About My Car.

The Mini is a 1979 Austin 850, The MG Metro exists no longer, except the useful bits which have either been used on the Mini or which are cluttering up my garage.(Like the Brakes and other odds and ends.)

As you can see I started on the car by removing the front bumper. It has rotted away completely and I though I'd fit a spoiler. I haven't found one of those yet.

I have removed the chrome trim from the bonnet to get the MK I look and added bonnet straps (help to keep the bonnet closed - something the bonnet catch doesn't manage all the time), but the front still looks a little bare. I'd like to get the moustache type grille and a set of lights to smarten up the front.
At the moment the grill has been painted yellow (Hammerite :) to match the car.

To disguise some minor rust patches onthe doors I've added some Borg implants in keeping with th car's character.

The rear is a little tatty from the nudge bars that were originally fitted on the car. I'd like to fit a second tank, not only for aesthetic reasons, but also to increase the available fuel supply for the 1275 A+ engine from the MG Metro.
