Woot! I just picked up my buddies (Skipdag on here) old 92 talon as he bought a pretty nice EVO8 from South Dakota. I'll be updating this regularly as I make progress on it but for now it's doing what dsms do best, driveway ornament.

A few pix below of the good, and the reason why it's now sitting, thanks to a 97 year old woman in a SUV failing to yield @ a stop light intersection.

Not a fan of the interior but it looks clean! Get that damage fixed and it'll be perfect.

Cleanest 1g I have ever seen in person, so sad when I heard it got smacked. I know you'll bring it back to life.

Alright I got all the clearly damaged parts removed, now I'm in process of scheduling some time on a frame rack. Here's the victims.

Alright, looks like the front bumper escaped completely unharmed. The hood closes correctly and looks alight, although there are 2 weird looking dents it it now that aren't from the accident, no idea where those came from. PDR may be able to take care of them, otherwise I'll either replace it with one from a junkyard ( I know of 2 junkyards with 3 white 92+ talons) but that would be spending more money and getting the same old heavy stock hood (WTF do these hoods weigh like 50 lbs?).

Or I can put the money towards a carbon fiber hood. I've liked the idea of Deft Racing's colored carbon fiber/Kevlar hoods. I was thinking of going with what they call their silver carbon fiber hood. I think it looks pretty good a white car. Example of one installed on a white stealth.

Damn, that thing is clean other than the accident damage. Good luck with your build!
