haha OCD flex's ftl, I'm pissed off with scruffy paint damn OCD flex's I'm ok with filler but as you say you have to be int he right mood/mind for it, my bumpers turned out ok same witht he grilel sive made and they have all had filler, ok only a small amount but its still there :-)

hahahahaha! the WEEK i start driving I'm coming to manc

Dont forget your visiting us lot aswel!!

oops, cant forget you ay

small update to keep this on track, removed more bits ready for welding up tomorrow

Bits welded up so far:

rear wiper hole

passengers side door lock

LHD wiper hole

side repeaters on the turbo wing (offside)

aerial hole (offside wing)

^^ thats teh general condition of all the panels before fillering so they hardly need anything, thats a pic of the aerial hole that was ontop of the offside wing.

like I've said before ALL fillering will be done at once so nothing is filled yet

Thanks for looking

the 10" wheel saga is over..... I've come to the conclusion that 10" would just be to small for wheels on a metro it means i would have to downsize brakes ok the ones i would be putting on would be better than my current ones but the arch gap 's would be stupid, I'm mm's off the floor now i would be through it if i wanted to run 10's with no arch gap

FAIL OF EPIC PROPORTIONS

WANTED: 8x13's ALLOY OR STEEL ANYTHING CONSIDERED, PREFERABLY NEEDING A REFURB

8x13's!!!!!

hahaha, that's going to be crazy! they are still going to stick out of the arches lmao!

Filling lol.. I've given up on it

I haven't touched it since poloshow, pure cba with the thing now lmao.

erm, well the 6's are well in the arches now its had more work, so i reckon abit higher and some stretch and I'm reet :p

yee i hate the stuff, cant get it smooth i am imporving.... its all about practice and patience, both of which i have little of

8's will still look madly wide haha. crazy stuff.

I'm fine with filler if its on a flat surface, but as soon as it comes to curves and whatnot I fail miserably.

Keep seeing metty's now and wanting 1. cheaper to run than a polo, untill it breaks down. Which it will do lmao

haha ye flat stuff is easy curves.. oh no... :p

well I've got 2/3 spare engines and its basically a mini so its fine :-) I'm sure there wont eb much i coudl fix if it fucked up anyway :-)

wing ready for fillering

boot needs more flatting back but is all marked up for filler e.t.c

just a random pic of the arch which was doen with a hammer and yet to be smoothed, its about 2" wider than std

i then tried on some 7x15" mims i had purely to get width and offset ideas, i think this is perfect so I'm going to get soem 13's in this size i think

PIMP! them mims actualy look nice on it :p

oh my!

those wheels look the sex.. cant wait to see it on them when its finished!

The arches are crazy lmao! and done with 1 of my fave tools.. a hammer lmao!

£130 SCORRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! :D :D

Rollcage for the Metro?

thats coming next year making one myself :p keep guessing

Cooper S brakes or 4 pots (something like that) and 10" will go on Eaaaasy :)

mate has them on his mini...only prob is you can only get tyres with hudge profile :(

see post #52

i, I've got alloy mini sport 7.9" non vented calipers (better brake feel than vented) but i just think the arch gap would be huge, I'm on 12's now it sits right and its ON the floor FAIL

i was goingf or wide 10's so i woudl have BIG stretch so the tyre problem is ok for me

its not about arch gap, its how much gap you got between the car and the floor

haha wel if you go back a page or two u will see how much there is on 12's cant get my foot underneath :p

Would guess put you've already told me :-D

i mean, i dont know what it is at all......
