Moreys 160 VVC Mk3 rep
Re: Moreys 160 VVC Mk3 rep
The B-pillar covers came from a member off here, i think they exist on some luxurious models and maybe a few gti's/gta's? I have them on the car now: I have also re-done my A-pillar covers: Also found a rover 25 mirror and added it, i can see everything now! PLUS: these bits are drying as of now! can you see:

Skirts were a bastard to get perfect: This heat gun assisted me greatly on time, and hardening that paint! but here they are, smooth as a varnish table!
Re: Moreys 160 VVC Mk3 rep
Gave the car a good clean and polish today. I bet some of you will be glad to know that i have now removed something from the rear! It got mouldy and if any of you dont know what im talking about. here: More cleaness:
Re: Moreys 160 VVC Mk3 rep
THE SKIRTS ARE FINALLY ON! (i am pretty sure that is the last thing that needs painting on my car!) Heres a collection of todays images: Oh and the most important thing: Fuel!:
Re: Moreys 160 VVC Mk3 rep
More bits ive done this weekend: Bought some alpines for a total of 6 quid, brand new! Fitted them by going through the how to guide, its spot on and works a dream! Kicking out clearer tunes now, not so much worried about bass. But it does a good job! Also i FINALLY received my induction elbow... It needed trimming down so it could fit to the side of the carbon dust box. But other than that, it makes the car sound 1000x more throaty and healthier. Just in case you didnt know how i had it before:
Might be the next thing to be sprayed then! (and i thought i was finnished, damn you pandy!) Look what arrived in the post today! Only problem is, i really
cant be bothered to find out what pin powers what, and what wires to steal power from etc... Im guessing the guide wont work for my mk4 p reg?
Thanks mate. I suppose this day was coming where i'd have to show you the rust situation on my car... The other side is basically mint. And i blast each arch with waxoyl every few months. i also spray directly into the crack you see there.
Treating myself with my halfrauds voucher.... Bits i got from ding as i have new plans for my doors! ^ ^ ^ Ciggy Lighter/glove box light loom! + Stuff im collecting ready for central locking currently: both front actuators, both door looms. The rest im waiting for ding to get his ass in gear!
Cleaned my engine bay good and proper, notice the header tank is missing... This is currently bathing in bleach and oven cleaner. then going in the dishwasher! hopefully it will be gleaming if not i give up.
Before: After: Look what arrived in the post today: Something else that needs spraying, but i need your opinions on this people. i was thinking - white originally, to contrast with the gloss black bumper; i realise that this will be more susceptible to dirt and damage. Or just gloss black to make the car look more factory?

Re: Moreys 160 VVC Mk3 rep
Put my splitter on yesterday, bit of a gap in the middle but im not fussy!
low low low (nose diving front end :S waiting on nuts and valves to sort out the *low on fluid cans* :wacko: Finnished the central locking today and it works a dream! i fooking love being able to walk away from my car and lock it not walk around each door and lock it also wired up my glove box lamp all in a few hours
p.s sprayed my gti spats today (might be on the car for PoL) not sure
Now photobucket has fixed my page i can update my journal. YAY Quick spiders contribution to modify my car were a bargain.
oh ANNNNDDDD Spats on and MGZR steering wheel!
Haven't had an update since forever, so here's what has been occurring since i last updated. I got these from ralph, first of the new *improved* nuts and valves Finished painting my callipers, unsure of what the colour will look like behind the wheel but it is good enough for now And Elitetro got these to me ASAP and i fitted them a few days later. you all probably thinking im aiming for a GTI rep, which i am. but with a few mods of my own added in. Mutts got the awesome sticker to me eventually, very busy man Also it was my birthday on the 5th, got some tools and a tool box More updates to come

Re: Moreys 160 VVC Mk3 rep
thanks mate, forgot to add this one, my mate caught me doing my seatbelts. he named it, "One man and his Metro"
Thanks Miles, Not much of an update but looked what arrived in the post today from Jon8oy! will get round to sorting out the suspension properly soon, lowered I reckon 10mm all round and individualised with ARB'S should be a lot better than the boat im driving atm!
long time no update, so before i head off to glastonbury festival i managed to discover a blowing exhaust, so a new downpipe is in order. not bad for 27 quid inc. VAT. also, try and guess what is happening in this picture: (clue is in there somewhere) winner gets a cookie. ok and this is what followed: It has made the rear so much more perky now its shocking. instead of the floppy ass it always has been. cant wait to lower it (yes i did service my brakes whilst i had the hubs off ) Also, i have dyed my headlining black with special fabric spray, looks good. pics to come. + have aqquired a gti thicker pile carpet, which is going black aswell - with the same stuff.-
Soooooo then, the car has been its lightest since it left the factory. Seats and Carpet have been stripped out, i am in the progress of installing I.C.E: peeling back the carpet i feared for the worst, but i was so pleased to find no rust ANYWHERE on the floors. So the car is currently 2 seats up with no carpet, im waiting for; some more cables sound proofing (silentcoat) and some free time to put it all in.

Re: Moreys 160 VVC Mk3 rep
long time no update, been busy with work and the the zr 160. ok, so bit delayed but finally a picture of the roof lining: Also, whilst replacing my downpipe i put on my front roll bar! ] (yes i know its got rubber bushes aswell as poly bushes. i forgot to get 2 sets so sue me!! also, redone my door bits black, as the white looked crap and frankly i didnt even do it properly first time round! also, cant decided whether to do my spats white in matching with the paintwork so they stand out: can anyone do me a photoshop on that pic of the spats white?
Ok! After a very successful metro meet on the 20th of august. here is a favourite shot of mine, but of course. OF MY CAR! lol DSC_0767 by MetroMorey, on Flickr ANYWAY! i did get round to lowering my car and here are a few pics of the journey of swear words. I HAVE YET to get a picture of how it sits at the moment, as it needs some adjusting, because its nose diving! So next few days ill upload a finnished picture!
