Hey everyone, Just bought a 1992 Geo metro! So stoked. haha I plan to fix it up while I drive it and can't wait to start modifying things :] 5 spd, this car is a lot of fun to drive and handles excellent. No rust except a few patches on the body that someone messily bondo'd. Needs new paint badly. I think it might need a motor mount but so far that'd be about the only thing I can tell mechanically that it needs. Runs great but looks like dump. That's all I care about though, I figure I will have a lot of fun going to junk yards and getting random parts. Basically I want to make this thing look like a late 80s volkswagen. So new round headlights, hood modification, new rims(something simple), and maybe vw taillights (off a junker old jetta or something) I don't know how hard it would be but I can't stand the gauges for the metro so I wonder if I could modify something to replace it? roof rack is like top of my list. That would get me in the right direction but before I do any of that I have to do a tune up and replace a driver's side door interior panel and a driver's side door handle. Interior has quite a few questionable spots and stains. *barf* Sorry I'm rambling, just excited. I'll upload pictures once I clean it out a little better.

haha yeah It's going to be a fun project I can't wait. I'll upload pictures tomorrow night. Gotta take some "before" pictures before I start messing with anything. Just got it tonight so I still have to get the title transferred and my insurance/tag swapped over and then I'll be tearing the road up! Thanks for all the welcoming. |

Pictures! So she looks kinda rough, needs new paint soon lol. It's a start though. Has been treated rough but from what I can tell is mechanically sound minus a few things here and there. Old age stuff. Just needs some attention. Anyway, cleaned it all out (attempted to) inside with armor all and then degreased engine area, engine, hood, gas cap area (behind hinge), and all the plastics/rubbers and wheels. These are the before pictures though. Also started a new thread because I think I may have goofed and got something wet that should not be wet ha. Cars running weird now? http://geometroforum.com/topic/4867993/1/ Here's the ugly silver bullet though! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A lot of work ahead of me! Oh and don't mind the king kong battery. It was in there when I got it. Seems like it's for a boat? ...People disgust me! |
