt look bad at all,

    550 pounds!!!!!! (owner died) so couldnt have been abused that much!

    is a sierra with a good shell worth 500 pounds?

    1.8l engine, - one of the valves isnt 100% he says
    cause im thinking of buying it!
    i haggled etc, cause ya have to in a way as they are sly like that, i let on that i had a mate who would come up and look , so he started talkin bout the engine, he says it goes 80% cause of the valve.


    should I????????????????

    its enough for it really,you'd want to get under it and look properly for rust etc... clocks in sierras only read 5 digits so bear in mind that could also be 190,000 miles,if its a 1.8 pinto there as rare as rocking horse shit,its prob a 1.8cvh,shitty enough engine really,tbh your best off leaving it off,you'd find better for the bobs...

    under its ok and interior is good, so it might be 90k miles,
    probs the shitty engine (cvh) , but i suppose its would do the job for a messing around session,
    old man owned it and died , so doubt he would have recked it.


    chop the springs, and weld the diff, that the way forward?
