sedan20 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 i may... i may... but it wont happen for quite a while... something either has to go catastrophically (sp?) wrong with my current setup, or i have to finish all of my other projects before i take this on. lmao. but yeah, looks like ill be showing it in the upcoming copperopolis car show on may 5th 2012 (posted a link to it on the events page) and i think that ill riob the sparco mudflaps from my wifes project being that she doesnt want them. lol.... all just thoughts at this point.

Syncro Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 definetly cool and different, tohught about doing something like this with the remnants of my 280z parts car and my wreck tracker, roll overs suck. 1 Quote Link to comment
sedan20 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 thanks.. yeah man.. i thought about doing something like this with plenty of cars, i think if i was to ever have a DO OVER. lol... i would run a subaru platform with a natural AWD setup already. overall im very happy. DEFINETLY keeping it Japanese, this thing has proven its reliability in gold. B) Quote Link to comment
Syncro Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 you should do the easy things first, pretty sure the fuel sell would take less time then adding a 2nd motor or adding an exo-skeleton, not saying not to do those, but more progress is made when the smaller things are done first. 1 Quote Link to comment
sedan20 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 yeah, i agree with you comletely.. right now the datsun is consuming my life for the most part... when i get the datsun road worthy again, ill be reviving THIS beast... maybe not modding it, BUT... i will be building a trailer for it out of some old prelude rear suspension i have lying around from my scrapped attempt at a 1982 prelude bseries swap from a few years ago... the trailer should be perfect... beautiful independant light duty hub/wheel assy's with a million and a half options for trailer wheels :D but yeah the cool thing is that i can build it specifically to hold the Geo as it sits. i plan on using as much light weight metal as possible because the towing vehicle will be the DATSUN... lol.. so i cant wait to get some footage of this build in progress...

Velvetpants57 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 i has a chubby. there is a ford festiva at the rally cross up here with sorta the same feel. its like watching an rc car compete with a full size. very very cool. Quote Link to comment
sedan20 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 lol. thanks man. in a weird... non erect in the pants kinda way :blush: . lol Quote Link to comment
sedan20 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 i just brought it back from sitting for much too long (too embarrassed to say) and drove it to my local onnofficial skid pad for some "urban rock crawling... i wasnt the guy taking pictures, but i like the way these turned out. lol... i love driving it! and i also got a copy of a VIDEO the guy got from his phone too... not the best, but not bad for improv. lol Quote Link to comment
sedan20 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 so EXCITED... i just found this thread.... The Lifted Wagons Thread... my dream is to do a Turbo Desiel Volvo build... one day, one day. Quote Link to comment
sedan20 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 i never got around to posting it up, but its better late than never... the Geo hasn't died, its just simply been re tasked through the recession. lol... i don't have a trailer to tow it to off road parks YET... and driving it out of my neighborhood is risky being that it had expired tags on plates that have been reported "lost" so i keep her up and running as a mule around the house... i just used her to load up a trailer of scrap metal that weighed in at 2000LBS!!! yeah... my beautiful little work horse :D i case you were wondering WHAT it was i called "scrap metal" there is basically 1.5 chopped up cars and randoms in that truck bed! haha... my old "project prelude" and the other half of the pickup i used to make the trailer in the first place. lmao! it towed it like a champ. ---side note... wired registered trailer is officially UP FOR SALE asking $500. its the leftovers of a 1984 Datsun/Nissan 720 Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 close enough to maybe use tracker drive train?? and there are kits to match up the 3cyl metro engine to the tracker trans etc.. so you can keep the 3cyl goodness I wonder if a Mazda M6 FWD V6 engine could be coaxed into the rear of this vehicle? I have heard that this Mazda V6 can be squeezed into a FWD Honda. 2 Quote Link to comment

sedan20 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 just finished maching up the rough draft for the exo with blackmarkit from the forum... heres the shots below, it was recommended that i install a belly bar, well see how that plays out in the long haul.. hopefully this can get started as soon as possible, this, along with other projects has made life extremely difficult.

sedan20 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Just a teaser picture of the progress on the metro... The connection points are sleeved, and the internal crossbar goes through the body and connects to the sliders and the upper portion of the cage. thanks ten times over again to Blackmarkit (here on the forum)...

Spoona_Jay21 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Holy hell.... this is an EPIC GEO!!!!!!!!! damn.... never thought i would have to say that...... 1 Quote Link to comment
Camtron Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS THIS THING IS THE BEST THING!!!!! Props times a babillion man. Looks like sooooo much fun. Who'da thunk the Geo Metro would have been such a popular platform for such crazy modifications. This dude in the next town over turned one into a flatbed truck. It was retarded looking, but you kinda had to give him props for imagination. 1 Quote Link to comment
