Lord Sterling Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Garycox - How much you looking for the Metro, I might know someone who's interested. Lord Sterling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket88 Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 i'm sure for the same labour of fitting a new engine your son could probably repair the engine or is it really that badly blown? Why not visit a few scrappy's instead of obliterating an otherwise good Metro?Number of scrappies in Jersey=1Number of A series to be found therein=0I wanted to buy something running, as bitter experience has taught me that anything on someone's garage floor claiming to have been "re-built" will have been anything but. Oh, one more for the motor trade saying thread..Satin black rebuild..........Engine rebuilt by magically steam cleaning, and spraying satin blak.

mk2_craig Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Hey Col, I know where there's a couple of inactive 1.3 Metros, might be worth knocking on the door to see whether they run/are available or not, let me know if you're still after an engine.

Rocket88 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Panic over, young sir's engine not quite as banjaxed as we first suspected, although the turbo is fubared, but we're sending that off for a re-build. Couple of snapped piston rings, and the bores need a bit of a hone, but the rest seems ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
