Right there are a few metro threads on here so I thought I would start one for the latest project.
I got this car though Tanya on here so first of all I need to say a massive thank you!
Anyway my Girlfriend is currently rocking about in a 1994 1.1 rover metro casino.
She loves it to bits but has always wanted a older A series one.
Anyway thursday night I got a message from Tanya saying that there is a 1 lady owner, garaged all its life Metro up for sale near oxford for £200 although she did not know if it was as good as it sounded. I told Molly and she was very keen as well. The lady had passed her away and the house was being sold and her Daughter did not want the car.
Worth the punt so Friday morning we headed up to take a look. The car was at a guys house and he was at work but he left the key in it and told us to help our self.
Here is what we found.
WOW it really was as good as it sounded! and with only 13,000 miles on the clock.
On closer look me and my mate Rusty (Who I always take to look at car as he's as picky as I am) spotted to crusty bits but they should wire brush down fine.
As you can see there the floor is wet as the windscreen seal in mullered. But as the car has been garaged all its life and has only been left out for a few weeks since the old lady house was sold the floor as really good so I will get that seal done as a first job!
The only other issue is the broken headlight which she did driving in to the garage one day.
I am looking for a replacement is anyone has one.
Anyway after looking at the car we headed over to the guys work had a chat haggled a bit and picked the car up for the sum of £150!
So this morning my mate Mike has done me a huge favour and gone and picked it up with his truck.
He is doing some bits to his mini van at the moment trying to get it done for L2B but hopefully will be dropping it round tonight.
Only plan is to tidy it up and fit some alloys as my mate as a set of wheels which i think are this type laying around.
I think they will look nice on there.
But that is pretty much it. Me and Rusty will be doing most the work and if its done at time Rusty is gonna insure himself on it and take it to the IMM as he does not have a mini any more.
I'll get some more pics as things happen.
Thanks.
