Hello.

I enjoy tinkering, technology, and working on cars. In the past I've had several interesting cars; several VW diesels, a Honda Insight 2dr, and a bunch of other stuff.

I've got a daily driver, and I decided to pick up a Geo Metro to work on, get up and running, and perhaps use as a daily driver once it's all up and going.

Last weekend I bought a 1997 Metro. Guy said it needed a head gasket and rings, had a receipt from the mechanic, even. I thought it would be a good project.

Got it home, pulled it into the garage, pulled the exhaust, intake, and head. Boom. Big ol' hole in the middle of the block...

Looks like it's going to be a heckuva project. I'm on the hunt for a new 4cyl block, and while I'm at it, I might see what it takes to make it a manual.
