Redneck Metro

Ive done quite a bit on my metro I just havent posted anything. But Ive put all new floor mats in. Installed a kenwood stereo. straight piped it and it sounds awesome

I put a fender on drivers side because the other fender was so dented in after someone hit me at a bonfire. Also have a brand new Mitsubushi alternator because the

other one broke. I've also painted the rims and the hubcaps. The rims are gloss black and the hubcaps are a bright gloss red. I painted the airfilter cover a gloss black

and put in a new filter and I think that's it. There's probably more but I cant think of them right now

Im thinking about tearing out My camo carpet does anyone know how much bedliner is

i have to say that that is the coolest metro ever and i like the camo carpet better than i would bedliner

i used rocker guard for my floor after i patched the holes and i bought 2 spray on cans for the main section of the floor(i did the floor bottom and 3"-5" up the side of the metal), 2-4 cans would probably be good depending on how much you are planning on putting on, i thought i had enough with 2 and i also rocker guarded the bottom side with the two cans, but Rocker guard is different then bedliner but they are around the same consistency will give you a rough amount to use(each can was 550g so 1.1kg, or about 2.5-3lbs and you can convert that to oz.). ooh yeah the car was a 1991 volkswagen 4 door jetta, incase you were interested in the area i painted.

Well the reason i took out the carpet is it was so covered in mud and it was being torn to poopie oh and my girlfriend puked on it so yeah. It didnt look good at all so I

thought I might as well just paint it or put bedliner, and bedliner seemed like the better option since its tough. also how much did you pay for that spray stuff.

i bought 3 cans, the first 2 i bought for $10 each and the last one i bought another time for $6 on sale(i thought i wouldnt have enough), pretty cheap and if you want to get over spray off try gasoline(or brake cleaner) before it dries. i thought it was pretty cheap for the amount i got, i put a coat of primer on but your not going to be painting the base metal.

Makes me wonder what you and your girlfriend was doing for her to puke

On second thoughts, I don't think I want to know.

LOL. Thats what she said.

My girlfriend wasn't feeling good duh and sweet 30 bucks isnt that much to paint the inside or should I wait and get a pre formed carpet for $140

What about looking for a Rubber matt and put that in your car, it would probably look better then a carpet when it gets wet and dirty, and thats what we have in our trucks but they came stock like that(look at some Chevy's and GMC's). if your interested look for some stuff like 1/8"-1/4" thick, i dont know where you would go to get it but i was thinking of putting it in my car and the only thing i thought of was an Exercise Matt or rubber flooring from a Chevy or GMC.
Also check for a Price on Rock Auto for your Carpet, They say they want $122 but i dont know how much shipping would be.

That thin looks cool, Looks like a lot of fun, to bad u couldn't lock the transmission. U could. Just be really hard to get it out.

Check out a local pond supply place and see if they have 1/8" EPDM sheet (Pond liner), . I've found it prettycheap there, and its tough stuff.

rock auto looks to expensive. I might look at partstrain but ebay looks the best right now

Sorry its been a while since I updated this but my car was in the shop getting a wiring harness installed, and now the TPS isnt working
so I have to get a new one. but since the last update ive cleaned up the engine alot. Even though it doesnt look like it. Ive gotten a
new cold air intake, new passenger mirror and my atltf sticker

Your pulling air out of the engine bay, that would make it a hot air intake. You are better off with the stock airbox.

yeah I guess it would be a hot air intake wouldn't it lol

did you put bedliner in for the floor . that woul probably be the best option

No I havent had the time or money to do that yet. Im still saving money for college...
