Today my dad and I finally got time to hit up a junkyard. This morning we went to the local Pick N Pull junkyard and raided the only Geo Metro they had, a 1993.

We walked away with a trunk, tail light, rear bumper cover and hub caps.

I've also been spending nights here and there removing stickers form the body. Here is the Force with hub caps and the stickers removed from door and fenders:

Now here is the good stuff, the new rear lift gate (trunk) and new rear tail light. I also have a new bumper I need to put on, and I need to get rid of the plates at some point:

This is the gap that we need to repair before beginning the paint job:

The Force is now pretty water tight so the tarp is coming off it after several months! I am working on removing the adhesives from the roof and hood, then I plan on building some kind of paint booth and start the painting process. Once the paint job is done I am going to get the EV registered and on the road.
