Well the dreaded MOT came round again and unfortunately she failed. One bottom ball joint one top ball joint and some trivia bits. Mr MOT man didn't notice the fact that both rear radius arms are goosed and the rear subby mounts are shot, as well as under the front arches and some patches on the floor but hey ho this is the life of a Metro owner.

Well I was going to update this with regards to how far I have got pulling the tro in bits, but photobucket seems to have changed. Seems like I'll have to find a new image hosting site. Anyone got any recommendations for free ones?
