Thanks all.
I've got a few more exterior things coming down the pipe then I'll be doing a couple go fast parts.

I really want to get a cat back done.

Looks good Mitchell.

Mitchell that is clean!!!

Same with you Anthony, your ride height is perfect!

thanks guys!

Looks good in pics, not so much close up.. she has her spots ...

Looking to get it painted a whole new solid color, probably black or stock red. Not sure yet haha.

Probably my last pics on this thread.








And away he goes...

It almost brings a tear to my eye seeing that being loaded on a tow truck.

Very nice suby on the road though.

Very Nice purchase though. One smoking 2g, both look and power wise.

So, forgive me for not knowing and stating the obvious, Bashar, you're the new proud owner of Spike?!

It pains even me to see her loaded on a flatbed...

Heres the new one.

Jay, put 1990 wheels on and we can be twins..

Lol I no longer have them just the ralliart wheels.

I gotta rip the rest of thsoe damn stickers off.

That is one sexy 1g, Mike. I like it, especially the rims. They really look good together.

Wow, that looks awesome.. is that new paint?

^^ No, previous owner kept the shell in mint condition. No rust anywhere!

Thanks guys, I love the rims too, I just need bigger tires, there 5% too small.
And I think the car was painted at one point in its lifetime, and replaced a small section of the driver rockers.
None the less, they did a good Friggen Job.
There was a fair amount of surface rust along the seams underneath from the rear weel well back.. but I dropped the subframe and the tank, and took a good 5 hours or so to fix it all.

Thought I'd share some of my rides. Just pulled the truck out winter hibernation last night. Been too busy too even enjoy it. Just worked 25 days in a row. Today first day off since may long weekend. LOL.


96 dodge indy special truck, I am original owner and never seen winter, except a freak snow storm in May many years ago.

90 Talon fwd getting some new fenders. Ignore the messy garage.

92 talon AWD My baby, fenders are both rusted through and rear quarters got some surface rust. Gonna fix all that and shoot for 450 to 500hp.

And lastly a 94 supercharged Buick, yea, I know, I am getting old, I like ride comfort. The beetle is ours too, wife's car.

Mike, the car looks great! Looks brand new!

Thanks!
I hope I can keep it that way, for a long time.

Yes I am

Bealeve me eric, still stings.

In this nice raining day, I would be nice to take for a ripp.

Let me know what u think

Looks sharp Josh! Will look even better lowered

I want to paint them black instead of the gun metal colour...is there anyone on here who does it?

and Yes, its going to drop 3" in the front and 2.75" in the back

I'd keep the gun metal... but if you really want to do it, Mike Degli does a good job with the power-coating.

Lastest shot of under the hood



And chilling with my buddy pat and his 2g

Josh, finally got it fixed eh, jeeze! Lookin good! The rims you were showing me definately turned out nice. If you want any help lowering it let me know, I wouldnt mind knowing what Im about to get myself into

And Shandon, that thing looks fast , buddys 2g is sick too.

A video of me going down the track

best time of the day was 11.6 @ 125mph

Definately a nice talon Pat!

That is a pretty funky valve cover. I dig it

thanks guys, that's my custom Pat plaid valve cover...lol

Some more recent pics of my car:

Ah man that's not good, but I'm glad to see your getting it back on the road! In the winter I ran over a curb and bent my front left inner and outer ti-rods and needed a new rim. I still haven't got the new rim :S but all else is fixed. New tires + rims soon anyways.

Me + Mike Lane's cars.

Mines the 93 talon and he has the black eclipse =)

Some of them actually turned out real good! I didnt even look at my camera after I took the pics to see how mine turned out.
By the way since my last pics these ones show my bronze and black brakes Except the rear passenger side, I ran out of paint, and have more important things to spend money on...I ll fix that soon though. Oh and by the way Rob my exhaust wont drag no more, those pics really show how bad it was. I fixed it last week, tucked it up real nice.
Oh, I spotted a crazy tree monkey !

Haha! I forgot about the "Tree monkey". Good to hear that your exhaust is tucked up now, find any chunks of grass while you were doing it?

Baha nope. No grass.

Lol, that's always a good thing
