tom if this makes you feel miles better, i have shoved well over 2.5k into the metro and i still need to sort the bodywork out.
Lol, I don't think anything would make me feel better about how much I've wasted. I know over £500 of that went into the turbo/oil pipes/gaskets/2nd oil and filter change though. :|
how about 500 quid on an engine that turned out to be f*cked, a converted engine loom that was 50 quid that had a major electrical fault. over 100 quid spent on parts to convert the 1.4 16v engine that was in it to mpi ( inlet, ecu, engine loom) that i didnt even need to do! people telling me to mpi the car 1st as it makes it easier to vvc. which was a load of shite as i only used two fuckin hoses that was already on the car! laugh is i could have made them up if needed be too.
then a another 570 quid for replacment engine and another converted loom.
