Interior gutted |
|
I gutted the interior to give it a good cleaning. The past owner of the vehicle was a smoker and the vehicle just smelled bad. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All clean |
|
After the carpet was taken out, the metal was scrubbed with cleaners and a wire brush to get rid of all the pop, dirt and other trash that had collected under it |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All gone |
|
After the seats and carpet was taken out we also removed the side interior panels and cleaned all the dust and spiderwebs behind them. We tried to get as much of the smell out as we could |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Smell? |
|
To clean with we used just plain soap and water, carpet cleaner, windex, armor all and various hazardous sprays that would kill any germs living :) |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Noise? |
|
As you can see fromt the pictures, there isn't much sound dampening in the XFI's. We did drive the vehicle w/o interior and it was crazy loud.
The carpet is just a then layer with hardly any padding. The padding was over the center hump mostlly. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Where's Waldo? |
|
Or where's the engine? The 3 cylinder 1.0 liter engine in these XFI's are tiny. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Cleanliness |
|
This is basically how the engine came to me. It didn't take much attention to get it looking this good. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
Simple |
|
The engine is simple to work on. Everything is right there |

Drivers Interior |
|
As you can see, the interior is very clean |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Drivers door |
|
The vehicle had been well kept |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Drivers side |
|
12" tires are on the XFI's |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Front |
|
Very simple car. Future plans are to change out the headlights to more areo dynamic ones and to fill in the front air dam |
|
|
|

|
Wanna ride? |
|
Drivers and passengers compartments were in great condition |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gotta love it! |
|
Except for 1-2 cigeret burns, the interior was almost perfect |
|
|
|

|
Pass side |
|
Green .... Not sure if I like the color but, if your "earth friendly" or " green minded " this color and the awesome fuel econmoy of the Geo Metro XFI go side by side |
|
|
|
|

|
|
rear |
|
The only body damage this vehicle had was the pass rear hatch near the window. Nothing leaks, no rust just a dent the size of your fist. No future plans on fixing this |
|
|
|

|
|
Spare me |
|
a 12" spare temp tire ..... I've seen lawnmowers with bigger wheels |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pop that hatch |
|
over 10 cubic feet of storage is in the hatch of these vehicles |
|
|
|
|
|

|
Grocery getter |
|
Plenty of room for ods and ends in the back of one of these XFI's. They make for the perfect commuter vehicle. |
