The 2.4L Turbo is that from Tracey's? I was looking at a PT Turbo (Turbo in their shop) and was about to get it the following day, but when i got there it was already gone... lol

im not sure if its Tracy's came from a sketchy place in TO tho i paid 1500 for the motor and tranny. and it was dropped on the pan once cause i had to replace the oil pan since it had a hair line crack in it.

the motor had a oil sensor installed, with a after market oil cap a breather on the pcv.

i had to drive to Kentucky to get the suspension, rads, brakes, harnesses, intercooler, fuel pump, gauges and i got the rest of the parts from my work since were a large auto wreckers.

and pretty much everything else was bought off srtfourm or neon canada

the autobody shop is at the wreckers. we buy collision cars through the auctions and repair them and are able to sell them at a reasonable price.

Well i got bored today it rained pretty much all day so i though ti would do some fabricating.

the plan is to mount the full filler behind the tail light. as of right now i have the light mounted to 2 push to pop magnetic latches which seem to be holding it not to bad. but im going to look into using a power trunk latch thinking it might be a little stronger so the light wont vibrate.

i had a spare tail light in the garage with a few chips in it that i cut the side off of and will be mounting the inside trunk molding directly to the car.

i still need to finish reinforcing the hinge as its just tacked in place for now.

great idea
what are you going do with old location shave and mold the door in to the body or use it for a battery turn off switch
