So the ones in the junkyard are all ran out of oil, thats the only thing that kill these things. Even a good junkyard motor will start burning oil shortly after I install it. To fix the issue, you have to drill 2 extra oil drain holes in the piston. I figured I could either get a junkyard motor that will maybe run for 20k more miles before oil consumption kills it, or I could rebuild mine with fixed pistons and run it for another 200k.

Wow, That brings back memories. I was handed a 96 Geo Metro to play with. And since the previous owner looked like she used it for a demolition derby contender. There wasn't one panel or door or even the top that wasn't seriously damaged. I thought I would try my hand at auto-body repair, just because. Amazingly, I did teach myself after many many times of redoing the same areas and not liking how they looked. But then I finally understood how it was done and refurbished that car back to new condition. Even the inside headliner and seats, carpet and you name it. It was amazing the difference in that vehicle once I was finished refurbishing it. The new paint finish was near perfect and the local body repair guy stated he couldn't have done it any better and was amazed I did that on my first attempt. And it was that same red color as well...

I loved my Geo metro. They were incredible on gas. I used to shut the AC off to get more horsepower to merge into traffic. Mine starting using huge amounts of oil and I suspected it had a broken ring. Thanks for sharing.

In Canada, the Suzuki Swift version used a 4 cylinder, and this car was also sold as a Chevrolet Sprint and a Pontiac Firefly, using the 3 cylinder. There was a convertible version of those. We had a Geo Metro with the 3 cylinder and automatic for a while. It was "cheap and cheerful", but not your first pick to be in for a collision with a Mack truck. My main memory of it is of following a truck on a highway in thick fog at night, seeing his tail lights jump up and down, and then following him over a dead deer. We had fur on the underside for a while. 270,000 miles is really impressive, as is 50 mpg (62.5, in Imperial gallons) with the technology of that time. We aren't making the great advances in mpg I'd like to see.

Nice to see one of these in working condition again! My wife had a '94 when we met; it was a good little runner, getting 45+ MPG on cross-country runs...we have a friend w/ the later style, 2000 one; he's meticulously kept it up over its 20 years, and now has 500K miles on the original engine (he does all his own maintenance/repair work, and keeps a storage unit full of spares, since they were discontinued)!

Got me beat, Steve! I bought a 1992 Subaru Legacy wagon from a co-worker for $150. He'd abandoned it in the employee parking lot for about 3 years. All four tires were sitting on the rims, so I aired them up and put a new battery in it and it turned over about 1.5x and popped right off. I drove it for about 5 years and then gave it to my dad, who is still driving it to this day. Japanese cars from this era were absolutely indestructible.

Them Geo Metros are tough little SOBs. Years ago my cousins were ran off the road while in a Metro it rolled several times and slid upside down into a telephone pole. The car was still running when the first responders arrived.

We had the same year make and model of that POS. Those 3 cylinders were bullet proof for a long time. Head gasket finally went at about 400K miles. We called it "putt-putt". Local kid bought it for 100 bucks and we still see that damn car running around today. Damn thing just won't die.

Reason brother had to get rid of it was it cant handle the winters where we live and eventually from driving it everyday the frame started to rust out.

I had a 1987 Chevy Sprint which was the forerunner to these cars. I bought it brand new and got 327,000 miles out of it. You are correct, for the price they were great cars. I also had a 92 metro and the Geos didn't have the engine and transmission matched as well as the Sprints did. The Geo always seemed underpowered while the Sprint had more than enough. I was amazed at the torque that little 3 cylinder put out as long as you shifted frequently and kept it in the torque curve.

Replaced them with platinums and made it over the bridge in 5th gear and was still accelerating. Great little car. Neon blue. Called her, Doodlebug, because with the hole in the muffler she sounded like a VW bug.

Hmmm, I Vote To Cut DANIEL In Half With Said Band Saw! GEO METROS RULE!!

Damn for a second there, I thought you were gonna take off down the road with the Hood up! Lmao Isn't it amazing how it's always those little "Cheapo, ol' junkers" that can sit for 20 years with Rotten Gas, and no attention whatsoever, and they will fire right up, as long as they have a good Hot Battery. You.could take a really expensive ride, let it get this old, and be mistreated like this, and you would never in hell get it started again w/o spending a small Fortune. I love how these Cars will run damn near on Water. Seriously, there is very little that resembles Gasoline after it sits for this long, in a metal Tank going thru all the Seasons and Temperature fluctuations, there has been a massive amount of Condensation in this Tank which creates a lot of Water. This was a cool video to watch!

I used to have the same exact geo in white, It threw a rod on me at 146,000. I loved that little car with my entire soul, definitely would buy another.

I’m in U.K. and have owned a Suzuki Swift (same car, different name) for ten years. I bought it for just £825 with 14,000 miles on it. It’s been the most reliable car I’ve ever owned in forty seven years of car ownership and by far the cheapest to run.

You should have driven it straight to an auto detailing shop.

maybe you could fix the oil burning and make a vid out of it

I had a '95 in the same car. Most reliable car I've ever owned. I was careful about preventive maintenance and went 239K then turned it over to a 17 year old. He took it to 260K then I sold it to my neighbor. He still has it. I wish I could buy something comparable now. It was cheap to run and cheap to maintain.

I am impressed

I'll buy that off you haha

My dad used to call them sewing machine motors lol

Fascinating homestead, thanks for posting.

Thanks for the video 😇✌️stay safe

We in Europe know this model as a Mitsubishi cold later,,Suzuki Swift. Even Subaru has this model in its program but as a 4x4

If it's around the same vintage it might be the short lived Subaru Justy that we had here in the USA.

The only thing i like about the car is the steering wheel. Many ways to hold onto it.

Easy going little car. Nice.

Also very nice impressions of your homestead and it's surroundings!😉
