Cheers

Ha Ha! yeah, I refurbish, service, repair and sell laptops and accessories and have quite an overstock of older laptops at the moment so i thought i'd offer them around on here as they are not the latest machines so not worth me selling down the normal channels.
Must admit, im going to miss seeing the cueyyyyyy updates on here once its gone

Ahh nice little PLug i led you into there Ben 
(you're welcome 
)
Yeah is going to be a gap on my updates but more time for the mk2 and Checkmate i guess (done abit on that B-post but not worth the effort of pictures yet)
No doubt i'l find something else project wise to fill the gap, i,ve been thinking of making an A-series block out of aliminium for a while now so "Watch this space)

THIS THREAD WILL NOT DIE A DEPRESING DEATH!!!!!
Seeing as im selling Cuey its become quite sadening yet im determined to keep up the happyness so i'l be doing work on him till the day he's sold! :)
So first things up, get that ugly spare wheel off and replace all the chrome trims and hubcaps after a good clean up by hand...
BEFORE:
AFTER:
As you can see it looks ten times better no i think but cuey's decided to litraly park its arse on the ground 
So....that needs sorting.
Also fitted the replacment bumper i bought for £30 as the other was bent due to the bump:
Next job is to strip and clean both front and rear bumpers and prime,paint in black, still un-decided on wheather to go shiney black or matte black, opinions ?
Cheers,

I'm gald you are keeping it up. It looks ten times better in that second picture. Really does clean up a treat.
As for the bumpers. I say Matte black for sure as i think gloss can look a bit tacky. Cant wait to see them done.
I really hope it goes to someone who will look after it and finish it off well. I would have it if i wasn't so damn far away!!
Good luck

Ahh yeah is sad to see it up for sale so i'm keeping myself ocupied with it and doing something productive with him aswell at the same time.
Yeah thats how they came originaly so good plan, although the other bumper a painted to protect from rust looked quite good to be honest (few pages back i think) i,ve no idea haha bad with making decisions 
Yeah definatly hoping a loving owner comes along Ben, and yeah about 600 miles plu a ferry is quite a way , no doubt the A-series would make the journey with ease
Thanks Ben,
Cliff
(P.S. Deep down i hope no-one buys it Ahhhrg :s)

Hahaa yeah i know, need to ask my mate if i can borrow his old mans pump again , shame theres so little clerance, i kinda like the look
Looks nice mate, as for the bumpers, satin black looks best, matt doesn't look quite right, but satin is perfect as that's what I did mine in, n looks spot on
Cheers Lewis, Yeah i'l definatly get them satin black, will blend alot bettr with the end caps aswell
Thankyou Guys,

Metro's are the new mini's for some all have you know! 
Aww, shame it's going
Hi Nath, sorry about not seeing your reply earlyer...
Yeah it's sad to see it up for slae/swaps but needs must i guess.....
Well yesterday i got some metro time finaly and needed to get re-furbing the rear bumper as its got some surface rust thats been growing recently so took it off and started cleaning it back to bare metal...
When i got this bumper i saw it was rusted on the inside but didn't have the itime to re-furb fully like im doing now so sprayed the inside rust with zinc primer to try my best and stop the rust spreading nad flaking off onto the metro..
Finally after a 10-15 minute struggle i got the fog lights and reg lights un-screwed!
Inside
Outside
There are various areas of corrosion, namely the surface ares aroudn and under brakets, so i'm going to remove the brackets and re-make out of 2mm sheet steel and spot weld back in at a later date...
Worsed effected area
Until thats done this is how the metros staying..
("Low and stripped!")
