27k beauty. nice find, get it as a track car. drain the suspension fluid.

 

[Short Norman]

on my first track day I was sat in the briefing next to an old boy who was going on track in one of those. Although he had put a 1.8 engine in his.

"metty valver"

 

[Poopensharten]

Thats ripe for a motorbike engine

I came accross it whilst looking for peugeot 107's, as you do. I fooking hated them when i was 17/18 but a few years on and i think they are pretty cool.

Love the GTi version's, try and find a mint OE one, never mind one that needs TLC, rare now, my old man used to have a few back in the late 90's, early noughties when you could pick them up for £500'ish in the back off the loot paper lol. Saw a few 130's on the clock on the private runways to

My first car was a Metro, cost £400 quid, 3rd party insurance on it was £450. lol

Or do it properly and machine the rods down

I loved my metro/111. That only cost me £250 from a dealer in Leeds with 47k on the clock. It was absolutely immaculate too apart from the rear rusty arches which are a common fault, but the paintwork was ridiculous.

Was my first engine conversion too! The 1.4 k-series engine was awesome in it, just wish I'd gone VVC as i'd probably still have it.

The only car I'd sell my valver for would be a VVC'd metro. I absolutely love them.

Really doesn't suit white!

Are they hard to come by Dan?

 

[DaveDreads]

Shame they're made of tin foil, I shunted a Volvo at the lights in mine at no more than 5mph, he had one small scratch on his bumper which he went ballistic about, I had two smashed headlights and and bent bonnet, i'd hate to think what would happen if you had a real accident in one, they'd probably have to scrape you out with a spatula and a sponge.

Non rusty ones that have been done properly are rarer than hens teeth mate.

Tbh, I'd settle for a late MPi GTI if a tidy enough one came up.

lmao.

My first car was a 114 Sli as it happens, I went into the back of a woman in a Mk2 Clio at what was probably 10mph tops. She must have not had her brake on because she let the car go forward into a 182 infront of her.

Anyway, her car had scratched paint. Mine smashed the front bumper, bent the bonnet and a hose split on the radiator. Maybe the chassis gets a bit stronger after the bonnet... Wouldn't like to test it though.

 

[DaveDreads]

I used to do 80mph on the motorway in mine.

 

[Adamm.]

Looks terrible. Should be crushed. Don't care how 'exclusive' it is I wouldn't want to be the owner of that if it was 10p tbh.

The gti's are cool as f**k.
