Looks like a days work to replace motor and door and pull out and paint sill. :!: How did the rock/tree wreck the sill AND the engine?
It's a bit hard to tell from the pics but if the body is as clean as it looks I'd be repairing it not dumping it.

Hi, did you buy this car from hurstbridge? I'm pretty sure this is the car. i was looking to get it. he had it in the trading post for 3.5k. then i called and he said it was sideswipped and he blew the motor all in a matter of weeks! hard luck :(

He told me he wanted about $900 for it which is a not bad price considering the gear it has on it :)






P.S Hi all, this is my 1st post on the forum :)

So i'll just say hi, names Andrew. still looking to buy my 1st sierra.

Can you open and shut the door?

Will you be using it for wheeling?

If it opens and closes to be hounust i would just keep it! :oops:

Thats why I said REPLACE the door and PULL OUT the sill. That little dent in the quarter will pop when the sill is pulled out.. It is only tin.
Panelbeating isn't hard but it does daunt the inexperienced.
