Got all the main wiring done in the dashboard and all the components are installed so it was time to mount the dashboard. Everything fit together pretty well except the upper bolts that hold the dash are too short so I will have to get…
I put the carpet down on the interior today and fitted the rear plastic panels around the roll bars. The carpet was easy to put down on a flat floor. It just took time to cut and fit it into place. After that was done…
I am slowly putting all the information I have gathered over the years and will post it here as I write it up. So far there is not much here but over time I will keep adding more and hopefully over time I will have…
The front end of all Geo Metros will eventually rust out unless the owner is very active in maintaining the area to protect from rust. To protect the suspension from rusting out it needs to be coated with rust proofing or even oiling it will keep rust away. If you are the owner of a Metro that is not in good shape in my opinion it is possible to repair the car without having to junk it. This is how I would do it if I was going to repair it.
Used some old computer cases and made sub boxes. I also closed up the last of the holes in the back. I need to glue up the joints but that is no big deal to finish. I also closed up a bunch of small gaps…
I had some other stuff to work on today so I didn't get a lot done. I fit the parking brakes and gear shifter back in the car. The parking brake was easy, I just had to cut the mount out of the old car…
Lot more random stuff installed. First thing was to put the rear inner fenders in. I used some plastic garbage cans and cut the bottom 10 inches off it and fit it into the fender. I riveted them in place. I will need to seal…
This weekend has been a lot of things that don't photograph well again. I started with sealing up all the holes and gluing shut everything that is no longer being used in the car. I had to seal the cowl opening for fresh air and…
Figured I would put a quick post on here showing how the dashboard looks right now. I have the rear view mirror replacement screens mounted in the stock vent locations. The center of the dash has been more or less cut away and using the…
The Metro has the same transmission as the Suzuki Swift and several other cars made by Suzuki. All of them are more or less a bolt in swap. Usually the only difference is in the shifter rod or shifter brace rod. So if you get a junkyard trans take those two parts as well and you will have no problems.
