My 1997 2gb awd talon build
Posted 05-16-2011 at 08:53 PM by godschylde777
Ok, here goes....after getting ripped off by a local shop I have decided to build my own car, and thus far it has been a success. What I don't know I Google, and I have paid close attention to detail, and tried to build a dsm, not only I could be proud of but we all could. Some thing you may like others you may not, but one way or another feel free to comment good or bad I welcome it.
ok that was as close as I could come to the beggining.

More wiring
What your looking at is how i wanted to control the wiring under the dash, so I made harnesses for everything, and instead of cutting into different wires for power and ground, I placed distribution boxes under the dash for ground and power.Posted 05-16-2011 at 09:16 PM by godschylde777

Thanks, and ye, a lot of hard work, have to hold down family needs, wants and desires, building house as I type, and dealing with morgage co. and loan officers, as well as customers.....I need this, it is my therapy, when Im in tha garage it is my haven, its not really about the car so much as it is the feeling of accomplishment....now for more pics.Posted 05-17-2011 at 07:16 PM by godschylde777

Ok so these are the pieces that I just picked up, tha thing with the holes in it are the brackets for my sparcos. Now all of the black under the hood will match the rims, which is a black with very fine flakes, you can see it in some of the pics.Posted 05-17-2011 at 07:18 PM by godschylde777
-
You can see the flakes in the pic above you can only see it in the light or sun looks like a black pear, I had the parts done by a guy, but his oven was not big enough so I went to another and his work was great, so I am having him redo all of the black parts.Posted 05-17-2011 at 07:28 PM by godschylde777

Thanks guys, the comments help keep me motivated and if you have some (constructive) critique I'm listening a lot of you guys have been doing this for a long time. On another note I was look in the latest mag and they had a readers rides, and out of all the cars there there was an eclipse, and it was so stock like except for a few mods it had these white rims on it, the other cars were highly modified, and that is what we had to rep us.....sooooo I have decides to be different, a balance between power and looks, I will finish this car and it will be sick.Posted 05-19-2011 at 01:03 PM by godschylde777

WOW man, that is gonna be one bad a$$ car when you are done. Way to represent
