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). The interior is immaculate. The body and suspension arms are rotten. Are any of the bits eg heater, seats etc useful for ...

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...
