Red face Workin' some more

I've been following the threads for Johnny Mullets Geo and ebachervile's CRX.
They have inspired me to get back to work on my Metro.
Soooooooo
Last week I dropped the oil pan and replaced the noisy connecting rod bearings. Luckily it appears there was no damage to the crankshaft. I can't take the time right now to do the complete overhaul. I decided to do what was necessary for continued road worthiness until I get the Dodge done and the Geo off the road.
Sorry no pics, I was in a rush and didn't take time to smell the oil dripping.
Today I got to work on my headlight covers. Many moons ago the plastic supplier gave me some Lexan. (yes he gave it to me for free)
I laid it out and cut it and screwed it to the old bucket assemblies. Looks pretty good. I will give you pic's tomorrow. I got the idea from CoyoteX' XFI.
Thanx All,
S.
