In '04 a friend had a 1990 Geo Metro 1L of FURY 5-speed that he donated to our ever growing list of off road street vehicles. He bought the car for $400 and it barely passed smog. He was broke at the time and you really can't go wrong for $400 for a running vehicle in southern California where having a car is required by everyone.Having a garage and a lot of beer and time on our hands, we decided to make an off-road metro. We removed the doors, cut everything off, removed the interior and basically left it as a shell of a car. After a bit of planning we ended up welding a roll-cage and getting it in to a off-road state.We beat the shit out of that thing. Man, those 'pizza-cutter' rims and tires would roll the bead on even the slightest turn. I think we spent more time changing tires than actual offroading.After a huge jump and massive front end damage we broke the radiator and could not repair it enough to make it 3 hours on our way back home. About an hour in to our journey home we were running on 2 cylinders. We would pull over every 30 mins or when we saw the heat gauge peak and dump some water in to it. Eventually we made it home but the 1L of Fury was toast.It sat in my driveway for about 6 months until we found a donor metro. We pulled the motor out of a '96 1.3L automatic metro and attempted to install it in the '90. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from the install, but the 1.3L didn't really fit and we ended up bending the front frame rails (after cutting off the entire front end) with a farm jack to make the mounting holes line up. With no front end, there was no where to mount the radiator, so we opted to lay it flat against the hood where we cut a hole for the air intake and welded a oven pan that we cut in half for somewhat of a ram air over the cooling system.We ended up with this as our final design:It was barely street legal but passed smog at a somewhat shady smog shop that didn't really care what we brought in and in what shape.We continued to beat the shit out of this thing for a year or so then it sat. No roof and no heater meant it was a cold son-of-a-bitch in the wintertime.I was moving out of my current place where it sat in my driveway and decided to donate it to a friend to be used as a BurningMan art-car.Soon Snowjob was born in 2010!It's now 2013 and Snowjob made two trips to BurningMan but now sits at a friends house in Los Angeles rotting.It ran when they parked it and so I plan on bringing it back to San Diego in August to cut all the SnowJob shit off of it and bring it back to its original roots. Unfortunately, in order to make SnowJob not tip over, they removed the front suspension and welded the frame down. I'm hoping I can grind off the welds and reinstall struts and springs to bring it back to it's original shape. Making it street legal will be a "stretch", but I have a little bit of faith in this beast to give it a shot.This thread is to post pictures my original build and future build of the Off-Road Metro. I haven't seen the car in over 3 years and have a feeling I'm going to have to fab up a ton of shit to make it "legal". I may need to ask for some pictures of your current metros to see where things belong.
