Hello! I am a new member here and decided to join because of my latest purchase. I am a country boy used to driving 4X4 pickup trucks and large V8 powered cars. I found a deal on a 1998 Chevy Metro and pretty much got it for free
The car had a dead cylinder and with some help from TeamSwift and other related forums, I was able to rebuild the top end of this little engine with new valves, head gasket kit, and timing belt. Even when the car was running on 2 cylinders, I was getting 30+ MPG and after the rebuild I am pushing 50 now.
All my friends laughed at me at first, but now they hate me when it costs them well over $100.00 to fill up the 4X4 compared to the $35.00 it costs me to fill and can go double the miles. I am glad I found this place and look forward to becoming active here. Here are a couple pics of "The Zimmer"..................
