Exclamation Metro Thrashing

I've been lazy and neglectful.
Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.
I have decided it is time to stop futzing around and get to the business of re-building my Geo.
I am at the point where I must put a quart of oil in every other week just to get back and forth to work.
It leaks and has much blow-by.
I have a tranny from a Swift sitting in the garage waiting to be transplanted and many other thing to get done..
If I am to make a 550 mile trip in with peace of mind and drive my own Geo I must get on the ball.
So today begins the Saga of the Geo Thrash.




Me on the way to the Boneyard.
Do people really wake @ 08:00, $#it I just went to bed @ 3:30.
I believe if I can find another motor and re-build it,
Mate it to the tranny in the garage,
Then replace the unit.
I can save a little time.
However, todays trip was fruitless, other than the exercise from walking around for 2.5 hours.
SO
I went to Ralphs and picked up my Integra seats. I've had them stored their for a long time. I know they will be more comfortable than the 200 thousand mile wore out seats in the Geo now.



Aren't they pretty?
I forgot they were charcoal gray,
well nothing else in or on the Metro is color matched.
More tomorrow,
Schultz
