I used to have a slabfront back in the day. Loved it. With a mechanic mates help, managed to shoe-horn a metro mg 1300 engine in her and it proved to be the most fun I've ever had on four wheels.

Except for the time the fibreglass bonnet flipped open doing 70 up the slip road on Gabalfa interchange in Cardiff. That changed the colour of my pants.

There was nothing to touch me off the lights in that thing. Used to shred gearboxes though.

Ahhhh....memories!

Mine has a a MG metro A+ in it  :cool:

I bet it goes like hot sh!t off a shovel!  :grin:

Dont get me wrong people, this site is fairly good compared to others. each have issues. The mk4 section on here is really good and some great members who always help each other. But other parts of this forum are very clicky

ive found on ukmkivs that you dont have to be doing anything outrageous, my car has had nothing special like big turbo or airride but yet the members still comment on it and like the things ive done. But i dont go on sites wanting people to tell me my car is great unlike some members i know and i aint bothered if people copy my ideas as this is something that will happen no matter whether your into the dub, scooby, vauxhall scene.

So dont get me wrong fellow members, i dont dislike anyone on here. Im just saying it aint perfect and none of the other sites are either. If you ask me, join up on both sites mate.
