    Here's a link for posting pics. Many that join are still working towards that first truck, so you my friend are two steps ahead since you have a trailer too.

    actually the metro is a 3 cylinder 1.0L, pulled the head and had it rebuilt last year but it didnt get enough compression, i thought the head rebuild would be enough for sure since it had 2 burnt valves, but im still getting compression in the 110-120 range so now im going to have to pull the motor and rebuild the short block, i can get the parts for $150 and my engine builder will be in the $200-$300 range assuming the crank is reusable. It has 150k miles on it so i dont know. I am planning on swapping out the crank pulley with an aluminum one and swapping the camshaft with a metro xfi cam to get the mpg up higher. Gonna go ahead and rebuild the tranny myself while the engine is out. The tranny rebuild kit is just $60 so why not. Thats the best thing about having a 3 cylinder is the parts are so friggin cheap.
