WANTED:- MG Metro !!!

cabbers · 27th November 2011, 22:06

Hi, a friend of my called kyle as asked me to post on here for him.

He is after a MG Metro and he was wondering if any members have one that they want to sell or know someone that as one for sale.

He would prefer one that is in good running under but tax and m.o.t are not important.

He also said the condition of the body is not important.

*He said it as to be the MG Metro, he is not interested in the Austin/Rover Metro*

If anyone can be of any help could you please pm me or a drop a message on here and i will pass your details onto him.

Like i said this is not for me, its for my friend so i am limited on what i can do.

Many Thanks

Would it be for the engine to put into a mini?

no he has this silly idea of putting the engine out of a mgf into the mg metro, he has the mgf engine but all he needs now is a mg metro

Popular engine conversion for the Metro is to drop a VVC engine in,they go like stink then

yeah they am like a little go-kart, he has done it before but he used a rover metro, but he wants to do it again now but he said it as to be a mg metro this time.

doubt it will last long dow as he wrapped the rover metro around a tree within a month, he bought a mini about 2 weeks ago and he wanted me to do it up but its gone to far, i mean he only paid £50 for it and its not even worth that so like i said he has gone back to the metro idea

he but an engine out of mgf in a rover before so is the mg metro different ???

Yeah there vastly different. The mgf is basically to metros welded together. The mg metro is a big mini. The mg metro isn't wide enough to accept the k series. You can buy custom subframes, but there's more involved. What I'm trying to say is it can be done, but it's no walk in the park like the rover version
