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.

She LIVES!!!!

Out of the garage for the first time in over a year. It feels great!! There's still some bugs to work out and things to do... but the fact that she runs and drives down the road... omg.. SO EXCITED!

Pics!

That is all. Will probably get the hood on tomorrow. Alignment is next, as well.

	She's alive! Awesome job and I absolutely love the color! I noticed in the second picture that she's screaming for an alignment like you said ha ha The camber is way out, but nothing to drastic though. Keep up the good work!

	Thank you! Yeah, I hope so too... been way to long sitting as a garage ornament. ! kinda knew the alignment was going to be whacked due to the entire suspension and rear subframe being removed. It also got new ball joints and tie rods.
