leigh Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Here's a little inspiration for you buddy (same metro as in above pic): http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=35846&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Jesus that is awesome. Wish parts were that easy to get around here. I need: 4 Matching rims. Radiator Thermostat Misc interior bits Probably a gasket set (Haven't inquired at decent places yet though) And someone to pump up/down my suspension (Anyone here have a gun?)

durty Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 would a radiator from a civic or something fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Not sure aye. Could always do some loose custom brackets/pipes and make it fit haha. It'd need some retro as wiring temperature gauge shit. It's probably the trigger to turn the fan on. So I'd just set that up to a switch. I can get diameter of radiator. But other lol story first. Just got a letter that it may be of interest to the cops, stolen etc. The guy I got it off said it was stolen about 2 weeks ago, and got recovered, hopefully thats the case. If it doesn't get sorted there's a 1300cc austin engine/box for sale I believe this is the radiator: £94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelJFox Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Chuck a scarf around it and be done with it. Got my hands on a not dented hood, and a matching set of the front 12" steels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiemk Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 i have a mint metro here at mine, if you cant be fucked with this sell me plates please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Guessing de-rego'd? Gutted, when I'm sick of this I'll be selling the car whole I think mate. Mini enthusiasts pay quite a bit for the engines/disc brakes, etc. Has the suspension stayed up while its been parked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiemk Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 i think so? its all level so either slammed or good height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelJFox Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Put a new headgasket/rocker cover gasket/blah blah, all gaskets in today. Gotta drop the oil and fix the timing (by ear cos i dont have cool tools) and adjust tappets, sweet. Seams to have stopped being a gaycunt at overheating for now.

Goat Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 suspension isnt nessessary. hah Also, metros are so tite. Always wanted one laying frame on some widened 15s or something. So ugly but so cool at the same time Should get a reliant kitten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'm not sure if you'd get 15's under it I'm defffffffinatly looking at some widened steels at some point, 4x100 with a larger than honda centre bore. Also, never heard of the kitten, but liked what I saw on google just then. Those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Thats the one. Cept not so v8ish. hah 15s with no profile tires. win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJFox Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Would if I had the cash. Was just at Strong Bros, guy is far to by the book to have it low but off the bump stops, so rollin' factory height haha. So bus-spec. Yet equally as shit to drive.
