I think it was around 140,000 miles on the body.
In my area, the roads are salted heavily in the winter to melt the snow. It's really hard on car bodies.
Originally, there was a problem with the front control arm mount. Metros are notorious for rusting out from the inside there. When I had the engine and transmission out, my friend Tim, (user DAOX on this forum) gave me a hand by welding it up from inside the hood!
I actually got some comments later by other Geo Metro folks saying what a good welding job it was!
There is some rust on the rocker panels. I'll have to take a look at those and see what can do about it. I have really enjoyed having my own electric car and would like to keep it on the road for as long as I can!
