  • SC-1 from Rags to Riches in 6 weeks. =)

    A project I picked up 6 weeks ago from a salesman who worked for the Saturn dealership in VA Beach, Va. A fender bender on the highway and I picked up the '01 SC-1 for $275. After some frame work, paint and a few mods here and there, it made for a decent final showing.

    Day one



    Preparing for paint



    Almost Together



    6 Weeks later







    Unfortunately a phones camera doesn't really do the paint justice but does give a general idea. The top is Phantom black pearl (yellow, red and green pearls). The bottom is a Metallic Grey.

          Looks sharp but I do have one question. Why on earth would you spend all that time and money for a paint job like that and leave the black SOHC door handles in place?? I would have found a DOHC pair and had them painted to match the car.

          Other than that, it looks pretty damn good.

            Just in repair and paint only, I'd guesstimate some where around $1,200. Including the price of vehicle.

              That was the plan but I wasn't going to wait around for handles to paint the vehicle. I have a quart of both left over to paint if I end up grabbing a set.

              Thanks for the compliments.
