Now is just as good a time as any to update the progress on my $2000X challenge car. The conspirators are a 1992 Buick Regal GS purchased for the princely sum of $10.00 The body had seen better days, the interior was toast. At least the engine ran. It did have a bad fuel pump. Next is a 1997 Saturn SC1, automatic with a blown head gasket and possible rod knock. All for $500.00 I bought this 2 weeks after returning from the $2007 Challenge. The final conspirator is a 1986 Pontiac Fiero for $350.00 purchased in December of 2008. The engine from the Buick, the 5 speed manual trans from the Fiero are going in the Saturn. As soon as I can get them up I will have pictures to show.
