        Well progress is at a dead stop now, My air compressor is broken untill I can fix it or find a new one.

        Why do air compressors cost so much

        (Thanks for the kind comment richard)

          Cleaned the anti roll bar and panted it bright signal orange



          Brackets are pre-custom from e-bay, item
          http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Metro-Rear...p2047675.l2557

          I modified the brackets with 2 extra holes so it was in line with the centre bolt hole that fits through the wish bone.

          Anti roll bar poly bushes are what I had lying around in my garage, There for the anti roll bar for a mk2 fiesta xr2 for the rear, But you can buy them here as well, item http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Fiest...item4605ca6d83

          I guess useing the standard or poly mounts for the rear anti roll bar bushes on a metro might be better but I dunno since I just use what I have lying around ect.

                  Smokey coolant pipe I think is just from the surface oil inside the engine after rebuilding it.

                              I have completed the sill on the driver side.

                              but am not happy with it as the bodywork looks all lumpy and crap like a chav car

                                New photos.

                                How its looking just now.

                                Working on the door on the bonnet.

                                The newly constructed drivers door bottom.

                                front side

                                Other side of the door with just the outer skin being replaced.

                                And now the stuff that I hate.

                                The rear quarter pannel thats as flat as the north sea.

                                Bottom part of the rear quarter that dont look to good to the sill.

                                B pillar to new sill, I think it looks ****.
