- Welcome to the first episode of Pig Shed Projects - and we’re kicking things off with a scrap 20K-mile Metro that’s been sitting unloved for years! 🚗💨
In this episode, we take on the challenge of getting this little British icon back on the road. We attempt to fire it up, piece the interior back together, and even try to bring some tunes back to life by fixing the radio. But of course, no project car comes without its struggles - and today, that struggle is the suspension! 😤
Will this Metro be a roadworthy survivor, or is it destined to stay a driveway ornament? Stick around and find out - and if you’re enjoying the Pig Shed Projects, don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to follow the journey!
👉 Let me know in the comments - what should we tackle next on the Metro?

Get it mint and MOT'd. Then put it through a classic car auction. Put the earnings towards the next project
Keep it standard and the adventure take it round the block and then sell it in your new gaffe 😂
Great vlog Kev, be good to see the metro all cleaned up. Stay Safe Kev🇦🇺
Seeing that Metrock and roll reminded me of my teens for some reason lol Do have to wonder if the garage did that to up sell the old guy a new car?
going from what you said disconnecting the box bypasses the imobilizer well actually any old rover fob with the 2 buttons if you press lock 8 times then unlock 8 times it actually works lol
Mind your head in that shed!
(Pig shed, not the wee Metro 😂)
Another great video has always kev 👍
Absolutely insane that one thing was stopping it from starting on the key
Made me jump my hearts pumping 🤣 when it ticked over with ur finger
Don't panic, but I'm going to say the 'P' word again! 😅 What I've been doing with my Polo is doing easily reversable things. So I bought an aluminium handbrake cover I really liked but didn't fit because old car syndrome! So I ended up cutting a groove in the cover so it'd fit, rather than cut the bit off the handbrake. I've put some stuff on the door cards that can be removed, odd bits and bobs like that, so if I ever want to return it to stock I can do. I've done nothing that can be considered a modification though. I just felt after 15 (almost 16 now) years of ownership I needed to give him a bit of a facelift! Maybe that'd be the way to go with the Metro? It's amazing the difference new seat covers and floormats makes. Just do gentle things with it. Shame it's an auto, I can understand you there. But it's still a nice little car and is worthy of a bit of slap!
(I realise this probably makes me sound a bit pathetic, not slamming it or putting coilovers on etc., but I'm too bloody old for all that now! I want to get from A to B safely, that's about it. My teenager days are long since behind me!)
Hi kevtee & leetee,good to see you starting the metro but I would definitely keep it standard and put into something like anglian car auctions,need to send leetee on a cameraman course aswell😂only joking good to see him with you,look forward to the next episode kev😊👍
Hydro-elastic suspension sag can be a pain to cure but pumping back up can hold for years (or hours....)
I heard you can fit MGF suspension to a metro and get rid of the Hydrogas set up but with it being a low mileage auto you’d be better of keeping it standard maybe if another one pops up at some point
Quite the nice car basic and good if it's got a tape player bonus

I remember the days when we used to break those regularly and used to sell some many he spheres and depollution the he system , used to smell like fish 🐠 😂
Classic car auction surely ?
One day I'll have a nice car like this one day

Kev l would keep it standard but l would register it as a vintage vehicle then you won't have to pay to pad tax or insurance all you will have to pay for is the fuel and then take it on its first vintage car rally then you will win a trophy
Get a ticket on it and keep it standard and raffle it off
nice 😂😂😂
brake switch , im part in to video so excuse if i not watched all way lol
Central locking to sort out
Take to some classic car shows with your new truck.
Is the metro a mascot for the channel Kev ? Asking on behalf of all subscribers
SuspenTion?? 🙂 It's suspension!
Don't do any mods. As others have suggested, get it back to show room standard inside and out and flog it to a collector, or stick it in storage for another ten years
Mine passed it MOT last week i have the same issue my door lock on the same door.
You’re wasting your time pumping up the fluid, as it’s the gas that has gone.
You are just replacing the space where the gas was with fluid. The suspension will be very harsh with just extra fluid in it.
Front suspension units need removing and sent somewhere to be recharged. Hydrolastic suspension services do this. 🤘
This is when Britian made stuff now look at Britian .
you should keep trading up till you you get a sports car
maybe do a raffle! pound per ticket with a maximum of 1000 tickets. £1000 earned minus costs if all tickets sold
In a pig shed an complaining about a smell......
Can we get rid of the music please?
Sorry I couldn’t watch that humming noise was a bit much.
Not another car youtuber jeesus , i started watching for the scrapping work , just sick of seeing these kinda vids on youtube now
You know you can scroll past and watch someone else if you're not happy,this is the way forward for kev and I for one will watch and enjoy
You obviously don't watch much of my content otherwise you would know I dont work with scrap cars anymore.... I'd probably unsubscribe for the sake of your fragile mental health 👍
