Boot hinge - either have exposed hinges ( I think morris minor boot hinges or similar) or more modern internal hinges I think from a BMW 3 series.

Doors - The Banham doors do not fit. There were two ways of recifying this either, lots of Chopped strand matting and bodyfiller and shape to suit

OR cut the door skin off the internal banham moulded bit and use the modified original metro doors to profile the skin to a more realistic fit. The door hinges also require modification to get a good opening. I did a "how to" word document of how i did the BAT doors PM me if you want a copy.
All good advice. I had a X99 a number of years ago and just had external hinges on the boot - plus the doors stuck out at the bottom!
