Well my car project has come to an end. The talon is now road ready. It's been about 8 months and that's not too bad considering I'm 16 I go to school and have a job. This has been a great learning experience for me. People ask me if I would do it again..NO WAY!!!!!!!! I'll buy a running one from now on. I can't wait to see how many things go wrong within this next 5 months or so. Especially with the cold.




a few pics:

nice, I know all about being 16 and putting an engine in, my truck was a b****, but it's all good now. Looking back it might have been worth all the money, might not have, just don't go through mud, it's evil

i got this car as well not even a rolling shell..no engine/tranny/t-case ect. i had to redo all the wiring (with stock stuff) because the harness was full of splices. it didnt even roll becuase of all of the seized calipers. the front end had to be redone.i had to re-yank engine due to some bad mounts. i had to rebuild the tranny.then 5th gear was ****ed up so i had to do it..again. this was basicly a complete redo. only nice thing about it was the body. now it runs/drives.
