Apologies for the quality, but this one stuck in my head after seeing it the other year.  |

I've always loved the simplicity of this one - nothing OTT, just slightly lowered, paint, and wheels  |

Has anyone seen a 2.0td (rover L-series?) engined metro? Been thinking about a base car for a similar conversion and I do love a metro!

Has anyone seen a 2.0td (rover L-series?) engined metro? Been thinking about a base car for a similar conversion and I do love a metro! A few people have looked into it - including myself. Very little space to fit a complete one into a metro. Subframe apparently needs widening by approx 70mm Use the hubs and driveshafts from an mgf (PG1 gearbox, same as the L series) Driver side headlamp backing metalwork apparently gets in the way, so would need trimming back Driver side mount tie-bar would need to be heavily modified - L series item fits on the back of the mount, K series fits on the front. Not too hard, but just another thing to add to the list I'd personally also fit an MGTF hybrid subframe (bits from the front+rear TF subby, to make one good subby) Would be an amazing project - but I've currently got no space for one, and no spare cash for a whole car  So just playing with the L series in my Rover 45. Twin turbo setup, and now the G series engine, which left the factory with a VNT (how this one escaped the factory, we don't know) CAD model of the twin turbo setup I'm working on:  And the VNT on the G series   I'm a bit of an L series "enthusiast", to say the least |

Glad to still see love for the Metro still goes on! When I was 12 I was adamant one would be my first car.....Not sure nowadays I could cope with the limited mod options with the 12 inch wheels etc. The yellow one looks awesome And that striped MG 1300 is so unbelievably 80s.. |
