Right i may have managed to find myself another mk1.It is very ropey and rusty and chaved right up but i will get to that if i buy it.Its horrible lol.
The thing is it has melted a piston.i do have a spare engine but this spare i have has a lot of bore wear and i am not totally happy with it.What i really need to know is what pistons can be used in a mk1 block?I am not intrested in forged pistons as they are way to expensive,is they any thing out of another car that will fit in a mk1 block like punto gt pistons mark 2 pistons etc etc bigger the pistons the better really as both of these mk1 blocks will need boring out.what is my cheapest option here?
I have asked before and been told you cant but mk1 turbo piston anymore?What about mk1 turbo piston rings are they availible new if worst comes to worst?
Any help is handy,i have searched but not found out to much yet?
 
There is no direct replacement for Mk1 pistons. You'll need to get creative, look through parts manuals. I've been there and found nothing yet.

Mk2/GT pistons will fit but they are different and you'll need oversize ones anyway which are getting hard to get also.
 
Was it the black one with the 3 spoke curved alloy wheels, and laughable spoiler, that you got?

Was in Gravesend or Chatham, I think.

Yeah, Gravesend, this one: http://www.fish4.co.uk/cars/advert?...ts&offset=1&make=3780&filters=&maxResults=101

Is it as chavved up as it looks?
Thats the one mate lol,i should be picking it up sunday but tbh i am not to worried if the sale falls through or not.
All the side skirts have been blended in with filler into the front and rear wings lol and it is pretty rusty,i am just hopeing it is fixable as its got holes in all the normal uno places as its sat there for 6 years!.I am not looking for a minter anyhow and my last uno had the rat look to it which i sort of liked lol.
I have brought it a bit with my heart and not my head if i am honest but i do have spares laying around to help me fix it.
