Finally on the road again!

I bought her in december and have been working to get it street worthy since. It is a 95 talon tsi awd if anyone was confused. I had lots of problem with rust and had to grind and weld and use alot of POR-15 but its finally done. I redid the suspention with energy bushings and new components where necessary. I had the skirts and front bumper painted and got a new left fender thanks to Brian Little and im pretty happy with the exterior for now. The mods so far include 13 inch TCE big brake kit with aluminum hats and willwood superlite 4 pot callipers up front, RM racing sway bars, Road Race rear strut tower brace, some ghetto lowering springs that came with the car, and B&M short shifter. The wheels are 17 konig villians with 245 bfgoodrich g-force sports. The motor and drivetrain is stock for now but i have plans. This is just stage 1 for the car but i'm pretty excited how well it turned out and am looking forwards to finishing my stroker and getting it in there. My goal is to make a competant road race car that is still streetable. I have a bunch of parts and stuff i need to sell on the trader too ....hint hint

PS: i have more pics, how can i upload them?

Looks awesome. It is good to hear that you stuck with it and got it on the road.

The only aesthetic recommendations that I have is to cut out that part of the front bumper opening that is supposed to be black but got painted white, and possibly a 2gb talon spoiler in the future.

Todays problem:
Strange occurences with the talon. clutch felt like it was slipping at first (but no burning smell), clutch pedal developed a strange feeling like the clutch would engage/disengage with very little pedal push, could not give car any power without the revs shooting up and car (seemingly) losing grip of clutch. Then it began to stall at idle and tryed to restart it to keep going until i pulled over and then it wouldnt start. checked the spark plug for spark and there was none (could be a separate problem maybe plug wires-doubted). Any ideas?
