They were always an incredible little car, pocket rockets even in 998 form and many a mile spent bombing around the streets of London or thrashing up the motorways in one and the engines were a doddle to work on, half hour head gaskets and you could make one out of a bit of sheet copper and be on your way and none of the thousands of pounds a HG costs these days. I was also fond of the Metro, esp the MG ones and I had for ages a standard MG Metro in the red which was immaculate inside and out and got nicked and smashed up, was so broken about that :( I drive as my daily driver a three wheeled Robin which is just like an old Mini with the same dials, controls and a fair bit off the Mini hehe

My sister used to go with this kid in high school who was the son of a wealthy Waco, Texas banker/cattle rancher who owned a huge working cattle ranch outside of town. They had 2 modified VW buses there with open bodies, that had been professionally built with 2 rows of bench seats and roll bars. We used to tear around the expanse of the ranch in them. They were light and strong, and the suspensions were almost indestructible. We tried to break them but they were tough.

Good advert for Kilar. Impressive kit.

If you keep that front bumper from the cut up van , sand it , and paint it , You could build a killer VW inspired half round bar top ! No joke , that would look cool and sell for a few hundred extra bucks . Even cut and keep the headlight face panel and paint it for the front cover of the bar . Wire the " headlights and turn signal lights " ( to something that just plugs into 110 volt ) Price just went over a thousand bucks back .
