You'd need to use a photo sharing site like Photobucket. Upload them onto there, then paste the IMG tag into here.

Sounds like an interesting car. I use Imgur (search google) for posting pictures.

You're doing the right thing to try and restore it (looks in great nick, great starting point) but it's got to be heart not head with that. If your heart's not in it, stick it on ebay (99p start, no reserve) and take what you can get for it.
Promote the hell out of the eBay auction on here, on the Mini and Metro forums and all that too.
If you're restoring it because you inherited it from someone who would be dead chuffed if you put it back on the road, throw everything in and get 'er done. You'll end up with a decent daily driver and an enormous sense of achievement.
FWIW, I think it's amazing and I've never seen anything like it before.

I've seen this in the flesh at a number of south west shows over the years.
I doubt it would take much to sort, unless it's been sitting in a lake for the last few years.

I apologise if I am not supposed to do this but I know for a fact that the guys over on MetroPower.org.uk would be very interested in seeing this car and to see the project develop. If you ever decide to just get rid then I'm always here to take it off your hands  |

Is it properly registered - ie do DVLA know it's not a standard Metro bodyshell ? Why would they need to know? because the monocoque bodyshell has been modified from factory and as such could lose it's identity and have to go through a IVA test. i think if the work was carried out before a certain date, then it's fine. but there needs to be proof of this. i think 1997 is the cut off year for modified cars. some info here www.gov.uk/vehicle-registration/radically-altered-vehiclesthere was info on the ACE site but that seams to have disappeared from the internet? |
