Too lazy to post up all the photos on here, they'd only be img tags to my photobucket, so here's a link to my photobucket album. There's some other albums that might be of interest, or of hatred, like taking the engine out of a mk1 city for a mini, and then scrapping the shell (to be fair it was completely rotten)

Metro Album

The rest of my photobucket, always more photos going up

Location: West Yorkshire		That's a very very rare A series model Hope you restore it to original condition

Don't forget if you do any resprays, take some good quality Hi-res pictures of the graphics as that will be the only way of getting a new set

I will be modifying it for the time being otherwise I'll end up hating the car, then once I'm done with that I'll restore it, whether it's to sell or to keep I don't know. And yeah will be doing so buddy, there's a few that crop up on ebay from time to time but otherwise will probably need to get the re-made.

plan is 4.5cm wide arches and attack the others with a grinder, although I'm gonna put some 175/50's on the fronts first to see if that stops them catching as it roughly matches the standard rolling radius

yeah. 175/50-13 is the greatest wheels for the A-series. I found that mine catched both in the front of the front arch and inside the inner wing where on the plate where your feet are on the other side.
