 Extreme Veteran Posts: 592   Location: kent | Hello all, i have myself a rover 100 kingisher blue kensington aka susan boyle, it was given to me when i was 16 for my first car, was well happy as i wanted to get a metro as there easily modded, its had a few different engines in there inc 1.4 16v spi , 1.8 solid cam, 1.8 with solid cammed vvc head, and 1.8 turbo with the solid cammed vvc head on. but this is how she was when i got her.    then changed the wheels to 6 spokes gta wheels     then changed to body coloured bumpers with a megane splitter    then changed to white mpi's    then too mgf steelies first with black   then white with new set of toyo t1r    thats the last of the wheel whoring for the moment, few pics of the 1.8 turbo in there, not the neatest fit but went like stink   got a 2 1/2" exhaust custom made for it  now on r100_vvc car wanted more power so i took the engine out to sell and buy forged parts to build up a new engine  selling both these sets now, as i no longer require them whilst the engine was out i decided to give the metro abit of tlc so rolled her over bit of paint and changed the front panel as i crashed few years back, also in progress of changing the car loom to mpi with all the goodies on it =D  this is how the old panel looked, note the rover 200 wheel trims for the ultimate sleeper look =D  then after sean - R100_vvc worked his magic on the welding section and painting it looks like this    next weekend should be a very very good weekend for me as i will be collecting another engine for her to be continued........

Extreme Veteran Posts: 592 Location: kent | R100_vvc - 2/4/2012 6:02 PM Daz i will knock some shock mounts up at work unless you want Ralph mounts, when you fit stiffer shocks it will probably start to bend the inner wing. Standard factory shocks are soft which is why they have been fine so far oh i see, well eh guess you just got yourself some work, 2 shock mounts please | ||
