RS Wheel was installed today with the help of @JBCottrell over at TRE Motorsports as I dont have a 27mm Socket. The contacts on the cancel ring are on their last legs so @914Sixer is going to hook me up with another one and we'll do it all again at some point in the future.


Also used the NOS batwing I bought from @Mike Fitton awhile ago. Lools & feels fantastic! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

@DannyMac @914_teener turns out I’m going to drive in Malibu with a friend tomorrow. You’re welcome to join, just looking to avoid crowds with Covid on the rise.

@DANNYMAC Thanks for the love. This is my original paint Saturn Yellow Car, but it does not look as bright as yours.

As for the steering wheel it is all original, however it just has an extra layer of leather wrapped over 'the original" leather. You could easily pick up a 2nd wheel to cover and have it done a 1/2 block from TRE at Morro Auto Interiors.

Pretty amazing work, Jeffery. MUCH superior to what I did. Can't find a hat-tipping smilie, these will have to do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

This is my original paint Saturn Yellow Car, but it does not look as bright as yours.

Saturn and Chrome are the same color. Name varied from year to year, and also depending on the market area.

In my experience, the original Saturn does tend to darken and mellow bit over the decades, which is probably why Jeffery's Bug doesn't seem as bright.

My 914 was pretty bright when done as well.
