Hi everyone Hope you are well and busy doing interesting car stuff been meaning to check in for years, but life just got in the way. Currently taking a break in Thailand as been diagnosed with arthritis in my neck. still into cars and bikes big time and still have a thirst for the metro(s) Had this one about four years and its getting there when i can work on it hopefully be finished feb 23 failed mot on no cat and headlights facing high. I listed the car on Ebay for sale but never sold due to timewasters and me basically not giving them an inch to buy without viewing! I really want to sell the car next year and will take another 6r4 project in the Deal. this is not a sales Post, I will post a correct one up when I return to the UK here is the description i used on the Ebay advert which about sums the car up

1984 MG metro turbo 6r4 kitted 4wd 300hp turbo beastie This metro is running the well respected Audi 225 bam running gear full 4wd turbo approximately 300hp This car is extensively modified and running the whole running drivetrain from the Audi,so you get such benefits as abs, ayc, and dsc to keep you safe while hooning around . I will try to have the car weighed this week but guessing around the ton, so will list the spec of the car as best as I can. Full roll cage fitted,not a cheap item and done very very well and ties the whole car together perfectly. JR racing wheels and larger profile tyres to make any road journey that bit more comfortable,this was a conscious choice due to the state of the roads and how firm the car is when driving every day. It has new stance plus Coilovers and drop links all round New vented and grooved disks and new pads all round Powerflex front leg top mounts. no other part is Polybushed on the car New ball joints and track rod ends Remapped to 280+ bhp Full 3" stainless exhaust hand made by the only guy I have ever used J.A.C exhausts in Nottingham and has 3" downpipe fitted, revs very well and is not too loud on start up or everyday use. Brand new Ramair filter, always used these and never had any issues. 72mm intercooler and colour coded silicone hoses fitted at the front Radiator in the rear alloy high flow golf item. Compbrake alloy eight gallon fuel cell behind front seats Fresh paint in Rothmans blue and white including Doorshuts and full Rothmans decals applied recently. Full 6r4 kit fitted and bonded. Front and rear lights are the correct ones for the year of the car. Fully welded front to rear including additional strengthening on the chassis and inner sills This car is rock solid and does not flex, bend, move. Full perspex windows with brand new screen on the front. The car has speed sensitive power steering as per Audi spec of the donor car The car will need some finishing under the bonnet and in the interior,but this is a running, driving, braking and steering car and has been used over the last few weeks to iron niggles out.

Mine would be a good candidate for that treatment. Think space behind the rear wheels would be tight though.

Christ on a stick, that looks well in there, what is that? and looks very well done! Thanks, it is a 3.7 v8 and auto box from an a8 Audi. Everything home made as I am too mean to pay for anything. Have always fancied a 6r4 since my cousin had a copy of one he got in the Borders a long time ago.
