So even though my truck is still an on-going rolling project, I've just gone and bought the next one... in the shape of a Rover Metro.
It's miles away, sight unseen, no MOT, no interior BUT it has a 1.8 non-vvc engine thrown in which apparently runs well! So, that might be a plus, at this moment in time I've no idea. Having done a slight bit of reading, this might be either 120bhp or 134bhp (obviously hoping the latter).
I paid the least I have ever paid for a car in my life, I won't give away what it was just yet but will reveal once I start a project thread (provided it makes it that far).
I don't know hardly anything about these cars, I just sorta fancied one. I am wondering what cars share parts, decent places for parts and upgrades, any good forums or FB pages to join, any easy upgrades to squeeze a bit more power, what to avoid doing etc. This one will be staying N/A, I have the truck for turbo noises
If anyone on here has one, I'd love to see it!
The plan in my head is to make sure it's running, sort any welding it needs, lower it over some tiny wheels, throw a couple of bucket seats in it and run it up the local hill climb.
Any advice or whatever would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
