Just wanted to say hello,this is my first post on any forum of any kind so this is all new to me and if I make mistakes sorry,I have a 99 swift and recently bought a 98 metro 1.0 in not running condition,first it was to be used in a demolition derby but the timming belt tensioner fell apart and it jumped time and died before the owner stripped the interior and took the glass out,then it was put on a trailor going to be scrapped when I found it stopped him and gave $50 more than he thought he would get at the crusher.I thought this would be a good restore as a father son project since it has 0 rust anywhere.I'm rebuilding the head now and hope to have it back on in a week or two and then have it painted.If/when i can figure out how to post pictures I will be putting up the before,during,and after photos.

Welcome to your new forum, duck98! :coffee

Forums are scary, eh. :ahh :ahh
Your introduction is in Introductions :thumb :thumb

The forum will not send you an email when someone responds to you. Best bet is to bookmark the log-in page and any pages you want to revisit like your posts. I have bookmarks in folders on my Firefox browser. This link may help: Navigationg the Forum

That said, you will have to come back and visit the forum regularly. Some of us live here. :banana

This link may help in posting pictures: Posting Images So it may be a new experience getting a FREE photo hosting account on Photobucket, tinypic or ImageShack. It was for me and now I have two. :smackface

nice save, i have saved 3 myself. my first metro i got when i was 13 for free because it didn't run so i made effort to fix it. then my father stepped in and we got it running and cleand up so great. second metro i saved was a blue 4 door when i was 17 it was being used by animals as a house. it was so nasty. 3rd metro i got was being used as a storage shed and i saw it many times never moved. they said it didnt run so i figured it out and it was the wire to the clutch thing idk some safty thing so you cant start it if the clutch was not pushed in. well i hooked it up and well whata ya know it runs....pretty ok... :p like to hear good junk to treasure stories. wata reuse.
