Looks good man! Shame to rip that red one apart but I'm sure it has its own issues

Thanks guys, it’s been a fun project so far. Yep, you are correct scheides the talon had plenty of issues and this thread will be used to track the awd conversion and the addition of many go-fast parts. I will be making a for sale thread and yes I would be willing to sell the chrome Spyder rims and tires feel free to send me a pm.
Here is my progress so far:


This first pic is where the Talon/Eclipse will be staying for the next few weeks:





Here I popped the awd rear subframe out of the talon:





Next was the rear subfame and gas tank on the Eclipse:





Here are the two gas tanks side by side:





After all these parts were out and moved aside it was time to drill out what felt like a hundred spot welds and prepare to weld the awd driveshaft brackets into the spyder:





Then I stripped the spyder frame down to the metal so I could do some welding:
