Metro's pre-disposal checklist

Since I successfully acquired the '99 Firefly parts car from the hoarder mentioned a few posts back, I'm happy to report I will be selling the winter beater Metro!

Just making a little pre-disposal to-do list for myself...

- better front exhaust pipe: swap back to the Flea
- instrument cluster (has tach + trip odo): swap to the Flea
- driver's seat (better padding): swap back to Flea
- re-install rear bumper bar
- sway bars
- swap out chopped springs
- uninstall & save air dam
- re-install side mirrors
- swap carpet with parts car?
- rear wiper motor & arm
