Busted Betty? 04 LSS 4dr

Not sure if that is an official name for this car but it sure is appropriate.
04 CAV LSS Album

Picked the car up with a bad trans, clutch and steering rack. The initial idea was to use it as a donor to eco swap my 98 Z Vert. I then decided to go with the 3500 swap for the vert. Now it has a new transmission 6 puck clutch (the old one was a spec that was put in wrong, one pressure plate bolt went in cross threaded.) new steering rack and passenger side axle.
I also cleaned the interior, no pics but trust me it was bad.

What to do with this piece then?



Enter the cut of wheel.. As a side note the "bumper" was put on wrong and ground all the tread off the inside of the tire, see something new every day.





Enter much better parts

Lip still needs to be attached

I'm liking the idea of keeping the l61 and adding the turbo kit to it. I had one for my black car in the sig but that was a quad engine. the system mounts the turbo in the same place so with the manifolds everything is still where it should be. the saab engine is bad, I think it spun a rod. not sure if it took out the factory turbo but I have a t3 super 60 48 ar I can use. anyone know if the saab injectors are worth using?
