Blog Title: TrboBLU - Project Ricecar to Racecar
TrboBlu, named for the license plate that is on her, came to me as a hacked up hot mess. I swear there was not a single bolt or wiring harness spared in the rice-attack of the previous owner. The car was rot free, so figured she deserved another chance at life.
This tracks the ground up semi-restoration of this Kona Blue Pearl 1995 Eagle Talon TSi AWD.

Tomorrow is the big day! 
Picking up the engine from the machine shop! I will post a more detailed post about this once I get it home.
Meanwhile, was able to get a few more things done on the car this weekend. The ABS was deleted using a very nice "delete kit" from STM. The stainless brake lines are quite beautiful.
Also was able to finally repair the black dash with this handy little tool:
That thing is awesome.
Fixed some more wiring, and got the speakers in the car..
I am hoping to hear on the paint work for the 2gb bumpers that were sent out a few weeks ago.
And without further a-do, here are some crappy cell phone pics.

I think that belongs to a Neon, too! Ever notice that when a car sits for an extended period of time it starts to become a storage bin for parts to other cars? haha!
Got a project Dodge Shadow as well that has been idle for 4 years now... it has parts for turbo mopars, dsms, and neons in it.
I'm in desperate need to do some spring cleaning; that's for sure!Posted 04-11-2011 at 04:37 AM by 95talongirl
