lol it sounds worse than it is i love the lil guy (well hes a bout a foot taller than me now so i have to!) and i always make him chew his food so there was no real danger:Jawdrop:
You pair of bar stools, you're both the same height, about bar stool height funnily enough Kettles on, this tea thing was a good idea, I'll get the hang of it soon... :smile:
You have to agree, he is right to call it a Scooby replica... Scooby-Doo was an unreliable dog owned by a whacked-out dope-head hippy - so in that way he's spot on ! But seriously - WTF ? It's not a "Subaru replica" - it's a Rover 620 (ie a shit-box) covered in blue paint and Subaru stickers... Sad-act !
I was going to start by saying it's the wrong body shell (seriously, a five door 6R4?), but tbh, what's the point? It's just a complete shit-heap... That man needs psychiatric help - lots of it and soon !
The 6R4 was based, very loosely, on the MG Metro. There never was a five-door MG Metro. The bodyshell was built around a spaceframe using 16 Metro panels and 347 specially made parts. http://www.mgownersclub.co.uk/mg-guides/saloons/mg-metro-6r4 http://www.6r4.net/site/6r4-build-story Incidentally, the three-door and five-door Austin/Rover shells were both exactly the same length - 3403mm. http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/facts-and-figures/austin/metro/hatchback-1981/dimensions/ I didn't make that up
a panel beating mate of mine made a good replica of a 6r4 with a highly tuned A series engine in it. quick as up to about 60 but would not do much more because of down draft. just saying. :smile:
From my experience "highly tuned A series" equates to "extremely short engine life followed by expensive engine blow-up"... Basically an engine designed to make 34bhp and never very happy making much more than that... (Cue a hail of "my mate had a 1430cc 150bhp Mini that was 100% reliable" comments...)
he never had it long enough to blow it up,unless it was a traffic light GP being over taken by standard metros on the open road was just to much to bare. sold it within weeks of completing it then written off within days of the sale.
