I'd quite like a carbed one. If I dont go in the VVC direction with this and get a Mini instead then I'll be on the lookout for a carbed 3 door. Do you have any pictures?

Ha ha ha ah aha ha ha ha.

5 layers of polish and 2 layers of wax brings me here... the best it's going to look until it see's the bodyshop in not too long. The shineyness really bring out the dents in the front quarter panel. I'm tempted to go scrappy hunting for a nightfire red R100 and just grab the front quarters from one for now. If I can find them in good nick that will polish up nice then it will save me a bit on bodyshop work, although it'll still be going to Altered Image for some touch ups anyway.

Good work Craig !

I can understand you're proud of your first car ! :) And proud of all the polishing work.. Can't wait to see the Metro with my own eyes!

Still missing the picture with you smiling, standing next to it ! ;)

It's hacking it down here. If it stops a little later I'll get on the brakes.

A guy down the road has given me an amp, and I think im heading gonna head in the ICE direction with this one. A sub and some 6x9's on the parcel shelf. It sounds great already to be honest, but I'm sure for a little money It can sound better..Hendrix will sound as fine as he ever did :)

Because of the above reason the sportex and de-cat pipe is now for sale... it's way too loud for an 8v. I'll fit the new standard backbox I ordered for the car when I first got it.
