A little background on me. I’m new on here, but not new to cars. I’m 19… A Mechanical Engineering student and haven’t owned a car that wasn’t turbo’d. I like tearing cars apart, and some times putting them back together.
I have a saab winter car, and a Saab summer car (this was my last project)…[link](http://www.saabcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=203887)…
A few weeks ago I picked up a 240 with a ka, and blown head. that ka came out in a few hours with the help of a sawzall. I was set on doing an rb swap, but saw an ad for a vg here on son. I looked in to it a bit and ended up buying it.
I picked up a new frankenstein sub frame that will fit the stock vg mounts. Same with the tranny mount/cross member. Eventually I’ll get every thing test fitted and measure up the new driveshaft. More pictures and stories soon.
