Proctas Rover Metro GTA 16v

[procta]

after a week we had the car looking like this.


with new discs and pads on the front, new wheel bearings, and clutch.
all wasnt to be tho,
as i was upgrading the rad from a gti one to a derv one look at the sizes derv one is bigger.



while i was bleeding the system the engine died on tick over!!!! :x
had it checked over, died because of bad timing, also it had been well f*cked about with when we came to remove the head bolts. the vvc pick up had been damaged, the headbolts may have been reused and one was well chewed. so the engine was a right off.
so my mate sorced me another one which was a 160 instead of the 143.
then the car was stripped back down again and this engine fitted,
then i got the car insured and moted.
after 3 years of hard work
