sedan20 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Alright... a bit slower than promised... but in my defense, life has been crazy. This is the car in a message i got from Blackmarkit when he had finished, and was ready for me to pick it up. and after i fixed the exhaust, and cleaned it up a bit i got it to the Copperopolis car show where i got THESE pictures. shes back in commission baby!next step would be to install the hella lights, and a police issue cruiser center console to run flip switches for all of the controls, and eliminate the ignition cylindar all together. MAYBE add a few more things to the super sturdy exo. 1 Quote Link to comment
TheTom Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hey can you get a couple rear engine pics, and maybe a few of the front and rear suspensions?? just got my geo metro last week and i looked at it. it a lsi and its interior is perfect for being 21 years old clear coat is going on its roof . I was crossed between fixing up little things and flipping it. or modding it. but just want to see what i'd be getting into with a project like this. if i keep it though it has to get off these 12'' rims though... And by the way your Car is TITS DUDE. 1 Quote Link to comment

And by the way your Car is TITS DUDE. thankyou first of all... i didnt come into this idea without my fair share of opposition. I was told countless time that i was just dumb for even thinking it. I really appreciate the outpouring of accolades the internet has given me. dude, by all means, immitation is the most sincere form of flattery. wouldnt it be cool to have a whole army of these little monsters? LOL! Mod AWAY! I never actually installed an engine over the rear wheel portion, although i really do think it would be AMAZING, im debating keeping the Geo as is and either posting it for sale, OR stashing it, and building a RWD turbo diesel sedan... maybe from a late eighties, or early ninties Mercedes. We will see, ive got to have more money stacked first.... EITHER WAY, i assure you i will post more pictures of the build up to date, shortly. Currently the car is in the hills over an hour away from my house, spending some much needed time in the woods. :D hehe This is just too awesome. Geo Metro: Combat Edition ^^^ LOVE IT! you got me thinking... i may just rename the whole thread. (I wish there was a deep thought emoticon, id use it here) update: I renamed the thread... good call Kirden :D Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Haha, perfect. Need to get someone to make a Combat Edition badge for it, or a decal to go across the top front bar on the exo :P 1 Quote Link to comment
sedan20 Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 funny you should mention that... i was just trying to imagine what would be best laser-cut into a piece of sheet metal and welded into the diamond shaped void at the bottom of the a pillar over the front wheels... in the exo...."Geo MetroCombat Edition"This seems most fitting.

TheTom Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 how did you raise it. (steps *photos*) and what size rims aswell as tires do you have on it. and whats the rim make Quote Link to comment
sedan20 Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 how did you raise it. (steps *photos*) and what size rims aswell as tires do you have on it. and whats the rim make I cut off the lower spring perch similar to what you would do to complete the Datsun suspension modification where you install newstyle coilovers on a 510... but instead of remounting it lower like most people do to lower a car, i remounted it higher with a 1.5" spacer... I had to compress the crap out of the spring, but i made it fit... not it lifts it about 2 inches... the 1.5" spacer, and a small lift from having additional spring tension. it worked out great. The rear, i just added a rubber spacer under the spring itself giving it about an inch lift in the rear... this leveled the car's natural rake out. I drove it around like this for quite some time... then i installed big wheels, and then chopped a bunch out of the wheels wells.. so they looked bigger. finally after installing the hefty exoskeleton, it seems to have compensated for the custom lift. I need to reinvent a way to raise it again. Quote Link to comment

Irishfella Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Love what you did to your Geo Metro and had been reading this since I started putting my 2nd one back together, you inspired me to make one of my own! 1 Quote Link to comment
sedan20 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Sooo.... Ive reached the point in my life where I own two legitimate 4x4's and the Geo spends more time as a paper weight than it does on a trail. Its not that I dont like it, cause i LOVE the car, but i need the parking spot desperately. So, after much deliberation, and thought ive decided i would like to see the car in use rather than simply hoarded among my many other vehicles. I cleaned it up, and took some pictures today. Id like to find someone who can truly repurpose it. Since im not sure what i can, and cant get for it, i decided to price it at something i view as "reasonable"... and well go from there.Ill include a mod list in a bit.FOR SALE: $2950 obo - email me (mrsedan20@gmail.com), if your interested Quote Link to comment

Syncro Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 This is getting tempting, I could road trip it out there, but its an awful lot more money when I consider the cost of fuel and expenses just to get out there and back. Quote Link to comment
