Forums Forums Wanted - Items Wanted : Metro. Desperatly. For a 6R4 rally project.

I need an old metro (boxy one) for a 6R4 project im starting.
It must be the old type (up to G reg) pref with T&T.
I've got most of the parts for the conversion, body kit, engine, mid mountable gearbox ect...
But no car to put it in.
I'm desperate to start.
Wouldn't you like to see a car like this at one of the meets:




Any help would be muchly appriciated.
Paul.

Paul - i know some1 selling one, has no tax or mot and needs abit of welding but going cheap - PM me for more

yes mate, mine is H reg, will that do? As Dazza said it has no tax or MOT, and only needs a tiny bit of welding in the back, but get in touch.

Yours is the later shape, FOOL

I have seen a rover metro converted.

Good luck with it though mate, brill cars

I've never seen a rover metro 6R4, but might be worth a try.

Would anyone be able to do me a photo chop of what it might look like, i've tryed that program and can't get the hang of it.

they look virtually the same, just with different from lights.

Do a light transplant to the older style lights and put a private plate on it? might make it look like the origional then rather than the newer rover shape one

£395 in the garage next to KFC. and its an austin metro.

seen that one, but your meant to be helping me to sell mine, fool lol

So paul, wanna come and have a look ome time? check your pm's.

Its got to be a Austin Metro, Its like attempting to make a RS500 from a ford fiesta, dosnt quite fit if you know what i mean ??

The Metro 6R4 is such an awesome car it has to be converted correctly or it will look like ya grannys backside

these things just arn t right, would give my brown wings for one though

They used the engines from a -gulp- XJ220 (without forced induction).

I recon they should of used forced induction lol

I have seen these things race de-restricted R1 motorbikes and give them a run for their money. 0 - 60 times of less than 3 seconds is possible.

I was reading up on them once, and they were actually going to scrap plans for the metro 6r4 and build a maestro 6r4 as they were bigger and could handle the power better.

Fair play to you, if you build this you will, IMO, have the best modded car about.
