I've been slowly working on the car here and there and finally got the motor mounts made just need to pull the motor out and finish welding then brace them

Got the subframe braced repaired the rust and got the motor bolted up to make sure everything still fits after welding. Thinking about enlarging the bolt holes on the mounts so the subframe doesn't have to be lined up perfectly to get it bolted to the motor

Wait ... what? I came in expecting to see an LLO but that's ... Ohhhhh ... Scrolly thing. Nice!

Thanks I thought about turboing the LLO but I have always loved the power and torque of a 3800 and wanted one in a much lighter chassis with a manual

Not sure how this sick build got past my radar! That subframe and engine mounts turned out really nice. Keep it up!

XXR550 16X8.25 +2 

Should have just enough room for a set of 255/50R16 R888

Wow, thats a weird setup.  15x9 or 10 with a 225/245 would fit a lot better.

+2 is nuts.  Are you doing different knuckles?

The project is still on I had a really bad situation going on with my landlord and had to move into my parents house for a while then I bought a house with a large 2 car garage and a decent sized 1 car garage. I have to get the wife's vw running then I can get back to the Saturn.
