I expect that I will be able to shift quite a bit of stuff from that one Rob :)

On the face of it, not in bad nick but the Cornish tin rot has got to the underside :rolleyes:

Good strong engine, pulls like a demon & is very quiet when running.

I'll get Junior to strip the good stuff from it, I can then tow the rest to the breakers on the ole A frame & bring the wheels back with me ;)

I have never been one to turn away a free motor .... Room in the drive for a Metro if anyone has one they don't want :D

That's what I thought Ash .... Just reading that from the sticker on the air box, not had a chance to cross refference the engine number as yet ;)

Down on the V5 as a GTI & is fitted with all of the original GTI trimmings.

Got a sneaky feeling that it was only the sporty Escort Cabriolets that were fitted with the 130 bhp lump.

Pulls hell of a lot better than the 115 bhp lump that is currently fitted in my build :confused: :confused:
