I am facing a dilemma about finding an engine and gearbox, There seems to be no metros for sale locally and ebay seems to much of a gamble and too extortionate for prices.

I am after a good engine and box with around 50 k or less on it. I know a lot of people don't want to part with part of their stash so any pointers in the direction of a good engine (or offers of a good engine*wink*) would be welcome.

Thanks

James

Wolfie's your man, I get the impression he hasn't got anything at the moment (stand to be corrected though).

He regularly gets 1275 complete engines. :)

Thanks for that, but it is just a little too far. I am going to collect a whole metro at the weekend now.

Cheers

Here she is, what a beut!

55000 miles and drives lovely, It is in really good nick with very little rust, I'm gonna feel guilty about breaking it now, I will drive it for a while though until the mini is finished before hoiking the engine out.

Based on some of the restoration threads here I may be in for the long haul and have to keep it on the road.

Huge thanks to Jason, Aka butterpoppy for pointing me in the direction of it, if we meet at some point I'll buy you a couple of pints.



Why can't I embed photos from photobucket in the thread, or can I just not see them on my computer?
