Especially with the arches being black too.

Hope to get some gloss black during the week and spray the roof and arches next Saturday as this will also need a lot of flatting back to get looking good, will have to template my mk1 windows soon so that dad can send them off to be made in glass, also trying to save for tyres so I can fit my lovely d1 wheels, quoted £44 each fitted, good considering the tyre costs £42 each, going for falkens on my 5x10 as A032's wear too fast and the A008 is more expensive than falkens without any considerable difference. Soon be finished only have 2 months and 24 days till I'm 17

This is a great build thread, and fantastic quality work
Patiently waiting for more details on the front windows

Been bleeding the brake system, sorting out the electrics to run on a bigger fuse box, also have fitted a hiff 38 which makes the car run a lot better, also have cut some areas with the mop

The hiff 38 I picked up for a mere £10

[minimk1]

Took my carb off today to fit new gaskets, also brought a new rh calliper from minispares and fitted this and bled the system, so now i have brakes !!! received my electronic mg metro distributer yesterday so still need to fit this. tidied the garage with my dad and swapped sides, much prefer the lhs of the garage as i have so much more room now.

Thanks the same happened to me, when I got the car I wanted to change the colour to a pastal blue but over time the yellow grew on me and it seems to be a unique colour too which I like

Just read the entire thread after work, taken me about two hours haha!
I am loving it, so great to see how your skills have progressed throughout the build
That yellow colour is proper nice, once the black roof is sorted she will look mint
Keep up the great work
