New to forums and have a few plans for THE METRO -new radiator (leaking when bought) -tune up -rust proof the bottom -sway bars -camshaft -advance timing/cold spark plugs -compression test -tires/alignment That paint is perfect. No changes to that! First thing was the oil change... ![]() [IMG][URL=http://s411.photobucket.com/user/tourehughes/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsnypp411i.jpeg.html] [/URL][/IMG] |

Move the compression test to the top of the list so you know what you're dealing with! Always interested in seeing people's projects. Welcome aboard! |

Thank you stubby79 . I think I will. I already ordered the new radiator, but who knows how long the original was leaking and how long the temp was dancing close to hot |

I've only seen one pic of her that's not under the hood. Was going to ask for more, but...![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hope I didn't let the cat out of the bag. There, now everyone can see what you're working with. Nice hoist. You need to "fill 'er up"! "The paint is perfect" Looks like a project you can have fun with. |

My original one was just as pretty. When you poked it, the coils turned to a fine power in certain spots...

The "classic metro" made my day. It belonged to a girl according to the empty Burger King bags and hair supplies in the back. It was a victim of frame rot, lost an axle when it happened. But not much you can ask for of a car that has 40k. It is going to be a late birthday gift to a friend who fell in love with the duck after driving it |

towed the new metro back to ny with a bad frame horn...its already welded back to life but needs a new axle to be driven again. also got the duck balanced and aligned. the car breaks necks everywhere it goes...this morning the duck was challenged to a race by a loaded uhaul van!! slowly but surely the duck is coming together![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
