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.

Got the bumper on the car today; with the headlights. Also put on the coolant hoses for the turbo, spark plugs and wires. Now just got to modify the exhaust, continue to figure out what bolts go where, and just keep on truckin'.

	Looks great! I've never seen a blue like this on a Talon before, but I love how it looks!

	Thanks! It's been a VERY long road! She fired up today too!! The color is "Kona Blue Pearl". It's a factory color, I don't know the paint code off hand, but I think if you search that name you could find it.

	Talon Girl, Huge, huge, props for rescuing an extremely rare car, to those of us that have DSMs running through our blood, this is amazing to see. Very glad to see you didnt change the color. These are so hard to come by.

	Thanks! That's greatly appreciated! After the grief that other people give me all the time about the car it's nice to see that some people don't think I've lost my mind for taking a car down this far!

	I am just about to fire up my dsm for the first time in a VERY long time as well. It feels good to have it in the final stages. I'm having issues with clutch bleeding myself... Once the clutch disengages it'll be time to fire it up... Lots of luck completing your project, it looks like it's going very well!
