hello

well after trying to get this car for ages(over a year)i finally did.and now i ahve to sell it due to be becoming redundant and christmas e.c.t is here.

its a

1983

mk1 austin metro

auto

24,000 miles

its a light green colour with brown interior in rearlly good condition.my origial plans where to have it as a fast road car but not i ahve no funds so this would never get completed. i completely striped the interior and cleaned under the carpets e.c.t only to find one tiny little pathch of surface rust under the drivers side carpt the size of a 50p.the put it all back together.i also put the car on the ramp in the air at my old work to find a very solid underside no nasty holes e.c.t and the axel mounts are solid as a rock.the old mot ran out in nov07 where it had been stored in a barn until a few months ago when i got it.i removed the rear wiper but i still have it and the rear badges.i also took the stero out and the speaker as it didnt work.and the glove box as it was broken.not the end of the world but best to be honest.the front valence has had abit of welding and there is some rust on both front wings.the sills are rear arches are fine.small dent on the bonet.and one bumper corner is missing of the front.I've also striped all the bits of the engine cleaned and painted some and put it all back together and it looks rearlly nice now.the auto box judders when going forwards but is fine in reverse I'm lead to believe this is not to hard to fix.I've tryed changing the oil which did help slightly but not completely.

overall this is a great little car and solid for a metro i was rearlly suprised.i still haven't had a chance to give the whole car a polish and wax but it would shine nicley for sure.

I've replaced the oil and rocker gasket and the engine doesnt leak oil or used water e.c.t.all it would need for a mot is the gearbox sorted and what a great little motor it would be.the hydrogas it all still in the system and hasnt leaked out.

I'm after what i paid for it which is £200 but i think i paid a little much so I'm open to offers.

its located in suffolk at nr337sq in kessingland.
