Greetings fellow web-friends!
I know this site hasn't been looked after for a while, but I wanted to let you know that I am definitely still working on this car. I started a different, more immediately important, project at the school I attend, and this coupled with the actual school has meant the poor Geo Engine has sat in the garage for just over a month now. This does not make my brother (who I rent from) very happy, but he is busy with rebuilding a house (here) so he doesn't use the garage much anyways...
So hopefully over winter break I will have time to finally get around to finishing up the engine, and then put it in the car. It will really help reduce my fuel cost, and I don't think gas prices will stay below the $2 mark for long after January 20th, if you catch my drift. Okay, I will give you some pictures next time, I will probably just start posting information about this Geo for a while.

| Pictures: Here it is, naked. Rabbit Tracks, standing by.  With all that blue tape.  The manifold, with brown primer: Rustoleum special!  | Not much news, except that I painted the intake manifold today. It is going to be a wonderful brown color. Ha ha! No way, man! That is just the primer, a Rustoleum special to be sure. Here you can see the intake before and after shots. I used a foam brush applicator, mostly because of laziness, and it doesn't look too bad until you get it in bright light: I will probably use an airbrush to paint it the actual color. Right now I am having a hard time deciding, but I think I will paint the intake manifold white and the throttle body red to match the head. In the picture you will notice a small bowl and spoon, containing the necessity of life: Ice Cream! Delicious "Rabbit Tracks", although I would prefer some homemade chocolate fudge stuff. |
