Re: 1993 827 Sterling - THE VULTURE LIST
Due to a change in circumstances Project Shitesse is being broken for spares next month.
I wanted to run Sportsman ET Drag racing and in the last Race meet before it's MOT runs out my plan was to fit my mates 300hp Nitrous kit and see how much she could take before trailerering her home.
However not many (read NONE) of the insurance companies wanted to know about such a modified vehicle at my age...
Therefore she is now SORN'd and off the road ready for me to break up next month.
I am keeping:
Gearbox
Fuel filler neck
Expansion tank
Window Regulators + switches
Front wings
Fog/cruise/washwipe buttons
Cruise control (entire)
What it does have that is unique:
Polybushed front suspension - complete
285mm carriers, calipers and discs all in very good nick.
High Compression version of the 2.7 V6 - it does go like the proverbial!
What is has that is broken/worn out/ knackered
Dampers
ABS sensors
Air con (no idea why it's broken but it is)
Body panels - all are crap - either full of rust/dents/deep scratches
Shell (Rotten)
Rear calipers (failed completely)

Re: 1993 827 Sterling - THE VULTURE LIST
Been there a few times.
Nice crane, very handy to have. Top tip someone gave me was to reduce the number of links on the chain for better clearance etc.
Did you split the box off before or after taking them out?

Re: 1993 827 Sterling - THE VULTURE LIST
Yup, my neighbour is awesome, he has a whole stash of kit he lets me use.
Split the b'ox afterwards, pulled the whole lot in one go, no issues other than realising one has to remove the oil filter before the engine will come out...
One subframe bolt was a pain, the steel around the captive nut had rusted to the point where it was just dangling in fresh air. However it wasn't enough to make it fall out on it's own. Cue much cursing with an angle grinder and a sawz'all! Bit brutal but worked!

Re: 1993 827 Sterling - THE VULTURE LIST
I must be that neighbour round here then?
Just checking. It will come out with the filter on at the right angle. Though I did have a few more practices than you.

Re: 1993 827 Sterling - THE VULTURE LIST
Maybe
It looked like it would but we were wrestling with no load leveller and just a strap between engine lifting eye and gearbox eye. Easier and faster to whip it off and yank the lump out.

Re: 1993 827 Sterling - THE VULTURE LIST
I agree.
Is it still Mo's engine that was in it? The one Alex had off me?

Re: 1993 827 Sterling - THE VULTURE LIST
No idea, supposed to be a Mk1 High Comp one. How can I tell the difference?

Re: 1993 827 Sterling - THE VULTURE LIST
No idea if I'm honest physically.
I guess the engine number would be a better bet?
Though I never saved it to compare.
Just looking through my old pics for any give away for identification but nothing stands out.
Just curious that was all. Not really important tbh.
