I have a Pontiac Vibe... Is that too far from a Pontiac G5

[heftykat]

I see that the Cobalt or the Pontiac G5 work for this kit but I have a 2006 Pontiac Vibe which is just the hatchback version of the Pontiac. (Same body and the Toyota Matrix.) Is that do different for it to fit the kit?

Thanks!

Definitely not an easy option, but if you want to blaze that trail, feel free!

So confirming that it is different enough to require more work. Ok sweet thanks! Trying to get my wife to give me the go ahead because otherwise i could sell it for like 200$ and that doesn't seem worth it.

That is actually a Toyota built car and shares nothing with the class of cars used for Goblin construction. It uses Toyota drivetrain components, not GM

If I was you, I'd part the Vibe out and use the money to buy a Cobalt or G5 donor.

The frame, suspension, engine/trans, electrical system, brakes, almost everything is different or not compatible with the G5 let alone the Goblin. I am concerned that you are worried about budget, but the reality of trying to modify, adapt and reengineer a Vibe will be far more expensive than selling off the Vibe and finding a Cobalt or G5. That is unless you have a really big budget and a fully equipped custom auto shop. Sorry to be frank about this, but just don't want to see someone new to the forum go into this project thinking one thing and spending far more money than needed to complete their car.
