My first ever attempt at a light restoration

no mate I don't, your better off seeing if there is a You tube video about it, as you do get some good shit on there.
I wouldn't use hammerite again, better off using stone chip as that's miles better.

Oh hell no mate, screw hammerite. Still cant believe you got a lotus engine in that Metro though, always had a soft spot for Metro's, but jesus, what a combo. Is it a well known combo like putting a c20xe in to a corsa for example?

id say the c20xe corsa stuff is more common up our end of the country, as vvc metros are more common down south.
but I think the vvc metro scene is starting to fade out now, as they are worth more standard than modified now.

remember to use the brush on sealant stuff too when you do repairs as that will help you too. I have used that stuff on my gta to keep it all clean and it adds that bit extra protection too.

C20XE Corsa's are/were as common as muck here. Thanks for the tip, im using rust buster epoxy mastic 2k over electrox on the whole bay and any other repairs. I plan to also use stone chip on top of that lol followed by clear coat. Im all for preserving.
