The tire rack rusted off, exposing some gaping holes on the 1998 my brother was looking at. 

Herculiner the whole lower rocker panels. :rockon:

Rockers are fine (already been repaired).
The rust problem is in the frame over the rear axle. The bump stops are going to fall off pretty soon.

Yeah, the bump stops fell off my Ranger too.  You don't need 'em anyway.

After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

DUDE!

Go to the junkyard and pick up a VG30ET from a 1980's 300ZX Turbo for a couple hundred bucks and get a 5 speed with it!

I want to see if you really do get to #20 before I get to #2.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

It could very well happen, however, the long-range forecast calls only for Swifty and Pathy over the next two years.

It's a thread about NACar's most recent vehicular acquisition.  There's at least another 30 pages coming.

Stuff to do eventually:

Secure driver's headlight, or replace assembly

Check ignition timing

Replace driver's door lock cylinder

Turn rotors, replace pads

Fix frame rust over rear wheels

Flush trans fluid, install aftermarket cooler

FAIL

The VG30ET is a direct bolt in. You could probably turbo it for $500.

Hell, you could probably just buy some manifolds and a stock T3 from a turbo motor and throw it on.

not according to ze germans...
"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

So rather than turbocharge a robust engine that was built from the factory for turbocharging, you'd rather turbocharge a 3 cylinder Geo Metro that will shatter the rods at 2 psi of boost?

Your and senseless.
