Nearly finished stripping. Next weekend engine both sub-frames ect, Will be removed ready to start welding then off to paint. Bit more rust. Not found any thing that bad. Worst is the rotten drivers over sill and the back of floor. Has had a remote gear linkage fitted need to sort out the back mount to body. will get some more pics up next week once body is lifted off sub-frames.

My Next Retro project This is my Brothers Wolseley Hornet he has owned the car a few years, But now has the money to start. It is a 1966 mk3 hornet. Has beem converted to dry suspension, running mk1 cooper S brakes, Dunlop D1 wheels, 1380, twin SU's, straight cut gear box, ect. is a quick car. (when we got it) I am going to strip it to a bare shell, this month. Has already had a passanger floor and A panel. But i still need to weld in a new drivers rear floor and outer sill. I aim to get it painted by the end of the year. (how it currently sits) (this is how we hope it will end up) Will try to update this weekly got lots to do

Deck lid still at the painters should have it back next week.
Got to have a MOT when we have some nice weather and get some 135/70/15 fitted on the front as my 145 rub aired out.
Will have update with some new photos soon.

Thanks That's every thing i wanted to know. Will probably leave the rear sub frame, redrill the hubs and runs some 12" banned steels at the right offset's. My flipped rimmed steels only run 145's going to need more tyre Also Slater Big fan of both your A-series Metros some nice work gone into them.

Just looking into future engine conversions for my brothers A-series Austin Metro. I read that 1.8 vvc engines bolt into late rover metro subframes and on rover metro gear boxes. My question is does a late rover metro/100 subframe bolt into a early Austin Metro???I would be using the Late metro suspension, hubs, gear box ect but with a vvc engine. I know that the the hubs and pcd are different, could i convert it to early metro hubs?
Also i know, i will need to cut out my inner arches but the front frame/chassis looks the same. Any advice would be great Thanks
