Saturn SC2 Progress. lots of pics.

[alex14]

I bought a 1995 saturn SC2 as a DD/project car. I'm finished with it now and I wanted to post up my progress.

I started with this:
http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e236/paintballman5011/95%20SC2/1016091554-00.jpg

I was really not happy with the condition of the cars body so I decided to fix all the issues I had with it. The drivers door was scratched to hell, the spoiler had the clear peeling off, and the passengers fender was shattered. The car was difficult to shift most of the time. I replaced the shifter cables and topped of the clutch fluid and it drives great. Even after I did all that, it still looked terrible. Fixed the saggin healiner, the nasty carpet, and the poor stereo situation. I bought a new fender, and started sanding.

After sanding:

The tires on the car were near bald so I took the wheels and tires off of the Geo Storm beater car I had at the time (http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e236/paintballman5011/1005091438-01.jpg)

I repainted the wheels and put them on the Saturn:

Primerd the whole car:

at this point I got up enough money to buy my integra so I took the time to take off all the body panels from the car and properly sand and paint them. I also took off all the lights and used VHT nitesades to tint the tail and corner lights and I painted the center reflector on the trunk black.

All back together:

[Genji-Sama]

Ummm, I'm kinda scared to compliment the car cuz i know I'll get flamed for it, but I'm gonna do it. That is probably the nicest Saturn anything i've seen props to you

[d-man478]

[JITB]

anyone that dropped a dime into their 120hp honda, doesnt have the nerve!!!!!! to downplay the saturn Sc2... just sayin!

[SandM]

This right here is what i hate about this site, people are to fucking scared to post how they really feel, because they dont want to get flamed or bashed on for liking something thats different and not another fucking Stock ass honda lowered with a shitty ass fucking lip. I say to all people who have the same fear as Genji, Grow a fucking pair, and dont worry about what every one els thinks about you.

Who the fuck is any one els to tell you what you do or don't like. This is why the scene is so fucking bland atm. Oh well. IA is like High school

End Rant. Nice car btw, you did a really good job.

Dustin, You'll see how gay I am at practice this weekend. ;)

anyone that dropped a dime into their 120hp honda, doesnt have the nerve!!!!!! to downplay the saturn Sc2... just sayin!Thank you. Its just as rediculous to put money into any SOHC Honda as it is to fix up a Saturn.

15.8 is quick so how slow is those civics he beat? Genji props for turning this car life around, now lower it please.

[LIKEG6]

Nice work man. Looks like it took a little time and work in that one.

My wife has an ion I might think about doing a few things to.

[alex14]

now lower it please.
I would if I was keeping it. I just cant afford to put andy money into something i'm not driving.

Nice work man. Looks like it took a little time and work in that one.

My wife has an ion I might think about doing a few things to.
Thanks man. My plan was to either get a Quad coupe Ion or an Integra. I only bought the Integra because the aftermarket for them is so much better.

[D3UC3S]

Nice turnaround. My dad has a saturn as a beater and it has never let him down. Reps for doing something different!

[allmotorEJ8]

Good job on making it look better. + reps

[alex14]

Nice turnaround. My dad has a saturn as a beater and it has never let him down. Reps for doing something different!They are so hard to kill as long as you keep oil in them. My buddy drove his like a Porche everywhere he went for 2 years and only sold it because his relatives bought him a new car.
Thanks man.


Good job on making it look better. + reps
Thanks.

[VooDooXII]

Nice work on the clean-up! Are these cars light? I was just wondering with the plastic body panels and such.

[alex14]

Nice work on the clean-up! Are these cars light? I was just wondering with the plastic body panels and such. 2300lbs from the factory.

[FasTech]

Nothing wrong with a Saturn. I use to drive one back in the day. Actually was a pretty fun little car to drive and stock civic's couldn't hang with it. lol. Even outran a z6 coupe.

[alex14]

I love mine, I just love my Integra more :P
