I thought about tossing the towel in but it turned out to be a cheap n easy fix (for me). The Aircat 1150 impact did all the grunt work. Yeah, I got the title and still have the Rovah as it's a good parts runner, I'm thinking it'd be a good project once it's little sister is past puberty. All six pillars and both sills are gone, vaporized carbon, like the hem fell off it's skirt. Easy sheet steel repair but there's just SO much of it........ I get overwhelmed just thinking about it. It's gonna get dragged into the barn and have a serious look soon, the Saturn is skinned with snows on all four corners and I've been told it's done well in the past.

I must confess I've listened to Regards mixes for the last couple of nights........ hand pick'n all my next presentations to the little lady..... she's a little like the Plastic Fantastic, a little TLC gets multiplied ten times in return........ at least when I'm late to work nobody wonders why.

Late to work......Your probably in a better mood and no one wants to question it.......

What I ment by not fixing it was the motor.....had I seen that cradle rust along with the bad motor.....it would have been a rough decision to pursue, but hell, you pulled it off so awesome job! That cleaned up cradle you pictured, it looks like it was born to rust, barbaric manufacturing....

I have the same 'to do' list on my Rova', just no time...

I've done the same with Regard......I'd hear something and it's like holey hell, what was that....turn around, search it out.....

What was good for the car was the frame was covered by plastic, never saw it until it played peek a boo with the trans. I agree, it's a ****astic design built to fail. If I do the LS it'll be stainless.

Lets just say.....if the pigmy pony can't keep up, I'll fill a Beamers trunk.



If it don't haul, it's back to the stall....
Incentive....



It's done about 10 loads so far....just some local fire wood I can't turn down.

I noticed it a long time ago. I didn't want to embarrass you. I was hoping you would seek treatment before anyone else noticed. BTW I joined the club ( Disco club not STD club). Bought my neighbors 2003 SE7! So the journey begins.....

Let's take a few steps back in time.......
The thread title is: Super Model With Bad Crack Habit Rehab Build-
Now, if you had said 'Super Model' with a bad 'Crack Habit' in 'Rehab'......
I'd say there's a pretty good chance that said 'Super Model' would have STD's..
Thus.......STD7........if she was clean, well behaved, didn't like checkered skirts, it would be your standard SD7.........but she's not.

Congrats on your Dll......Hopefully it'll be a good one for you.

Oh, as far as needing a truck or trailer........if it can't haul a little timber, what good is it? Pretty much expect this from anything I own/owned.....

Year before last......
