i dont know whats more amazing ... the build or the fact you found a rust free metro

Listen some of us can only dream of doing shit like this. Man, I take my hat off to you. This project looks damned amazing. Absolutely fascinating to see this build and I hope I can get around to doing something this real soon. Great work! 👍👍👍

Superb work - and extra kudos for doing it on your drive in the UK.

I don't care if its a replica, its fooking epic mate ...... Outstanding work ........

My father was a test driver for the original 6R4. He also had to record for smashing the most cars in British Leyland - whilst taking a mini around the factory for a test, the steering wheel came off going round a corner he then smashed straight into a metal fire escape on the side of a building which then fell onto a shed load of new cars. He did limp for a while but he carried on. Great vid, you have great skill and determination.

A very high quality high spec build that will immediately put this Man into a very well respected group of engineering genius. I also applaud the final finish on the trim and paintwork. He can almost name his own price if ever selling I think..

Just shows it doesn’t have to be project binky to be awesome. Well done fella. Fantastic back yard build a credit to you.

Credit where credit is due 👏..absolutely brilliant build,your skills speak for themselves..love this kind of build..

Its not a replica 6R4, its an original 6R2 and a bloody good one at take. Love it, well done.

On your driveway takes some commitment too.. I tip my hat, that is an absolutely awesome build, enjoy!

This popped up on my homepage and i started watching it then realised its the one that overtook me a year or so ago when it was white near eddy pub. It sounded brilliant 👍 my lad who was with me has liked them since and i recon hes been searching 6R4’s as hes got on on forza o xbox. I also remember your Kitten from a few years ago 👍

Wow this takes me back , RS 200 Audi Quattro, Lancia Delta Integrale S4, Peaugot T16, Metro 6R4. Excellent build.

Fantastic Job. Well done. Can’t believe you did it on your driveway!!! 😱

Car looks amazing, I can remember when the 6R4 was outlawed and there was a field full of them at Cowley all unsold and in white I think the asking price was around £16,000, In the late 90s I was lucky enough to be passenger in one around the Silverstone rally cross circuit, what a great car made from something so humble.

Pure art! Remarkable craftsmanship and clever solutions.

Wow! I’m a huge 6R4 guy. Your build is amazing!! 7 months!!! I couldn’t do that in 7 years. Spot on, well done sir.

There are some clever/skilful people on this planet and you sir are one of them. Fantastic car, sounds glorious. Enjoy the fruits of your labour.

Probably one of the only 6R4 replicas that actually have the power to go with the looks. Beautiful build

Fantastic!!! @8:00 - who wouldn't want a Metro that sounded like that. The 6R4 was my favorite Group B rally car, both in rallying and rallycross back in the day. Fair play to you mate, you've created an amazing replica of an absolute legend - in your driveway! Thanks for posting and well done on some truly awesome back yard engineering. Stunning!!!

Brilliant! I bet your neighbours are happy you've finished it.

Fantastic build, and the fact this was all done on your driveway, just goes to show your skill and commitment even more. The end product looks truly amazing!

Outdoor UK build. Proof that with enough skill and dedication, it isn't impossible to build amazing things without the luxury of a big workshop. I've built the last few of my projects on my gravel driveway and they've all turned out well. Nothing on the scale of your metro project though. Top job. Well done.

Dude, to manage that build on your driveway is remarkbalke enough, to do it in 7 months is astonishing. Congratualtions.

You sir are a bloody genius .enjoy your amazing creation

I am amazed!!! I cant even imagine what you could do with a proper shop and equipment....Great job!!!

Honestly that is fantastic work and replica or not the effort and work gone it to your build is stunning. Love to be able to drive it myself.

It was really great having a look around it in person tonight, so well built and attention to detail. Can't wait to see the little mods you've got planned. I hope to come up and see it again sometime. Cheers for showing me around.

A power of work, fantastic job well done 👍🏻

Randomly popped up in my feed, watched to the end. Awesome work, great video, stunning car.

Fantastic effort. Building that on your driveway is nothing short of remarkable and in a time frame of 7 months. Even sounds like the real thing.

Never commented on a video but after watching this wow. What a quality bud im super jelious looks absolutely amazing

Very Good vid showing all that's needed .What a superb end result .

Flipping Awesome! You are a very talented engineer / mechanic. Quality and timeframe put other builders to shame.

Love this. Like many have pointed out a rustless metro is rare but the talent on show is more than impressive. God bless.

This isn’t a replica.. this is a noble piece of art built by a true pioneer.. gawd bless you for making this.

There is a bloke in gloucester with two!!! original 6r4's in bits, says he is going to rebuild them and has been saying that for at least 20 years from what i hear.

I'm amazed at the quality of the outdoor paint job and he managed to do the fence, shed and grass at the same time 👀 This car is proper proper

absolutely unreal - and you built it outside! wow

Major achievement to get a project of this size finished. In all of history it must be one of only a handful. I had a replica in my shop about 20 years ago. PRV Engine and Renault 30 transaxle. MkIII escort front uprights used on the rear. Just undrivable. Couldn't even drive it on the dyno. Nothing like yours. Look forward to seeing it the Hills 👌👍 Absolutely

Brings back memories of painting the computer vision 6r4s back in the day , amongst other privateer cars .. Nice project well done In fact yours looks a better build than the originals 👍

Absolutely fabulous. Top engineering. 👏👏👏👏👏👍

I guess as soon as i win the lotto i WILL BE KNOCKING on your door with a blank cheque. You did ALL that work on your driveway can you imagine if you had a big unit and some CNC machines , THANK YOU VERY MUCH for bringing back the memories of my youth because the Metro 6R4 was and still is my fav Group B rally car cheers man SCOOBS UK [Wales].

To do that ON YOUR DRIVE is absolute genius. Very well done, looks superb. I can only wonder at the time and trouble it took. The video is great, but can't do it real justice. Top build! 😎

This isnt a replica.. You actually built one! Fantastic video I smiled all the way through, i remeber the group b era very well as a small child and the sound of this car through a cold dark forrest was second to none! Awesome job and a very very nice 6r4.

Fantastic, I just found your channel looking for metros I’m rebuilding a metro city back to standard, I have also been lucky with not to much rust, subscribed

Oh my god I want that so much! Absolutely stunning job dude! As an owner of an F reg 1.3 Gta as a youngster the 6r4 has a huge place in my heart. Firstly congrats on a top job and secondly for saving a metro from the scrappers!

You are an absolute engineering legend! Must sound superb down some of the Ribble valleys!

Absolutely superb...and when you put your foot down, oh, that sound...

Wow, this just dropped on my home page. There are some very talented folk around and you are one of them sir. The photos won't justify the head scratching and problems you would have encountered. You have done the 6R4 justice in my opinion. Love it. Had to laugh at the over spray on the garden fence, bet your misses was happy. 😂

Work of art 10/10 Great job!

Incredible job on that! Looks the business as well. I bet you can't stop grinning driving that around? I should imagine it attracts quite a crowd of appreciation when you park up as well? 😁👍😎😷

What a great job you made of the work involved! Thanks for posting.

Fantastic job some people just dont appreciate how much work you have done as a lot would just pay someone to do it all for them

Oh that sounds soooooo good I bet you have a blast driving it around. Excellent job well done.

That sir is a work of art, it takes me back 30 years when I had a 1.3 metro with a replica 6r4 body kit on it. Looked the part but couldn't pull a greased stick out of a dogs arse. Well done fella..

6r4s wow wen I first seen will gollop race.when I was 8yrs I wanted one.. origional engine with 2turbos is what a jag xj220 has madness. I never thought I could own one.seeing wat you have done is brilliant cheers for opening my eyes.

Instant like 👍🏻 on the test drive!!! Glad to see no hesitation with the right foot 🤩💪🏻

What an amazing car you have created. the 6R4 is my dream car. you have gone and created a replica that is in my eye just as special. I have had the luck to sit in a few 6R4's and look round them and i hope one day to be able to see yours in the flesh too, many thanks for sharing this

Absolutely superb, its really impressive when one person not only dedicates themself but does a complete build from the ground up,engineering, fabricating, improvising non oem parts, welding, painting, electrical and electronic engineering.End result a brilliant car, hats off to ya Ian.

Fabulous build. What a car! Makes me miss my Metro .

Absolutely outstanding work.

You built that on your driveway, you are a legend.

That's friggin awesome dude! A big project to take on, but you pulled it off a treat. The wheels aren't my personal preference but that's your preference and your car, so do what you want eh 😉 Sounds as good as the real ones too 👍 I remember them back in Group B days, sounded the business, not as poppy and bangy as the turbo cars but you could tell it was a 6R4 coming even before you could see it 👍👍👍

Job well done! It sounds amazing and looks the business!

Fantastic build, well done. I saw Tony Pond test the Metro 6R4 here at the Donegal Rally back in the early 80's. Engine blew up due to a stuck throttle cable.

Absolutely fantastic. You have a business right there building them.

You are one talented man.

The amount of custom fab work is insane... 7 months from start to finish.. In fact this whole build is insane 👍👏

Fantastic what a beauty you made 👌👍

Outstanding workmanship, & all on a driveway.

Brillant work doesn't even get close to describing what you've done there.

and a HUGE pat on the back from me. You sir are a legend. 2 dream cars 1-bmw 635csi touring and 2- metro 6r4. I attempted to do one about 25yrs ago but sold it, unfinished!!!! Got into boats now. well done to you sir and what a legacy to have. RESPECT.

what a wonderful bit of work what a lovely looking car

Massive and total respect 🙏...this 6.R.4....rep, is a stunner 👏...congrats, and enjoy 😉

Incredible, I'm in awe of the work and expertise. It looks mean in red too, from the back a quick glance says Delta Integrale, then you notice its far, far more special.

Absolutely amazing work hat off to you mate very impressed and the old Austin lives again 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

You sir is a LEGEND - Congatulations on your expert engineering! This was mesmorising to watch.

G'day from West Australia, 38yrs in the motor trade 3rd gen Engineer who likes what you built in a front yard for goodness sakes. Your neibours must be very understanding. I think if I fart in my carport mine would complain about me making to much noise.😉🙂👍👍

Most probably the best thing you could do with Grandma's old Metro. Absolutely MAGIC Mate. Great Job.

Awesome. I bet the weekly shop is a blast! Well done.

To do that on your driveway is totally awesome! I would love to see what you could build if you had a fully equipped workshop. You have real talent there! 👍

Superb work, nice to see an icon built from the ground up and finished so well. Love it .

That is mightily impressive! You should be extremely proud of all your hard work and the finished product! Well done you. Good luck and thanks for sharing. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Now that is an extreme car...amazing details...build with passion...

Wow, amazing work but done in such a short timeframe, that is some serious engineering skills, take a bow sir!!

what a fantastic machine youve built mate your a talented fella.

Absolutely amazing work, you should be very proud, the car looks insane 👍

That in 7 months - you should be a multi millionaire mate. Phenomenal Talent

This is just outstanding, one of my favourite cars of all time

Stunning vehicle and something you should be very proud of.

All that work, and to a very high standard, in 7 months? Superb

Outstanding job mate

Enjoy your own works!!! Amazing proyect... Congratulations!!!

Got me ass in a real one & was ripped around a park with David Llewelyn, very impressive. This build is on another level, incredible!.

Out Standing Job.. To bring one to life like this is totally amazing. It is a lot of work and a massive amount of skill .. Well done and hats off to you.

BUILT BY A MAN IN A SHE'D !!!...Absolutely fabulous build ,I take my hat of to you .

Absolutely beautiful build. Extremely satisfying video as well! You’re a great talent.

The in car video around the streets was excellent. Looks like a bloody fun car to drive. Then to paint it was icing on the cake. All the hard work paid off. Well done

Epic build, looked awesome on the strip at Santa Pod. Can’t wait for the return with engine upgrades. 😎

Incredible stuff man! Great car, great project great results. Compliments for skills... Originals 6r4 weren't so accuratwly built. Be proud of it
