Very good job! Your cleverness is required on this project. Your starter engages now, right? I store my Geo outside now, covered, but the moisture is taking its toll these days.

Here are some photos. The starter is visible along with the throttle cable.
The other one shows the modified thermostat housing.

The car was white but the front end was crushed. I found a nice red Metro with the front end completely stripped of everything at Pick-N-Pull. Rather than drive 40 miles home for tools, I wrapped a rag around a hack saw blade and cut the front end completely off somewhere around the crank pulley/engine center line. What a job! Then I welded the whole thing to replace the crushed front end.

Also note that for some odd reason I mounted the coolant temperature sensor in the little bypass line from the water pump to the thermostat housing. I was getting in a hurry so it may have been a short cut.
