    Q&A thread here viewtopic.php?f=61&t=30757

    1995 Saturn SW2
    I got this car about a year and a half ago, when I bought it off of my dad for 100 bucks...i havent worked on it too much but i have quite a bit of parts laying around now so im hoping to have it on the road in a month or so

    Goals

    STAGE 1- get the car cleaned up, nicer body panels, fresher drivetrain, and get my suspension sorted out...i will be taking a mint interior out of my 95 SL2 parts car(youll see why when you get to the pictures)...and the drivetrain form that car as well...since the motor in the car is pretty beat...I also have Sprint 2.0 Drop Springs, ST Struts, a new LUK clutch, SPS Hotshot intake, Black emblems/OEM pinstripe, my Gunmetal Sawtooths, as well as a few other things that will be going onto the car....i plan on driving it this way all summer, including the Dragon(im sure ill put some other suspension realated things on it as well, and brakes too)...

    STAGE 2- next winter depending on my job status and where im at with life..im hoping to take out a loan and rebuild the original motor that im taking out...with forged funness...im thinking the SDA Scat Rods and Hyper pistons, as well as some other goodies...then once that is accomplished...give it some boost via the SDA superchager setup...possibly on around 10psi...this is just in the planning stages...i still ahve alot of stuff to figure out as the time approaches...including whether i can even do it or not...i would also like to do some cosmetic things as well...mayb some nice lightweight 16s, a OEM carbon hood...just simple stuff

    ALLTOGETHER- my main plan with this car is to have something all around...something that handles well that i can take to an AutoX...or just on some twisty backroads....but also somethin i can have fun with at the Strip as well...and something that looks good...im not looking to have the fastest saturn ever made...its more or less just to do something different...i cant wait to see the look on peoples faces when i 1.pull up in a wagon...and 2.over time when they see a frontmount and hear a blowoff coming from a saturn wagon...lol...but well see where it takes me...

    Winter 2007

    this is when i got the car...these are some pictures from what it was...youll see why i am swapping interiors, as the windows were left open on the car for about 6 months by the previous owner....and it was all around trashed besides that

      Spring 2007

      these are pics from when i decided last spring to pull the nasty interior out...here you can actually grasp how bad this car was...this was the last time i worked on it untill now...















      like i said...this was the last time i worked on the car, as i lost my license all summer and therefore lost all motivation

              Re: PlastikAvengers $100 Wagon

              got some stuff accomplished on Monday...got the front bumper back on...headlights(sorta)..but the big accomplishment was getting my new gauge faces in...i bought these last fall from a guy on ebay...he had them custom made...spent almost 300 on em but then wrecked his car and didnt get to use them...these arent overlays, they are complete face replacements...and they fit like factory...im pretty sure they are one of a kind...they are supposed to light up blue at night...but the regular bulbs fail miserably at doing this...so im gonna throw some blue LEDs in there in the future...i also painted the needles red while i was at it...sorry bout the glare on the last pic...

                    Re: PlastikAvengers $100 Wagon

                    were done for the night....pulling apart the waogn is being a bit more challenging...as it has sat for like 3+ years....alot of rusty bolts that dont wanna come off unless a torch is applied..alkot of all around gayness...example

                    we start to pull the brakes apart since the subframes gotta go anyway...the rotors are rusted to the hubs...no bigge...start whacking on the hats to get em loose....and the right side one decides the rotor wants to seperate from the hat...WTF...ive never ever seen it happen before...i saved it to get pictures later..lol

                    basicly where it sits now...we just gottta unhook connections...then the mounts...and pull her out thru the top...then drop the subframe...then all the good stuff goes in

                    but basicly...we decided to get all the mechanical shit worried about before the rust/rot....once we get all the mechanical/suspension stuff done...well see how much time we have...if we have the time?...well do the rust repair and put the interior back in...if not?...fuck it im going to the Dragon with the rust...lol...

                    feels good to get some progress done...hopefully sunday will be more

                      Re: PlastikAvengers $100 Wagon

                      more shit accomplished today....

                      got the motor and tranny out the top of the wagon....then we tweaked the rad. support back to where it should be (the car had been whacked slightly)...then pulled the subframe...i yanked all the A/C shit out...cause i dont want it...then we made a small patch for the subframe as there was one small spot starting to rot...but it seems good now...

                      so now on tuesday...im gonna grind the whole subframe down...then prime and rustoleum it...on wed my dads gonna put the Sprints/STs in...then bolt the subframe back up...so on friday i can push it into the driveway and clean the whole enginebay...

                      then after that everything else goes back in...lol

                      i has pics today!

















                      i included pics of the busted rotor...lol...
