Nice to meet you Travis. Welcome to the forum

Hi Travis -- welcome to the Forum.

Thank you for the welcome. So about my car... I was given the car 3 years ago with a blow head gasket, pulled the motor to fix the head gasket and it had a bent rod and broken piston as well. I rebuilt the motor and put back in. I have put 60k plus on the car now. Recently I loaned it to a friend and he wrecked it for me. I was never really interested in modding the car as I just drove the crap out of it... Now since I had to replace the radiator support and the front end I decided to fix it up a little bit, as these things go, now I in the process of completely repainting the car. It is Dodge Go ManGo (orange) with stock SL1 bumpers being painted Dodge Dark Kakia (gunmetal), as well as the trim pieces over the doors, SL2 spoiler, and rocker panels. I found a complete interior out of a 99 SL2 in dark gray (almost black) with black carpet. When I put it back together it is getting sound deadener (like dynamat) on everthing. 17" ten spoke MSR wheels with 215/45R17 Fuzion HR1 tires. I am also planning a motor swap, at this point looking like 00-02 bottom end with a 98-99 DOHC setup. Looking forward to learning and sharing lessons learned on here. Bye for now.

nice.. Im trying to get my car painted (as soon as i have enough money), but i still havent decided what color i wanted. I was thinking either keeping it the original color, pearl blue, or metallic burgandy. I also want some 16x9 Diamond Racing wheels. Cant wait to see pics of your car complete

Yep..............I like the color. Welcome.

Thanks again for the welcome. A quick update, finished painting the majority of the panels for the Saturn last night, will putting the car back together for the next couple days will post pictures as soon as it is back together.

Added some pictures to my profile. Have the drivers side back together, hopefully going to finish it up and detail it tomorrow. More pictures to come.
