Metro 1.1 engine found...
hey guys the other day i came accross an old metro sitting outside a farm, asked the owner what their plans were wit it besides her 2 dogs living in it...
she is willing to sell it.
it is a 1.1 litre 91 metro which belonged to her deceased aunty.
there is 47k miles on it.
now, me wanting a new engine i am just wondering does anyone know exactly what is involved in an engine swap??? what i have heard from day one sincew i got my mini a metro's engine should be a perfect fit and straight swap. is this true??
well i need to buy any new parts???
any advice much appreciated
