Profile etc

Where is profile?

How do I change username/password/ email address in real time?

Rover metro bits useable?

Forgive this basic question, i am new to the forum and Moggies. I am about to scrap a 1994 Rover Metro 4 Door 1.4 Diesel (Standard Peudeot engine, replaced by the 1.5 in 1995/6).

Newbies 65 convertible - advice sought

I got a 65 convertible for restoration as a practical reliable runabout. Not a hobby or concours restoration i am afraid. It needs to do 50 country miles a week for 3 to 4 years with just basic servicing. It arrived 3 years ago as a rolling chassis with a non-original engine and several boxes of bit...
