Not posted this here and thought a few may be interested to see my Metro GTI project.
I bough the car about 2 years ago with the conversion already done as it was cheaper and easier than getting all the components, engine, shell etc and it was hard to finding a black or white half decent GTI. after 8 months or so of driving the car it went for an MOT, i knew there was work required to keep her structurally sound but didn't expect to have to do a full strip down.
Heres the car after she was tidied up and I got her looking fairly acceptable, with the addition of a Z+F remap to accompany the straight through exhaust, janspeed manis and induction. Still on the 65 box made it mental up to about 70 mph

Current Mods:
160vvc engine
Mgf bottom arms
K&N airfilter
Avital alarm
Sportex cat back including the decat
Janspeed manifold
FSE power-boost valve
Lowered and individualized
Uprated rear ARB droplinks
Yellow band steering rack
AX center console
And hers she is now, should be ready for the summer if all goes to plan. There will be lost of upgrades which will get updated as the thread progresses. After the dodgy work on it in the past no expense is being spared on making this a an very quick and safe motor.
