liking the new music it goes with your style of presenting, relaxed and enjoyable to watch

Love the music in this video! And it was good to see the metro surf again.

I can remember the MG Metro , Black & Red coloured .

Great Video, Nice to see the Metro coming together now! :)

My 1989 Asutin Mini Designer 998 also has a yellow engine, that is the colour that Asutin/Rover used at the time

I will have your panels in the post this week sir

Oh i had loads of metros, i bought mot failures and repaired them, also stolen ones and engine gearbox swaps…as for rust it was mostly floor panels and front jacking points i ended up welding. These were my poor mans diy projects.

To think these cars were everywhere back in the 80s, now you don't see them. I saw one for sale this summer by the side of the road in Cornwall. It was in great condition and I actually considered putting in an offer.🤔

I'm really curious about this car. Can't wait to see more!

They came from the factory that colour. Something to do with factory identification. That nasty crud around the thermostat housing just needs a kettle full of boiling water over it.

Often the case with jubilee clips, they either let go over time, or they cut through the hose because they're cheaply stamped metal with sharp edges, resulting in them causing more leaks than they stop...

awesome another video on the metro 😀

Mick at MadFord Engineering is an ace bloke. He rebuilt the engine on my Rover 25 - you can see him doing it on the Drive Tribe channel.

Looking great with the clean engine bay - sometimes you get lucky with an easy fix! Still amazes me to see how lazy they were when they made this. Even the hood latch/lock is the same as the mini!

Great music!! I bet you would love the swedish group glesbygd’n .

"Lynn, I'm not driving a mini metro."

Try biltemas smådelsrens soap. It is fantastic at cleaning of old oil and stuff on old lathes and milling machines. It is Cheaper than solvents, and you can put it in their pressurised DIY spraycan 🙂.

I think green heads were 850 yellow head 998 red and the red was 1275cc nice metro tho 👍

"Enough projects for now" then proceeds to buy every project car within 2000km 😂

Great little cars and although I love mini's the metro was a much better motorway car car and still great fun to drive round country lanes. The 1.3 was also quite quick .keep up the good work

I think you're correct on the colour of the engine, yellow blocks were 998cc, the red blocks 1275, I can't remember what colour my 1100cc Mini was though? That pressure test kit looks very handy to have, look forward to the next update

In UK now half decent Metros all specs go for reasonable money. MG and Turbo versions much, much more. Twenty years ago Brits used to dump their Metros and lots of other worthless cars at the road side for the taxpayers to clear away. Never see that now. Your example appears to be basically a sound one and worth the TLC you devote to it.

I do have a front panel you can have, I don't need it for my Wood & Pickett Metro Laser Turbo project, I live near Næstved

Get the Metro GTI if you can, a lot of fun to drive & pretty quick, but they rust worse than the mk! 🤨

Nice easy fix this time! Can I ask a favor, I have a carburettor that is, supposedly, originaly off one of those cars, a HIF 38, (code FZX 1414), and i'm drawing an intake manifold to adapt it to a FIAT engine (100 GL) , and I'm trying to find out what is the correct inclination of the carburettor with the horizontal. If you could somehow measure the slope of the carb it would help a lot. Thanks in advance, see you in the next one. ;)

Where are you getting your repair panels from? I'd loooooove to know! I have a 1983 Black 3 door city Mk1......ahh wait, Mad Ford engineering.....

Another great video so thank you for posting, i am interested in the blue coloured car ramp thats under the Metro, would you know the make and model or where i could purchase one please, thank you for your help. Best regards, Stefano (UK)

Nu er jeg igennem det der er tilgængeligt af Metro projektet. Glæder mig til nye afsnit. Nu vil jeg fordybe mig i Mehari projektet. Som gammel 2CV ejer kender jeg glæder og sorger. Mange minder og timer ude i perlegruset, når man kører 2CV.

How did you find the wheels i guess they are the size you need for tyres mk 2 had metric which is obsolete for tyres ?

Oh i had loads of metros, i bought mot failures and repaired them, also stolen ones and engine gearbox swaps…as for rust it was mostly floor panels and front jacking points i ended up welding. These were my poor mans diy projects.
