Always wanted a metro gti, having once owned an mg. I stumbled across a one owner from new, low millage, little old lady car, back in 2017 and immediatly started collecting parts.

Updates so far, include a set of refurbished mpi gti alloys, metro gti front n rear seats. And upgraded the radio. This weekend fitted mgf cooling system. Now just refining plumbing, its a bit close to the manifold.
