I thought "thats a gonna for definate" two weeks later my dad had swapped out its entire front end subframe and rebuilt it from a donar front end, when I asked "why the feck did you even bother?" he answered........... "I was bored and wanted to see if I could", two days later he gave it to my sisters mate. and I wonder were I inherited my need to feck about with every whim that crosses my mind with slim to no chance of seeing a return?

Escort Si-130 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 IIRC the Metro, later Rover 100 had a very bad score for Euro NCAP when it came out. This then contributed to the demise of the Rover 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee grout Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Oh no! Well, a little bit more prep needed now before you drop that engine in! How you end up doing that? (Shawdreamer don't say he didn't stop!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etrebus Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) it was by two and four garage just before the exeter sign on the wall think it was opposite lanhearne ,a old bloke walked out in front of the car in front of the one i hit, the one in front of me braked hard(had abs)and just tapped the car in front of him but i couldn't stop just going too fast no excuse no damage too first car i only cracked the bumper of the one i hit but mine is a mess couldn't even drive it as the front panel was wedging the clutch arm down so no drive Edited March 3, 2014 by etrebus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
