Hello Everyone I rebuilt a 3 cylinder engine about a month ago. The car runs great. Trouble is the body is falling apart because I live in Canada and they use salt very liberally all winter. I was hoping to buy a replacement from southern states, hopefully one with a blown motor, but a good body, so I could put my engine in it. Would like to keep driving a Metro but the prices I see advertised are a little much, but they are likely good running cars. Any way thought I'd put it on here, maybe someone has an idea of how to find one. I bought this car 9 years ago and it now has 300,000 kms on it and hasn't given me much trouble at all. Great little car. |

Welcome gazunk Don't give up completely on finding one in Canada. I got my originally southern U.S. never winter driven vert in Mississauga from an American immigrant and my 94 almost completely rust free hatch from the Whitby area. It needed a clutch and some other minor things lke door handles etc. but is now my DD. It was $700. The vert set me back $3700 but barely has 100k km and is truly mint. My hatch spent more than half of its' mileage being towed behind an RV and I suspect was not winter driven much at all. |
