Okay so I'm gonna go ahead and start a progress thread. For those of you who haven't helped me out already around the forums, I own a 1992 Eclipse GSX 5-speed. I traded a Ruger SR40C pistol straight across for it.
Known problems on the car:
Needs paint
Not getting spark
Needs Turbo rebuild
Other than that, it's a pretty solid car. Haven't started it yet because I was busy getting my daily driver running again (1994 Camaro)
I'm planning on tearing into the spark issue as soon as I can get a battery in it. Then I'm gonna take care of all of the maintenance like plugs, wires, timing set, etc... I'll be upgrading to a 16g turbo on stock wastegate pressure until I can get ECM link and some other bolt on's.
But for now, here's some progress pics of how I came across it and how it sits in my driveway right now.
How I found it
Then we pulled it from it's 3 year home in the weeds and this is what we had.
Finally got it home and started cleaning the interior here and there on my days off and on my last day off, I borrowed a carpet shampoo machine from my work and cleaned my seats and carpet. It needs some more work but this is what I have right now. Not too bad for a few hours of vacuuming and cleaning.
