hehe did i not tell you how to do the welding properly??
give me buzz wen ya get a chance.. im outta credit
your car looks mad with those wheels on it the metro looks good wit the sports pack wheels too ..

steven

That is some of the best hen sh**e welding I have seen in years,are you trying to weld with the gas turned off or are you trying to weld over dirt.

hahaha brilliant reply aiden.... didnt realise it but the gas had ran out.... opps..... lol

sportspacks deffo suit the metro

finally got my finger out today,

its outside, and on all fours... the last 2 months or so time has been scarce and also enthusiasm... lol

all the windows are back in to seal her,up, but i had to put the old w/screen rubber in as i cant seem to find the new one i got anywhere... about half of my hen doodoo welding is ground down and primed.

theres still plenty to do, change the gear linkage, find out why she is'nt charging, plumb in the fuel lines, put on the new slave cylinder, weld up yet another hole, tighten all the water holes and check the 2n'd hand rad for leaks... and then crak on and get the car prepped for paint, oh and paint the wheels... the list goes on lol

i'll get some pics up later when i get back inside...

There is someone scraping a metro on MR.

seen that i need to give him a shout... think i have everything i need to finish her but theres no harm in having spares

get them pics thrown up

woops forgot to take em....

come on get some pics up!!!

a few pics as promised....

i think it actually looks pretty cool... for a metro...







theres only 2 holes left... lol just have to spray a little he doodoo on and bobs your uncle!!!!





interior is still gutted but theres f all in putting it all back in... just want to get all the work done first, and my dos are obsessed on getting into it... there even fighting over who gets in first!!!!

oh and alot of grinding aswell to come lol

ye done with rattle cans. matt black... it could do with another coat on the roof and bonnet... but overall i think it looks pretty good for a 30quid paint job... i'll prob get it sprayed with a gun later down the line when funds arnt so scarce...

i cant seem to find those biscuits anywhere...
