A very fast shed though!! I think Matt's spent something ridiculous like £19K on this car.

I still got a soft spot for them, my first car was an R100, first car I ever worked on too, easy compared to a lot of new cars.

R200/25 Front bumper looks good

M8 of mine had a green one with vinyl sunroof, we called it the skip. He parked it outside his house with the roof open one day so we filled it up with rubbish sacks. Smelled a bit rank for a while after :devil:

As long as its not original...a mate of a mate had a modded metro...they lowered the original suspension which then exploded while he was doing 70 whole car dropped to the road, ripped the bumpers off fubared the underside.
