Any my car started life as very basic Rover Metro 1.1c Quest edition which basically means you get nothing, not even a radio !!
When i bought the car it had a very low mileage of 18,000 miles, its now on 30,000 miles.
As i do, the lovely little 1.1 carb engine was removed and i started to go about converting the car to run injection system and give it a good wax-oil underneath. Then once i was happy i set about fitting the K series turbo engine, along with all the Metro Gti spec suspension.
The current spec of the car;
Metro gti interior, suspension (rear cans and ARB's)
MG TF steering geometry inc red band rack
MGF front brake, grooved and dimpled discs with yellow stuff pads
