The 95 Geo Metro is gone. I still have its engine, but a homeless bum we let stay in our basement stole the transmission. (don’t even ask, I’m done with that subject!)

I need to go see if I can get my transmission back, or if it has been melted down into its elements, I’ll have to go buy another – I found one for $150. I also need to rebuild the 3 cylinder engine or just find a replacement for that too. Then I need to alter the engine mounts on the 96. Then I need to get another wiring harness. Then I need to fix the rust. Then I need to lose weight.

Okay, there’s just so much I need to do. The only thing holding me back is money. I’ll probably get the motorbike done in the next couple months, as I hope to have a little money to play with – and I really want to ride.

I have considered getting rid of all the Metro parts I have and saving up for a working model… but I’m not sure about that at this point.

A few days ago, the frame on my ‘95 Geo Metro broke. Here’s some pictures of the broken area for future reference.

I recently bought a 1995 Geo Metro, with a 1.0 litre 3 cylinder engine (the fire breathing G10!)

Sadly, its frame broke today. Well, yesterday actually, it’s 1.25AM now. I have a lot of work to do. I need to remove the engine and gear box, so I can get into the engine bay to weld the frame. Supposedly, the engine and gear box together weigh less than 200 pounds – I’m sure with a couple friends to assist me that I’ll be able to get those suckers out without a hoist!

I’m going to use starscream5000’s G10 engine removal guide at GeoMetroForum.com to do this.

At least I have some projects to keep me busy.
