    And your neighbour's VW... well, wow.
    Many thanks...hopefully this vision works out. Taking cues/ideas/help from my neighbor shouldn't hurt much either I'd imagine. Ashame I'm on plastic fenders

    Badass Saturn BTW. Kudos for doing something original and not another cookie cutter sedan or hatch.

    Keep it up! I'm down for this!
    hilarious...

    Appreciate that input fellas, puts a little extra in the "git-r-done" tank...I'm just about building to my pleasures and the Saturn happens to be the toy to bring them at the moment

    The Evo is certainly fulfilling the "go fast" fix but it soon will fall into the stance madness. 17x9.5 Advan foot prints are in order once the piggy bank fills again, this Euro rate is killing me!

    Making a little more progress:

    - Rear Bags/Brackets Made it in
    - Front Struts on the way
    - Air management decision almost final




    On a side note, look what the heck I just found out my NEIGHBOR was working on!!!







    11" wide BBS RS' on all (4) corners, those flares are all metal fabbed up by him, on air of course, full audi interior conversion, fully shaven engine bay, picking out the paint color now. I have officially found a new best friend .

    Who would have imagined in Southern Spain, I'd find one of the hardest v-dubs I've ever seen.

    ***He's trying to figure out the radiator situation w/eliminating the reservoir and all, he wants to tuck away a larger unit between the bumper and front cross member. If anyone knows what the current shaved bay v-dub guys are doing w/the radiator situations, it'd be nice to let him know.***

    As always, thanks for looking.

    From a local guy in New Jersey when I was stateside....I'm sure there's a website that carries this stuff by now.

    The odometer stopped working at just over 145K- 8 years ago! Everything else works properly. This car runs great! Crisp handeling, impressive acceleration, and it stops on a dime.

    ***FIXED THE OLD PIX***


    Been out of it for a while but here are the last decent pics of the car....and a late HELLO to you too Cobalt Sawblade guy, glad you got a chance to get those on, your car has definitely made a lot of progress since I last saw it!


    Few Pix:


    Added 10mm out in the rear



    Playing around w/my camera:








    The Saturn's current state is terrible....she's been collecting dust because of my latest project car, a Japanese Evo 4






    And a broken strut will also park your car...while giving you another 1" of slam; no bueno




    Whippin up a air suspension set-up right now....bags are on the way, air management is my next deciding factor. She'll be back up and running soon. Ran into a guy with a paint booth so who knows how she'll debut again.

    delta bodies (my car, his car and the hhr) are extremely rigid, and gives paintless dent removal techs, body shop employees, fender rollers aaaand idk what else i was gonna type im drunk and just broke up with my gf.
    but anyway....the cradle is steel, control arms aluminum, nice timing chain aluminum block with a split deck all that fancy crap. don't **** on delta bodies. EVER. especially low ones. i put sooooo much god damn work into this car to get it low it's not even worth it.
