Evening All,

Since finishing my K mini i got rather bored and felt like another project, this is where the metro comes in.



I have a spare 1.6 kicking about so this got dropped out.



ripped the interior out, and removed the sound deadening ready for welding.

Both sills required patchs, both floor pans, both wings. and for some strange reason the rear arches are SOLID!

I have only spent one day on it soo far but i got one wing ready for paint.



and one patch on the inner sill

aswell as debumpering the front

Will be getting the drive flanges re drilled for 4x4" PCD

They bulk heads cant be much different from the rov 100s can it?

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

They're very differrent cars from the front forwards

[Broomer]

If i got a K series in the mini without touching the bulkhead ill sure as hell do it on the metro.

Roll centre 6 point cage will be here in about 4 weeks. did a bit more body work but still alot left.

[Broomer]

Still waiting for the cage...
