the whole car is going to be spaceframed and the floor rebuilt to allow for the 4x4 gearbox and diff and yea its going to look like a bog standard metro as it will ba a street sleeper :grin: im building it for fun and its a slow wip it doesnt matter to me if it comes to £10.,00 its the funny of building it from scratch and to prove dobters wrong and at the end of it i can say i built it from scratch and didnt get a garage to build it for me
by all means all the best... but to spend 10 grand on a "bog standard looking metro" is just stopooopid tbh.. as yes its faster, handles disgustingly and supprises everyone, but its still one of the ugliest cars made from the WORST metal for rust ever?!?!?! why not put the work into somthing wiht a little more class? metro's are mini's for skint people.. theres a million and one small cars you could do this to and actually build somthing nice.. not just end up wiht a metro at the end of the day
cheers i doubt it will cost me 10k to build as with how much i have done so far i have only spent just over 500 thats for a complete scooby legacy (£70), metro (£120), porker teledials (£250) and a pair of buckets and harnesses (£160), i know i still have alot to buy ie roll cage, fuel tank, dials, sheet steel ect and i am a skint person lol i have always loved metros and now i have one i wana do something crazy with it hock: i know people are gunna doubt me, they always have but it just spurs me on to do more then once its complete it will kinda put them swallow their words
coz it something you would never expect from a metro and it something that would wipe the smile off a boy racers face and off the posh barstards faces with their fancy cars lol :grin:
ye, for a year or two.. same effect wiht any car you throw the engine in.. just saying a metro mechanically is just a poor choice for this build.. the metal the shel's are made of is of DUBIOUS quality.. your choice.. would say itl be worth it in the end.. but its a metro.
