1995 Hatchback I insert a cassette and it spits it out. I select FM and no sound on any channel selection. I select AM and all is well on any station. No error codes. No LOC code. Any suggestions? |

radio antenna.... IF it won't keep a cassette in, it could be a funny metal tang that isn't positioning proper to hold it right and it instantly ejects. never had one of these apart to fix the cassette thing, but i have 2 of them that do the same thing Edited by MR1 Kingsbury, Apr 14 2018, 10:02 PM.

Yeah, there are a couple things I need to fix, but it is one of those things that I had to have. I owned a ratty 1990 metro that I drove many years ago when I was young and poor as dirt and have always said it was the best and funnest car I ever owned. I was willing to pay more and will be enjoying it and fixing it for a long time, God willing. The way I see it, that car will pay for itself within two summers with fuel, plates, and insurance savings.

To bad you are not in the UP! 55,000 miles? Original? Wow, how do the frame horns look? |

I’m not sure what frame horns are, but I saw nothing but original painted surfaces without rust throughout. I plan on protecting all the metal surfaces I can with epoxy paint and/or undercoating mixed with unicorn piss or something... I haven’t quite figured it out yet, I’m still researching/learning

Thanks for the pics, now I know. No luck uploading a pic, but my Geo has only painted surface and no rust. If I look really close there may be a trace of rust at the seam. I plan to remove that with maybe a sand blaster and then a trillion coats of epoxy paint. I may also consider lubricating it from the inside using lanolin based Flex Film via a small access hole and a special flex spray nozzle. |
