I'm stripping my old 1.3 Felicia GLX estate of anything that may be useful on my 1.9 diesel. There's not much mechanical that'll go across. I've had the front bumper, bumper beam as that got kinked and the front foglights and switch. I've taken out the sunroof as the other is glued in, had a front speaker to replace a faulty one and the light out of the boot as it's the good old switched one.

I'm scratching my head what else to take to make this worthwhile. The other car already had the front struts done so no point getting those. The old one has newish rears too but if I take them I can't shift it about and it may be more difficut to send to scrap.

Anyone any suggestions? :confused: The heater matrix is fairly new but they're not the same as the diesels, starter motor too.

If your just sending to the scrapper - take out all of the bulbs and maybe aerial, headlights (for spares)? Worth taking the tool kit out and maybe spare wheel? What about the tyres / wheels etc - worth swapping over?

Swapped the wheels and trims over from the Felly

boot struts

Strut brace although I haven't fitted it to the Favorit yet

I want to keep the front struts though as they were new

Snapped an aerial before being clumsy with a canoe but I still didn't think of it. I may take out the light clusters complete. Boot struts is probably a good one and easy too.

Windscreen is chipped but is the rear screen easy to remove and refit? More of the heater bars work on the old one.

I think most of the tyres have had it, she's been on seconds from the other car for some time. May grab one spare for the wheel though as we've bent them on the potholes round here before.

Thanks for the pointers, it's got me thinking again.

I scrapped an old Fiesta a few years back. I removed all the bulbs, fuses and the battery.

Saved me all of about £10 but I haven't been short of fuses for years.

gearbox, wiper motor, mirrors,

all the small and easy stuff that breaks!

has it got a strut brace? i'll buy that off ya for a start

I stupidly assumed the gearbox would be different given the extra power...looks the same though, is it? The diesel is starting to whine just a bit sometimes so that's got to be a possibility.

Last car I did this with I undid all the connections from the engine/gearbox to the car then lifted the car off the lot and wheeled it out. I still have the engine and box sat in the front subframe, complete with wheels and steering rack sat in the back of the garage five or more years later. I got rid of the car I intended using it in long ago.

No there's no strut brace. You could have had it if there had been as the other's got one already.

IIRC, The ratios are slightly different, but they will swop

Seats will easy swap and good to do if your current one's are higher trim level. Not sure on fusebox instrument panel etc but i'd keep them anyway if only for bulbs fuses and relays. Washer bottle with pumps, coolant bottle and such other little bits :-)

washer pumps are a good one, as they fail sometimes.

the box is the same one, but with an adapter plate. someones looking that adapter plate on some forum i'm on, cant remember which one though...

...i'd keep them anyway if only for bulbs fuses and relays.

I took the fog lights and the switch, checked the plugs and wiring are on the other car and thought no more about it...until I saw your post. They'll need the relay:O

Thanks

Starter motor's the same, right? I had a new starter motor last year on the 1.3 so if it's the same on the diesel that's coming off.

Had a new heater matrix too but they are different.
