I'm making progress with my Metro, but i'm not so confident that it will be ready for the trip... :(

I am still definately coming, just maybe not in the Metro...

I will know definately if it will be ready by Thursday night.

List of things still to do:

Figure out why alt fuse keeps blowing (thinking headlights drawing too much power...not sure)

Take car to alignment shop and have it aligned and the rear bearings replaced (oil change too)

Take car to performance shop (same place that did turbo stuff) and have him build me some radiator hard-pipes and an intake for it. Also am going to try and see if he can weld on a new idle screw, lol.

Install Radio (after next part)

Remove dash and find short that is causing multiple issues (gauges not working, gauge lights on when key is in car, headlights on 100% of the time, unless switch is on "high beams", get blower motor to work (thinking it's the switch).

I only have about 1.5 hours of daylight each day after i get off of work. I'll have all day Sunday, but it's my b-day and i know the parents are taking me out, and the GF is coming over to hangout. I'll make some time for the car though.

WISH ME LUCK!!!

These Metros have a lot of switched negatives, for most lights the positive is always "on". '95 up have red wires for headlight negatives, to confuse us shadetree mechanics. :ermm: I had to use my factory service manual to figure that out... :news But now my HID headlights are properly working with low and high beams.

I hope you find your short!

Another member is going with a rear sway bar, I'll bring the front.

I'll be there with my daughter Britney, but only bringing one car, the white hatchback. Looking forward to seeing everybody. If anybody needs parts or accessories, let me know.
