So another decade before it runs?
j/k, I just want to see this up and running.
No way, 40 is fast approaching. Mid life crisis car(s) beckon...

Keep up the good work! I don't remember the last time I saw a 1g Neon running - you would have some props due.

Not to thread jack, but yesterday I continued working on the GTI and when that ran out of speed (a $46 6" long fuel line disintegrated while changing out the world's worst designed fuel pump), I replaced a collapsed brake hose and tired caliper on my daughter's '97 Neon.
Holy fuck, when looking at them back to back, the VW is the biggest, most poorly designed piece of shit I've ever seen. Most of the time I just blame the age and mileage of the VW, but part for part the Neon is just better designed (except for the lack of a hatchback option).
Neons are a little rough around the edges (1st gen anyhow) but they're fun, dependable and fairly easy to work on. Other than the pre mls headgaskets they are solid cars.

Any updates to the PTGT? The 04-05 SRT4 LSD should bolt right in, no?
Unfortunately no, for whatever reason the PTGT get a Getrag tranny and the SRT4 gets the NV850. PTGT has electronic traction control but it sucks in comparison.

soooo....how's the maverick?
It's still around. I'm gonna start on that after I finish the Neon. I've built up a big collection of parts for it.

My old GS-t satin my garage for almost 3 years as a shell before I picked-up a wrench and got working on it.
life happens, man. enjoy it being a project. remember when we were dumb-enough to try to make our daily's project-cars, too?
