I needed an I beam. So I find this guy in the classifieds selling just what I wanted, a 10 foot S5x10 beam. I get there and I am surprised to see a very clean example of a 92 metro in the driveway.
So while we get the beam I chat with the guy about his metro and he tells me he modified it. I get even more interested and mention I know a couple people who modify metros too. He then proceeds to tell me how it was originally a stick with the 1 liter engine, that he installed the sprint turbo bumpers and skirts, and swapped the drivetrain to the 1.3 with an auto trans.
After that, I explained the people I know do pretty much the opposite. I talked about the metro XFI and a few ecomods, but he really wasn't into that.
What's funny is that I'm sure he thought "why would someone do that" just as I did at some point or another during the conversation, but for totally different reasons.
