Never been a fan of metros but can't deny that is some epic work going on there.

If I were building a VVC Metro I'd want the mkI MG Metro turbo look - that'd be awesome. Cracking looking project though mate

Not as easy, the mk1 and 2 used the old A+ with the gearbox underneath the engine so the subframes are narrower, the later metros and 100s use the K series which are all the same external size so the worst part is fitting a PG1 in place of the R65.

have to disagree with the pg1. it's heavy and more drive train loss.

best box for metro is r65u 3.7 final drive. and a gripper lsd with Saxo vtr 5th gearset and steel caged bearings.

easy 13 second pass you would struggle with a PG1.

I love Metro's and would have another one tomorrow if I could afford to run another car.

Good to see that they still get love and attention like this, I'll be keeping an eye on this one
