Hi all
I am starting on a journey to restore a MG Metro Turbo and hoping some of you guys can point me in the right direction, I am stripping down at the moment and uncovering RUST....
My turbo needs some repairs to floor and other bits, where do I get replacement panels from I have seen some floor panels on Ebay but where do i get the strengthening pieces that are fixed under the floor.
I will obviously need a lot of bits and not sure if they are available it would be a shame not to get this car back up and running in mint condition as they seem a very rare sight.
Hope someone can shed light on panels etc
many thanks Tim

Thanks for the comments
I would like to put pics up and show progress for anyone who is interesred but wondered how you keep track of a post on this forum, I have used the mini forum in the past and all your posts are logged in your control panel so you can track them.
On here unless I am being daft does not seem to have that function
someone needs to point me in the right direction lol..

Thanks Scot the joiner I may well need one of those panels as visually my car is in a bad way around the fuel filler area,
I am hoping to get it to a bare shell asap so I can get a good look at all that is needed
many thanks
