And you found a Talon more rusty than mine was! |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life

|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life

You just have way too many cool cars. |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Very nice, I am excited to see how this progresses!
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Hmm why not just use that other AWD spyder you got. It looked like it needed nothing.
|
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Salaved car
Awd swap was not the greatest Drivers qt. Panel was fixed and full of bondo and paint was falling off It was just a parts car any way all I wanted was the black top for my car My car has a lot less miles and no rust on it Dash harness was cut up. |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
been working on it the last 2 days. It is getting there.
got the fmic put on and started to put the a/c system back in the car http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...006_123852.jpg also took out all the abs wiring out of the engine bay harness and put it back in the car. Also did a mini tuck with it. I used the 3 holes that were in the frame rail and make 3 brackets to bolt the fuse box in the wheel wheel. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...006_124226.jpg fuse box bolted into its new home http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...006_124916.jpg I drilled out the spot welds on the stock lower radiator brackets and made some new ones and welded them in so I could use my 1g fludine radiator in the car http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...006_152646.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...006_153503.jpg |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
worked on fixing the new top since arms were broken and bushing were missing. the install on the frame was messed up. took a few hours to get it to work like it should now it folds down and up just great now.
replaced the floating arms with the ones that were in my top frame. also had to redo the elstac straps so it would pull the arm back when the top folds down. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...006_181309.jpg the arms that were in the car they were broken. the floating bow arms were gone http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...006_181337.jpg got the side skirts all on the car now http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...006_162925.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...006_162936.jpg also got the front bumper cut and put on for the first fitment. I have part of a 2gb eclipse front bumper so I can fill the gaps so I can run the 2gb eclipse head lights http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...006_162321.jpg |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
I pretty sure they did the swap
all I know the x-brace was cut out so the body was flexing with the top frame out. holes were cut in the car for the gas tank and for the rear end and the gas take holes were welded shut. the metal that was tryed to used as a patch for the rear end was welded very bad and burned through all over the place. pics I took before Mike picked up the shell http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...915_184711.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...915_184719.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...915_184730.jpg did not take one of the damage on the drivers 1/4 panel. It was bad the body work was bad holes drilled in the sheet metal and pulled out that way and jut filled with bondo. the bondo started at the back of the door and went to the rear bumper and was thick. pretty sure that is why it was totaled out not a for a theft recovery |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Got 1/2 a yard of headliner fabric so I could redo the visors.
1st took the old fabric off the visors http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...024_153913.jpg Used a body saw to cut the visors so they could be opened all the way up http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...024_155253.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...024_155248.jpg Using 3m 74 spray glue for headliners and fabric. Glued 1/2 at a time since I don't have any more clipse to do it all at one time. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...024_214812.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...024_221551.jpg The drivers side it done. Used 5min epoxi to glue the visor back together as one piece http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...024_214800.jpg |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...028_125601.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...028_125548.jpg |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Looks good! I liked the pictures of taking apart the visors, I never knew how people did that.
Kinda wish I had that fmic back haha |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
Every one I seen just prys the visors apart and they end up braking. Used one from the talon to start with to see the easyest way to take them apart.

Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
been working on it the last 2 days. Pulled the engine out of the corner. Pulled the valve cover to swap in the FP2 cams and one of the cam cap bolts pulled all the threads with it :( was not happy since it was the cnc ported head that is now junk and is all taken apart for scrap now. Luck I had one good 2g head that will be going on the engine now since that is what I had laying around.
so today I got the short block,tranny,t.c,and axles,and down pipe in the car http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...105_175311.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...105_175303.jpg also took the turbo apart to cut out the flapper since I will be running a tial 38 gate http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...105_173456.jpg cut the flapper arm off flush and put it back in and welded it back on http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...105_173503.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...105_173510.jpg all back together out http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...105_175248.jpg |
Re: after 10 years its coming back to life
