Its having the head gasket change at considerable cost by Rally Matt (a well known person on the MG forums) so in a few weeks will be running like a dream!

I will quite happily pay that mate You will have to let me know nearer the time if you are definately selling it

Any chance of a few more pictures and interior pictures please

Thanks very much

Cool I must say ive never been a fan of green cars but when i saw that i changed my mind That looks really cool

The thing is though i couldnt really add a personal touch to it as its already modified?? Even though it look great i couldnt take credit for the mods

What ya reckon to buy a modded car?? or start from scratch with a standard car??

it would save you alot of money as you will end ud doing similar mods. there are alot of personal things you can add. personally i havent brought a modded car b4 but i would do if it were the right one, however i wouldnt ever buy a car with a modded engine as it has usually been done for one reason - to be driven hard

I'd agree. The mods on mattie's car arent outrageous statements of the driver's personality (as would maybe be the case with an in-your-face bodykit or something) so theres nothing wrong with buying it like that IMO.

The car looks very good, especially with those wheels

Valid point about the mods to the green one It does look great

Im a bit wary as last time i brought a modded car (Escort GTi) I had no end of trouble with it
