Just a little info on me, I purchased my first Kappa/Saturn Sky Redline 2007 black, manual trans from a local Pull-A-Part almost 2 years ago. It had been wrecked in the front and needed the front clip and ECM that was damaged in the wreck. It's in pretty good shape otherwise. Has 130,??? miles. Never heard it run outside of my dreams. Now I'm working on the wiring and plug that that plugs into the ECU that was destroyed in the crash.
The other one is also an 07, black, manual trans but base model that I bought back in May of this year that has 203,??? miles. It had been slid sideways into a Crape Myrtle tree. Still drives great but destroyed the passenger door and also did enough chassis damage so that a replacement door will not work. Caused some trunk body lines to be a little off also.
So my plan is to take the best parts and put on the Redline to make the best car of the two. The base car that will be left will, well it be be the donor chassis drive train for another project. I know some may frown on this but what is better? Part it out and scrap what's left or use as much of it as possible to get another vehicle on the road?
If it all goes the way I have planned I'm sure most will believe that I made the right choice. If you want to follow along I will be posting videos on my YouTube channel as it happens. You can also check out some of my other cars that I have saved from the crusher and gave them another chance.
