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...

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

Hope I didn't let the cat out of the bag. :P

There, now everyone can see what you're working with.

Nice hoist.

You need to "fill 'er up"!

"The paint is perfect" :lol

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... :lol

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
