Right, spec: (I'll do my best)
1991 rover metro 1.1C in Red
3 door
aint got a clue about bhp or anything
manual windows
manual sunroof
No air con, ABS or power steering
Mods so far:
GTR badge and a small install in boot
Future plans:
Cobra seats
Colour co-ordinated steering wheel, hand brake, gear knob, door handles and window winders
New dial kit with rev counter
Maybe a colour co-ordinated dash
14" alloys
Not doing anything to the outsides of it now, just gonna do up the interior, with bits that can be removed and put in to new car next time round.
Was jokin about the badges mate. They aint the shizzle.Up to you what u wanna do but they look cheesy.I mean its not even a nissan let alone a skyline
oh well kick a guy when he's down why dont ya lol
It will be comin off when I put your idea in place anyway
Heres a pic of what the renegades boot should look like soon, amp wires may be laid different??
that looks cool mate, I am doing the boot like that soon, but i'm going to build a new box for my sub too, so dazza and andy can have my old one for the rock
right, a few new pics for ya.
This is my boot now, de-badged and notice my strip on the back window:
This is my crappy crappy TEMPORARY boot install, this was my mates design which I tried and hate, so this will be redone very soon:
6 Neon tubes, and still not enought to light the damn boot, anyone selling any neons???
where you gettin your neons from mate ? .... 6 should be more than enough so im guessin the quality of em aint too great ( no offense ).
Id say a single neon decent neon would give you the effect youre lookin for. They have some decent ones in motorworld, not sure if they do em in red, theyre about 8 - 10 inches long approx ( i have two blue ones of these, one in each front footwell, brightness is very good.)
id advise lookin round for a decent one matey, usually has a better effect than numerous small ones scattered all over the place.
ive got 2 pairs of 4" ones and a pair of 12" ones, and they are just red cathode thingies, but as soon as payday comes, im gonna rip them out, go to halfords and get some nice fat ones, because the quality of these ones really is poo lol
but everything starting to take shape
ahh cool ....a decent neon glow should really set off the install matey, lookin good.
that install is gonna change too.
I did build it so the 6x9's are set in a side panel with the neons above, and the side panel fit nicely in until i put the speaker in which hit the wheel arch, so i knew i would have to change the design, but that one which my mate designed is just silly lol
so on payday im gettin brighter neons, more wood to change install, and new 6x9's too because them cheap ones sound terrible
Coming along nicely. Get that fit amp in Ade!
GTr stickers
<img border="0" alt="[Roll around the floor laffin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions065.gif" /> hehe How funny are you haha. Glad you took them off.
amp is in lol, nice and loud it is too, just need some decent 6x9's to compliment it.
Thinking about getting a GTI kit for it too, cheap price
Then I wont be able to do anything else until im driving e.g. exhaust and tints
Cool mr dj, look forwardto the car going from strength to strength
indeed, ive got something planned too, which I am a bit scared of doing, so dunno if the plans will go ahead yet.
boots looking sexy ade xxxxxxx keep up the good work
its jst the red cathodes that are crap, as adam had the same problem
iv get the green ones an there really bright
if you got nothing to light up then the red wont show up to well, i got mine under the dash an you can only see them properly when you got your feet in the footwell
Originally posted by MisterAdam:

so do u suggest having them nearer to the sub/speakers and they would glow a bit more?
Or
go to halfords and buy them big fat bright neons lol
i recomend moving them mate as as they are theyre tryin to light up the world, chuck em under ur dash etc and get proper neon bars for the boot
those GTR badges add at least 50bhp

please notice that on the most recent pictures, de-badged!!!
Get yourself a 6R4 kit mate nobody round here has a metro with the kit on (not road going anyway) it would cost a bit but would look superb.
oh yeah
Someone find a pic of that kit on a metro please. Ive tired and cant get one
tupac, ive thought about it loads, would cost me £700 for the kit, god knows how much to get it fitted.
Here we go, if this link works then its a cool pic of a genuine 6R4, there are loads of pics of them and a whole site dedicated to them
To find an image just enter "metro 6r4"into google then click images above the search bar
You cant go wrong
right, some new pics, again lol
the interior is getting sprayed bit by bit, and theres my new gear knob too. Its a bit messy but im in the process of ripping bits out to spray and tidy up.
This is a better clearer picture of my sticked on the back window:
I've re-done my boot install lol
And my new sexy amp
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That neon aint stayin in front of the sub there, just dont know were to put it yet, any ideas?
Need window tints if ya keepin ya back shelf out of the car, park it anywhere on the street and that back window will be put through and people will be hain off with ya install
KEEP IT HIDDEN!
Apart from that, lookin spot on mate! Great to see ya workin on the car before ya can legally drive!
good point there, think i might leave it in until they are tinted then
ive looked several times mate, kit for sale is 3 and a half times more than i bought the car for, then theres fitting it labour charges etc..
not worth it, plus wudnt fit in the garage with them wide axles
well wot can i say mr renegade its lookin well smart
thank you very much my baby
right, ive been doing some praying of the interior so a few pics to show off my work lol
but first, look at my new toy:
and heres the spraying (which is still going on)
i'm getting there............aren't i??
Certainly have brightened up the interior mate!
well the idea was to modernise an old car, and by getting rid of all the borin grey, its sort of doing the job. I just hope the door panels look ok once ive finished them.
well ade its lookin boss hun. im just waitin till u have passed and you can take me for that spin xx
Yeah defo getting there matey
Yup, you most vertainly are getting there. Just like everyone else has said.
That red is spot on!
Sometimes ya get reds that look faded etc, spot on colour coding there mate!
likin the show plates too
well when i first started doing the red, it was faded and horrible, and would just peel off, but thats 3 coats of primer and 2 coats of red spray.
Thanks for all the comments guys
Looking Good mate !!!! keep it up!
Just been looking at some 14" alloys to get at the end of the month but cant make my mind up:
These:
These:
Or These:
middle ones, also, have u laquered ur paint, if not it will come off in a few months if u touch it, take that into account mate, the car deffo needs a kit mate, even if u just chuck a splitter on and cut some holes and mesh em it'd look ace, ill chop an idea for u mate
I think the BK racing (bottom) one's would suit the car best. Dashboard's looking great bud, keep it coming.
i have been lookin for a colour coded GTI kit for it, mesh the wide mouth at the front etc..
And i havent laquered the paint, its all got 2 coats of primer and a coat of red colour
Do I hate to everything ive sprayed out again or doesnt it matter if i get a bit of laquer over things i havent sprayed because its clear isn't it??
well it is clear but its shiny, take it all out again and laquer it mate, if u wanna see wot not laquering it does ill show u my interior handle surrounds, they look crap so theyre out again so i can so em again "green instead of silver"
I like the bottom ones
ade its niceur car saw it in the flesh so to speak. cant wait till ya pass ur test babe, xxxxx
BK Racings mate
Personally I think it'll look odd with thin spokes
On the whole small cars look better with thick spokes
Only seen 1 or 2 smaller cars (i.e. Corsa's etc) pull off multi thin spokes
well i dont personally like lots of spokes or too think spokes, but i admit it will look silly with thin spokes or few spokes, so BK ones are top of the list at the mo.
Tonight i have lacquered all my interior spraying too, nice and shiny
I like the wheels in the middle the best.
Car's looking good Ade!
Keep us posted!
hay ade hun did u manage to getthe stain of the seat??????
oh my
lol meesh, you imagination is very rude
ade i got some cleaning stuff at me mums that will get rid off it. then bobs ur uncle claen again
erm.......
haha v.nice car
awwww

ade u got ur amp fixed yet?
no i havent spoke to sted since he blew it up so i dont know if he has got it looked at yet but until he does, im using my little splx one
looking good matey keep up the good work fella and keep us updated
lookin neat mate gud work
Yeah not bad at all for an amateur.
after finding a few major problems with this car, ive decided that betty has to go, either to a scrapyard or any loon that wants to take it off my hands for a very good price.
I have got a replcement in mind but for now, everything is staying hush hush, its gonna be major though, watch this space.

Why whats up with it? Its never moved so how has it developed a major problem?

sad to see ya sellin up mate, was promising to be something good there and different

Hope the next project is just as different

cos when i tried to copy a certain idea, after ripping the rear interior out, it had no wheel arches, the rear seat belts came off in my hand due to rust, it cud quite easily just snap haha
Unlucky, would love to see a fully done 'tro. Whats next ade?
