The full works got binned this after noon. Lads i did offer the full smash to two people, one was on the metro owners club ( He was going to reshell it) the other to an mg metro cup driver for parts for two racing cars. One couldn't get a transporter, the other bailed out due to it not having the correct gear box but failed to tell me this, i only found out after i belled his pal enquiring what time he was arriving so i wasted a full fuckin day, that i could have been out with a pal or looking over the new car.
So i have said f*ck it i am weighing the full works in, why should i keep a car that people want but will not push hard enough to come and get it. If matt or piggy were serious you two would have been PMing me like mad.
matt, i threw 2k at sorting this engine out, and again it still would not play ball. Only so much you can throw at a car or at anything, then you going to have to say enough is enough here. The car did start to have electrical problems on both looms, the head started to week oil, again we would have had to strip that to fix that problem again. even though we did not rebuild the head. This one really had turned into a basket case,
danny I know its a waste i tell you i have blew well over 10k easy, i could have bought my landy or a TD5 version out right for that. If people are not going to push hard enough to come and collect it, then why should I keep a car that's taking up space on my dads drive way.
All i can say about this one, it was a successful failure,
Cheers lads for following this one, even though it wasnt as popular as the GTA 16v. In the end its time to move on, nearly 10 years in the metro project. Spares and the cars are not that easy now to get hold of which is a shame.
I have not ended on bad terms with metros, but sadly i have ended on bad terms with this one. Also i have out grew them now too.
