It takes two (My little Frankenstien)

I have bought two 1995 Geo metros for 600 bucks each. One has been in a crunch, the other had the tell tale dead center cylinder.

Hence after lots, of parts swapping, I have a nice green Geo sitting in my driveway awaiting registration.

I have replaced the following with either used parts of off the other Geo, or bough them new.

engine 3 cylinder
transmission 5 speed manual
new clutch kit
new drive axles
new brake drums
new brake shoes
new brake rotors
new brake pads
new tie rod ends
new torsion bar ends
new lower control arms
replaced the sealed beam headlights with larger composite ones
replaced steel wheels with factory aluminum custom rims
replaced gauge cluster
new white faced gauges
new double din in dash DVD player with gps and blue tooth, and back up camera
new 4 speaker alpine speakers
new 200 watt 8" bass tube
new hand made rear parcel shelf

Items to be incorporated into the car later as money/time permits:

Key less entry system
power door locks
Power windows
remote start
silent paging alarm
dash vents
economy cam and advance gear
window tint 35% front windows, 2% rear three windows
remote hatch release
transmission drive axle seals (awaiting pick up from the store)
Bi Xenon HID conversion kit (payday)

Having a spare Geo in the back yard for parts has been a god send. I highly recommend doing so if you have the space.

One thing I m looking for, is a new dash board, mines very oxidized, looks bad, and am looking to replace it.

Look for a dash from a 1998 or newer model. These do not seem to deteriorate like the 1995-1997 models.
