1994 SL2: The silence is golden build

[SC2Sick]

I need to stop dating girls who drive Saturns.

1994 SL2 Auto

The bad:
Just shy of 200k miles
Smoke screen and burns a quart in a 10 mile round trip
Automatic
Power Windows Stick
Power locks don't function
Sunroof is fucking caulked shut
Front bumper, fender and hood are a different color than the rest of the car
Trans won't shift into 4th half the time
Shitty mouse track seatbelts

The Good:
ABS and 4 wheel disc brakes
Frame is in great condition
Sawtooths and brand new tires (well 3 sawtooths, one is a gear tooth but have a spare sawtooth)
Exhaust system is actually in good shape too

The plan:
I found a 97 LL0 with great compression for $200
Got rebuilt valve body for $200
Find same color hood, bumper and fender
Fix the rest of the stuff in the bad list which none of it is too difficult.

She knows I own and work on Saturns so I won't have any silence until this thing is running.
Motor is half way pulled, just need my friend to get back in town so I can get the hoist out of his garage.

Engine pulled. Took a week longer to get started than planned.
I snapped her downpipe in half out of rage... picked up a new one at the JY this morning

My back went out when I bent down to start replacing the valve body so we called it a night.

Finishing it up Saturday hopefully.
