Elite Veteran Posts: 749 Location: waiting to get the car back from edge-performance | Cheers edd I dont think it will ever be as good as it was because of the damage, but I'll at least get it back on the road and go from there. got a couple of snags to sort out and I must have had something on the door sill as it's pickled a bit, So more paint and polishing then I can start the refit nex week. Got a few things missing like the front door cards and the locking wheel nut key, but heyho the end is in sight. gaz44(52) will be back on the road | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 749 Location: waiting to get the car back from edge-performance |  eeing as the last photo's were of the car as i found it after three years, thought i should post what it looks like at the moment on the drive with its new wheels. may eventually get around to it but as i said, one good offer and its gone.

 Member Posts: 65 Location: Barnsley | i will be adding to this thread for you so there may not be much work for the next few months as i will be getting the gear ready to rebuild, the engine crane is on its way so that will be the first thing coming out for refurbishing, the colour scheme is lovely as it is but it may change due to the hard colour match. the roof is either going to be replaced from a non sunroof shell or possibly a bmw mini panoramic sunroof. i have a brm grill which i have been looking into fitting and colour matching but thats unknown yet. all interior parts will be staying pretty much the same for now other than the electric window kit and maybe some led's the major part is the floor, which will either be getting new pans from a metro shell or trying to patch up the best i can, looking at making the front arches the same as the rear etc with coilovers on the front. i have been also toying with the idea of putting the vvc engine in my 1.8 metro and putting a turbo in this. it will all take quite a long time but eventually the car will be baack on the road and visiting the shows again. hopefully gaz44 will be happy with the plans and i will take it town once finished to show him the hard work. thanks for a great project i cant wait to get my hand dirty! | ||

Member Posts: 65 Location: Barnsley | ok so ive done little bits like try to get it started which ended up with 2 flat batteries, no earth and a starter motor nearly catching fire, and try and save the shell, but it looks like it was too late, the welder wouldnt do it due to the amount of rust and holes. the underneath is completely gone and the front has almost come apart from the car its that bad so it was time to just go ahead with a reshell. i managed to find a mint metro rio with just one owner and 28,000 miles, there is no rust at all and just a dint in the boot which wont be needed. anyway, less of the long paragraph, heres some pics      and here is the new money pit, doesnt look like much but will soon be having everything from the purple car on this, not sure on the deseam yet though as i quite like the seam there, first job getting the turrets and arches welded onto the new shell    | ||
