Ya man it runs and drives, I drove it home when i first bought it, I actually had to put it in my friends backyard bc it has no plates on it right now. but it was beat to hell every body panel was dented and tagged "spray painted on" including the whole inside.
thanks!
thanks man, i really like this forum, been looking for a while but just recently got a new desktop
ya it was rough when I first got it, I wouldn't have been caught dead in that thing, everyone would laugh at it lol
whats up scoobs I have read alot of your build threads, your a pretty smart guy not gonna lie. but ya i sanded and painted the car with spray paint primer, i planned to leave it that way but know i got thinking about rolling the car with rustoleum paint. I dont have much experience with painting this was my first paint job on a car, came out good for like $40. Let me know what you think i should do
ya it was rough
o ya definetly lol
thanks! |

Update on the geo, All these things have been done while she sits in my friends backyard, I get paid today so insurance should be coming soon and temp tag. this geo has only a little bit of rust in the back wheel well barely any, it has 87k!!!! miles on it and the frame horns are in perfect condition, the car has never been wrecked just beat on by the p/o. he would put ramps on the car and jump them with his bike, sit on roof, tag anywhere and put cigarette buds on the ground, etc. Time for me to show it some love!! I actually found the same exact geo metro, same color, motor, everything and u pay n pull and snagged a ton of parts. I wanted the whole damn shell haha. its a 3cyl 5spd fyi -spray painted primer whole car -painted rims -tinted turn signal lights and tail lights (not in pic) - lowered and exhaust by p/o -new complete hatch, driver door (window,mirror,door panel), left front fender, hood, passenger door panel, new steering wheel -stripped out crappy headliner -painted dashboard -seat covers -plugs, wires, fixed iat sensor (no more check engine perfect idle), changed oil + filter, new cv axles both sides, pcv valve, sea-foam!, - misc interior pieces It runs really well now, got about $800 in it all together, cant wait to start saving money |

Good friends, eh. My wife loves her '96. A bit heavier but just the right size for getting around town and... you're right, saving money.
