1993/4 Suzuki Swift that I "acquired" for $200.oo Until recently it was sidelined because I was stubbornly chasing a 1/4 ton Ranger V8 truck project, but at this time I have to get a set of wheels on the road ASAP. So the focus shifted... I'm pretty sure this pic goes way back to 2010 or even earlier: ![]() Forlorn, abandoned, lost in the weeds and the priority lists...

Wow, sounds like a project for sure. Welcome to the forum. I wanna see some pics! I can't wait to see some wall of shame material as you tear down the car and make things nice again. |

Nice picture, and acquiring the picture posting skills. As for the "RAT-ME-OUT" feature, when you do, you may notice a line that says "Show that you edited this post" and you can un-check that box, although in some cases it' nice to know. And the "YDP" is a common occurrence with these cars. Mine was run out of oil. His mechanic uncle could not fix the low oil pressure so I got mine for $300, delivered in the driveway... with the engine in pieces in the hatch. "I'm thinking "ROADSTER" for the most part" and you can get Moon Disk hubcaps that will add 1 mpg to your FE. I sort of went roadster. I added a header and street/race cam along with the glasspack. Basically everything in my signature below and I still get 55-57 mpg highway. 55? You are only young once but you can be immature your whole life.

I am almost 59 and I enjoy my Swift powered Metro as much as my 30 year old 350 Chevy powered ski boat. Rock on brother from a different mother.

I think you'll find 16" wheels to be a bit much. 15 x 6.5" with 195/50-15 is the biggest you want to go, even then they'll rub a bit on full compression. |

Nice to see you like to garden as well, I do enjoy growing food, sure is nice to taste food you worked to grow. I don't care so much for the flowers as much as food. Love the taste of garden food, healthy fresh and yum |

It was over here: http://geometroforum.com/single/?p=915776&t=5524814 In your GOTTA FIND: 1993 Geo Metro Headlight Assly, & Bumper Cover thread. Don't forget, you gotta keep the Swift hood, if you use Swift lights. Metro hood for Metro lights. Also the upper bumper cap. Oh, and matching corner marker lights... http://www.ebay.com/itm/190612542749 Link found in this thread here: http://geometroforum.com/topic/4993947/ |

Get a factory service manual, even the one for the Metro should work fine, just some small differences. It is the only way to go. Check ebay. |

I do two searches on eBay. #1: http://www.ebay.com/1993+geo+metro+manual+shop #2: http://www.ebay.com/1993+geo+metro+manual+service Between 'shop' and 'service' I think the bases are covered. Your "ship to" location will be different and it could be free, like Kmart.... |

![]() Had to pull together a couple of links for this. Ok, so. I don't know what it's made of. Metal, plastic, or what. But in this thread: Front air dam metroschultz said this:
In this thread: Schultz' Metro; Getting ready for the trip to Ashtabula for 'Palooza He posted this pic: ![]() I do not know if that pic is of that component. But maybe! |
