then worked on the mystake to have it handle better, not eat up tires and not feel like it's going to break around most corners
i replaced the lower control arms
i had to cut a bolt of the driver side to get it out, broke 2 studs taking the wheel off and yeah
(pic of the passenger side)
Saturn spun a conecting rod bearing so pulled the motor
bought a donor car for $250 and pulled the motor our of it
\
i miked out the rod and it came within specs so pulled the crank outa the donor motor and dropped it into my motor with all new bearings
other wise i would have had to switch the head off my 99 motor onto the 94 block and would have ment even more $$$ i might still see if someone wants to swap a 94 head for a 99 and build myself another motor but completely from ground up
and the past 2 days i have just been relaxing after work,letting my hands heal...
i feel like i missing a few things but idk....

Those kirby's run for like forever. Don't get rid of it. Vacuums don't last like that anymore. Great vacuum.
I love the the led's in the headlight assemblies. Cool look. Even if it is a Furd. LOL.
How deep are those scratches on the Mytique? Would most of them buff out? Nice job you did on bringing the color back. Too bad about the scratches though.
You certainly have been busy. And a little bored if you polished the chrome on your vacuum. LOL (just kidding)
