Metro Frame can be saved!?!?!?

Just wanted to share a link with you guys that I stumbled upon.

On mine I've been shooting 15W30 done any factory hole I can find in that area until it's leaking onto the floor. I'm giving it a POR15 Treatment very soon. Especially with the talks of 8 bucks a gallon gas!

Dude that is sweet! I am needing to get mine fixed real soon. I rotated the tires and the left front was stuck. I started whacking it with a hammer and I seen rust falling, so I looked under and seen the crack in mine became a gaping hole!

I will do what I can to save this Metro and hopefully post pics of the repair job when I do mine.

Last winter I stored my Metro but considering gas prices I am thinking about driving car year round now. Frame on my car is in good shape so I am considering the POR 15 idea or spraying chain lube spray grease on under body. This was mentioned in a previous thread. POR 15 seems like a good thing if done correctly and less messy than spray grease.

Whether I store my Metro or not may come down to how my winter car holds up. Obviously best protection from rust is storing the car. Iowa winter roads get loaded up with salt.

Dude, I spent 8 hours repairing my 97 hatchback, 1.0, frame 2 days ago.
It worked!! Same area as yours, we built around where it had rotted, hope
it holds up. Chris Worcester ny

I'm sure glad that Oregon doesn't use salt.
