Gathering parts

We made the ultimate find at a local pull it yourself junkyard...an 89 Suzuki Swift GTI It was completely intact when we found it. First thing, we took off the bumpers and side mouldings, as well as the seats. Then, we went back and got the mounting brackets for the side skirts, steering wheel, hood, and GTI badge. On a third trip, we got the headlights (because it turns out the Swift headlights are a slightly different shape than Metro ones). It was an amazing find, as these parts go for big money, and all we paid was junkyard prices! The only unfortunate part is that we did not grab the motor...someone else came in and took the head, leaving the motor wrecked, and it's not like those heads are easy to come by.

It's pretty amazing how much of a Metro you can fit in another Metro. This was the hatchback filled with 2 bumpers, side skirts, driver's seat, AND passenger seat...plus Chris and I.

Metros make amazing pickup trucks.
