Looks good mate, i miss my metro like foook

Some stance pictures for inspiration

Ahh mann. I miss it! lol

[cooperdan]

I told somebody next door that the metro was just to fill in a gap until I can get a decent Mini and I think it must have heard because It wouldnt start earlier! And then I said sorry and it worked fine. I'm a physco.

It wouldnt be Daniel would it?

No worries! I reccomend doing that!

By the time I'd finished outside it was too late for photos (I finished work at 8.30 anyway) But heres some pics.

Just been doing a LOT of cleaning to get it looking nice before I start getting a bit more serious. Lots of stuff to go on, its just about finding the time to be honest. I end up working rediculous shifts (4 hours) which completely stunts any mechanical activity that would have been planned for that day! But then today I did 9 hours

Before rubber strip removal:



After, but before polishing, left side:

Tommorow I'm hoping to completely strip out the interior, give everything a really really good clean and then do some leak testing to detect why my floor pans are soaked.

I have a black GTi carpet set to go in, too. And I still need to get my front brakes fitted... which I may start tommorow depending on how I feel when my alarm go's off at 8 on my only day off

I'm curious..

What's your score on the breakersyard visits ?

I loved the times where we could do that, wondering around a breakers yard looking for nice goodies and parts and stuff.. )

Ohw, and if you really consider Team Dynamics Wheels, let me know, I can probably arrange a good deal for you.
