What is that 106 running? Looks standard... but the Simota induction suggests otherwise and I suspect it could be a 206 lump and not an original 106 lump... it just doesn't look right!

Loving the Monza :)

What are the popular options for a Metro? The Mrs has a J reg Metro and I'm sure she'll want to upgrade soon, and it's not worth getting rid of. I'd like to make a little project out of it for my own learning perposes. It's done naff all miles too, has a bit of body rust etc. Not mint but a good example. Seems a waste to throw it away when shes done with it.

Strip EVERYTHING out of it and fit a 1.8 K-Series, bigger brakes, 15" rims and sticky rubber.

Then, if you feel up to it, fit a supercharger ;)

Thats a very nice early Splitty. Really clean deluxe chrome work, just a shame is not a 23 window as its using the traditonal samba colours.

I thought they were brown over sealing wax red?

That's black over a generic red.

He'll come and shout at you! :D. Any external pics of the red Mk1 Capri with the V8 at the start of the thread mate?, and where the bloody hell are all the Mk1 Escorts?.
:D
 
Just found out that the beige snotter 4-door Scrote isn't the same beige snotter 4-door scrote that I was thinking of; belongs to someone else :)

Ade put his car on the rollers and said it needed a little more horse power, so here you go fella, only another 48 to go!

Last time I went to LPS I left a puddle of oil between the rollers (I did warn them :D), was it still there?!

Only RR I've seen with two solid rollers rather than two pairs of two short ones. Makes for good spray when you drip oil onto one ;)
