Didn’t have a lot of time to work on the car but I managed to get it on the ground, get the trunk lid off, and get the motor and transmission located properly. After that I made the motor mount and rear mount. I still…

With the suspension looking good and in place it is time to actually build a rear frame for the car. I had to put the trunk back on for the next part. With the trunk on I had to put the car in the air…

The new setup on the rear end was much better, so I mounted the other side in place and checked square on the car. Everything is right on square this time and nothing is more than 1/8 inch off anywhere. So I am happy with…

I didn’t like the setup the way it was so I cut it off the car and started to redo it. Now the control arms sit at a 40 degree angle. That looks much better and should make it ride about right. One side is…

The last two days have been getting the car squared up. Since the concrete was flat and the lift arms were square it made getting it lined up much easier. I started by squaring up the front end and getting some chalk lines on the…

Today I cut out the brackets out to make the lower mount for the suspension. It took a while to get everything shaped properly so I only got one side built. I will weld up the other side tomorrow. Once I get the lower sides…

First step in trying to get the chassis rolling is to build the suspension parts. The first part I need is the top of the strut tower. So I pulled the suspension off the vert body so I could get a template of the strut…

This video pretty much explains everything about how to replace the top on a Geo Metro or Suzuki Swift Convertible. Just remember that it needs to be warm and sitting out in the sun when changing tops and it will be easy to do.
