well nots urehow to put this but work has oficially stopped... ive bought a mk2 1.3 metro.. and no it isent getting wripped apart to be put in the mini... its preety damn clean so theres no rush atall to get the mini done now ive got this sorry people:

[twiggy]

[Elisha-The-Cooper]

[Dan1991]

That Metro looks proper cool.

Any more infomation/pictures?

[MINIMON]

the exhaust i was planning on putting on it was the carbontec one ive got for the mini BUt it doesent fit so im going to go to my local exhaust dude (exhaust god in the VW scene) (www.pipewerx.com) and get him to make me a ss system.

the interior pics are abit poor as i fitted my chrome and wood steering wheel which i really dont like in it so thats coming out but ye i do have sone

and information... hmm well its done 30k miles preety damn solid only bit of welding its had is a 2" square patch on the offside rear sill and well thats about it really ? EVERYWHERE else is bob on, oh actually tell a lie the nearside wing is rotten on the bottom rear but it insent an MOt fail so its ok for now erm... cant think what else to say really...
its got the usual vented 8.4's front arb its a rare silk metallic green and its completely original!

it had bonnet vents and a rear spoiler when i got it but i think i prefer it without both so im going to plug up/ weld up the holes in the boot for the spoiler
anyway heres a few more pics:

[MINIMON]

oh one thing i forgot to say was the front outer drive flanges will be getting swopped for my powder coate dmini ones so i dont have the lugs like the std metro ones have and this will mean i can remoe the front spacers and will reduce the front track so the wheels will be in the arches (well i hope so anyway)

not sure what else will fit on underside wise, ive got 99% of the things from my mini lieing around doing nothing and there all top quality performance parts either brand new or refurbed so i wouldnt mind fitting some of them if i knew what fitted ? lol

[1977 Loud_Mini]

Nice metro you got there! The wheels look like 10" revo's but i can't reallt tell. Anyway they look great on the car. I prefer minis though, i have a 1977 mini in nearly almond green with white roof and 10" revo wheels, oh and bodykit and dtm exhaust. Needs a bit of welding in floors though

[MINIMON]

nice mate, naa there 12" im thinking about getting the 8x13'' race split rim revos though, the drop down to 10's would be good but ground clearance would be non existant as currently i can JUST stand my key up underneath the subframe.

your joking... arent you?

Unfortunatly not, the welding that has been done is AWFUL, if i knew it was so bad i wouldnt of bought it thats for sure, its been covered with a tonne of filler and the whole seamed section (where its been removed) has been smashed in a LONg way so it can be fillered, the amount of filler required to fix it would be a waste and a stupid amount of money and weight.

all the panels are here to be welded in but the current deseaming is the worry... im not sure i could chop it out and redo it either as its been done once already so taking more out would mean a wider strip to weld in therefore more filler and that isent what im wanting as its a stupid amount of weight being added.

i want that metro,would look mint if it was lowered,good work with the mini,GO METRO'S

lowered you say... how about all the way down and resting on the bumpstops
