bought it sheerly because i have a sierra 4x4 set up sat in my workshop from a abandoned 4x4 nova idea and seeing as the 6r4 is my dream car i casually thought "yep, 6r4 rep" and i planned to have a rear mounted 24v cosworth v6 with a mt75 box with a reverse rotation transferbox off of it, full space frame, 4wd, everything.

i really dont have the room/time/money for all 3. Yet, i dont want to part with either of my novas but at the same time i dont want to abandon the metro, even though i hate it in its current state. Bearing in mind the mk2 is nearer completion than the metro, what would you do?! help please! :cry:

We sold a 'mint' g reg metro for about £100 a few years back... How the hell are they worth £500+ now lol

I mean a project will/can wait. Just do one at a time.

Keep all of them, the couple of hundred you'd get for the metro will last 10 minutes probably then your skint and back to square 1. As per Stuart , pick one, finish it then worry about the next 1.

Plus whoever dies with the most toys wins. :)

i feel partly responsible since i encouraged you to get the metro then told you to finish the mk2..
still feeling that selling the veccy and using the mk1 as your daily again is the best idea

Put a 1.8 k series I. The front of the metro a d use it as a run about finish the let rag it flog it then you will have some cash to spend on a decent engine rather than a shonky underpowered v6

24v cosworth from a scorpio ultima is hardly "shonky" or "underpowered" rather put a ****ing vtec in than use a ****ty 1.8 k series

Funk off the Metro, and finish the Nova. If your short of time and money, then are you really going to do this grand plan Metro, or is it just an unrealistic dream?

With 4 wheel drive you will need more than 192bhp to get the thrills of a 6r4

And the reason I said k series is there's loads of them there cheap and it would only be a put on till you built it 4 wheel drive
