I'll be away most of the next week+, so if majordomo gets drunk and 
neglects his duties, I won't be able to dry 'im out till the new year.

I don't have one either but have long wanted one, as I've been in several 
lost situations in the desert (Nevada) where it would have been most
reassuring to be able to confirm my estimated position!

What's missing from this is the biggest factor by far; the environmental damage
caused by the manufacture of the vehicle vs how long it lasts. The Geo Metro
should have been called the "Bic" (as in throw away pen). The limited scope
of this analysis is a classic demonstration of the narrow thinking process
used many so called "environmentalists". They are often more interested in
dictating "values" (theirs) than saving the planet.

 The "Big Bang" will recycle everything.

Subject: To buy or not to buy?

Hi, everyone. I'm very close to taking the plunge on a 66 88", and I need
some advice. The body panels are in great shape with only a few minor
dings. The frame has a new rear crossmember, and is reasonably solid. There
is a lot of rot in the door pillars near the hinges, and in the footwells.
One of the side curtains has a broken mount, and is slightly rusty aroung
the frame.The drivetrain is all original(no overdrive), and is reported to
be trouble free. The engine has a Weber carb and headers. It is not
currrently running, but the owner assures me that it just needs a set of
points and new gas. Any offer I make will be contingent on its being
driveable. He is asking $2500, but he might thake $2000.
    Anyway, being a rover novice, I would like to pick your collective
brains as to whether this sounds like a reasonable price. I tried to
inspect all the areas mentioned in various publications, and the vehicle
seems pretty good to me. However, I've seen a huge variety of prices
recently, and I'm wondering if this seems worth it. Thanks in advance, and
Merry Christmas.

RE: bonnet mount for the 90
Are the bonnets for the 90's that much different than the sIII's?  My tire
mount is all above the bonnet, and therefore would not intrude into the
engine compartment.

Rear door should be able to be drilled and bolted on assuming you have the
hinges with your door.
