Shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure you get a receipt from the scrappy. You'll then need to get proof of engine age for the SVA
emissions test. DVLA will give you a Q plate if there is no donor logbook, but will still want to see the receipt to satisfy themselves that the donor
parts aren't nicked.

Wont cause you any problems at sva time, it will just mean that once you come to register your car you will definatly get a Q plate.
Oh and welcome to the mad house!
What engine are you going to be putting in?

Give it a miss - still relatively easy to finding a Sierra that's still on the road.
SVA no problem - not an issue
But it's when you come to register it for an age related plate, it'll be easier with a log book, chassis plates etc etc.
Good luck.

Wecome to the nuthouse. Whatever you do, make sure you go for the bike engine.

If you want to, you can always take off the two identification plates by the bonnet release and (this is more difficult ) cut out the chassis number
which should be stamped on the floor at the driver's right side.

Like Chris says.
Have a look on our website. It should give you some idea of how a BEC goes together.

You'll get a sprocket adapter from MK (or most of the manufacturers) that will connect the bike engine chain sprocket to the prop shaft - dead
easy to do.
If you haven't been out in a bike enigned car before, make sure you do so before deciding which engine you want - the performance is astounding!
