Car is fixed, new pics, and eclipse conversion ??

[Stoner]

I just got my car back from the shop. I purchased it wrecked as you can see and i am in the process of fixing it up and hopefully making it a V8 eater, .

I also put the 98 eclipse bumper and taillights on in the process and have a question for anyone who has done this before.

How did you deal with the center bolts for the bumber, on mine they dont line up with the bumper. At the top they are 2-4 inches lower than the mounting points and the bottom is only about 1-2 inches( i think i can make the bottom work). Let me know how you solved this problem or if you just left out those bolts.

Here is the repaired shot, check my gallery for the wrecked shots, enjoy!!!

Well, so far, so good.


You'd burn in hell for it, except that you're helping to make mine that much more rare.

Damn....did you take off the quarter panel? Or saw it off or something? That's crazy. So how much did you buy the car for, and how much have you spent to repair it? I wanna start buying wrecked cars and fix em' and sell em' for profit. Good work man

I bought the car for $1500 + about another 1500 to fix it. And the shop did take the quarter of by drilling the pinch welds and put all new back in the car.

Sorry bout the eclipse conversion for you die hard talon guys/gals, I just like the eclipse look better and i found this good deal on a talon.

If any body wants more pics just ask me, i have a lot of them. And i am still stumped on color but i do know it will be getting a new front bumper and side skirts, wheels, a wing etc. before i get it painted. I have it narrowed down to (black, charcol, orange metalic, silver) I hate makeing decisions on paint it so permanent .

have you considered blue with maybe some metallic flakes. IMO i think it is the best along with going wingless. GL on you car.

for my conversion i just bent the outer two brackets up till the bumper fit right and the center one i just bent flush with the back, came out really clean
