Thanks for the help

Bought a 10 year abandoned gen 2 190k beater with broken 4 window passenger and 3 window drivers for my teenagers, so far I’ve done fuel pump in the dirt (better solutions to the filler neck bracket anyone?), front brakes, bearings, idler arm, fuel and oil and trans filter, rubber brake lines, jumpered rear window safety, wish I had jumpered the rest of the harness but that’s what brought me here… Still needs blower motor relay (and then?) turn signal lenses, tires, antenna, diff and shoe inspection, a rear shock, wipers, valve cover tightening hopefully, and I’ll do the timing belt/tensioner/water pump sooner than later. If the AC is good, I should have a desert tank for my kids that I won’t even know when they add dents for around $2k discounting labor - we'll see I’m only 2 weeks in and parts are slow 75 miles from a stop light…. It replaces a low mileage pristine 2000 Saturn lw2 that has been a complete nightmare…. Maybe if I had alldata I wouldn’t need a rocket launcher for it…

hope y’all are having a great weekend!

Welcome from Wisconsin! Lots of work... great plan!

 

Welcome fellow Texan - sounds like you have a lot of project fun ahead of you. There is nothing like the extra feeling that comes with having a ride which you've brought back to life with your own hands. Looking forward to the updates.

Pro tip, never use the front hub cover bolts to push your brake shoe, find a grade 5 or something, I had to buy stainless in podunk to take off the other shoe and now I want 12 and to sell a front hub cover…. I have at least 20k miles left on the other side…. That will be a “fun” project!
