I though that maybe you have it. If you do have it, I need it very badly, as my car will not pass state inspection. Thanks, Manny Hi,

I was just surfing and ran across this. Had to drop you a line on job well done. You have a lot more time and skill than I do. Wish I had your welding skills.

And no, I am not joking. My boyfriend has a Metro Convertible I (and the current economy) convinced him to salvage. The engine is partially blown (and the stupid machine shop messed up while repairing it...idiots) and there is a lot of rust on the rocker panels, but he wants to turn it into a really nice cruiser and take it to shows. I think your site and your forum post on ecomodder will be very helpful! Nice to know I am not the only one who likes Metros and sees their hidden potential (hybrid eater). :-) Wow…my dream car.

And Nice plate Brother. I have a 93 XFI that I am getting ready to sale 198K miles. alot of patch work on the rusted frame above A-arms. good enough to get me thru the summer but it still gets 45mpg around town.

What do you think it'll clock mpg-wise? Lurkers everywhere want to know. Rick,

Only ignition and valve cam pretty much distinguish the xfi? Thanx Rick, am I to assume that the engine compartment is virtually the same?

Either way works since all the Metro/Swift transmissions are basically the same. Look on teamswift for a lot more information on the swap. And the 12" moon hubcaps I had on my car were home made so other than what other people have said I have no idea where to get them. I made mine cheap but they didn't look as good close up as they did from a bit of distance :) The transmission can be swapped or just the final drive gears can be swapped.
