For those of you that have been following my first build over on dsmtalk, I figured it was time to get it over here on tuners.

Eventually after this picture I did some odds and ends with the car but not to much.
 
Wow, its been three years since I last posted. Sadly, that's due to not touching the car in years. After moving for school, leaving the car back in Michigan, moving back to Michigan, job, having a baby, etc. Poor talon has sat in a garage that whole time 40 mins from me.

However, I'm back!!!! With that though, and looking back at my build. It makes me cringe from the things I've learned since then. The do's and dont's, the right and wrong way to modify. Don't get me wrong, still a lot I question, but now I have a better grasp and am able to wrap my head around what I'm doing.

Once I get out of work, I'll sit on the lap top and start posting more up to date explanations and photos. Also, figure out where all my photos already posted went? Wtf...

Feels good to be back, and to have my balls back.

Also, its been three years and still in the newbie section.... Has it been long enough to have it moved yet?

Or maybe I would prefer if a mod could delete it? Don't know if I can. All the old pictures except for one is gone? Id rather just start the build thread from scratch.
