I am thinking that it's a mk2 metro.

Looks tidy, what are the planss for it, i am in the process of trying to get my metro turbo finished, hopefully for the summer (but i said that last year).

I have to say I think the metro looks far better on its standard wheels, the minilites on it look silly........

But thats just my view.......

I'm with Tom. The only after market wheels that look good on a metro are the ones JF has.

Tidy looking motor though.

Thanks guys :)

To be honest the look of the car should alter drastically when its lowered and heavilly cambered at the rear. Also better pictures would help it look better.

The wheels are rubbing on the front but ill be 'modding' the arches when i drop it.

Its a sort of metro 'euro look'

Never really liked the metros till around a year ago and they are becoming strangely desirable lol

As for the hearse..... sold it on ebay to a lad in kent who removed the engine and sold it to recoup most of the purchase price and fitted a N/A 1275

1 month later he wrote it off :(

Thanks again guys for your comments. I do appreciate honesty :)

How do you make quotes appear in the boxes rather then a line of text?
