Just picked up my Talon TSI, found one near me that runs and drives great, just needs love and TLC and someone to fix her up!
1995 Talon TSI
This is gonna be a slow build, and I gotta un Frankenstein the wire harness that previous owner "modded" for the crappy alarm system, neon, and amp crap haha. Will post pics of progress while I work on her, but meanwhile here she is!

AND, as you can see, a side window will be one of the first to fix... :)

Welcome! Should be fun. Is that a fiberglass hood or carbon fiber painted black? There is a DSM meet every other Saturday night (one coming up on the 13th) at Broadway's on Baymeadows and 9A.

Thank ya! It's a fiberglass, previous owners did a butcher job on quite a few things on this car including the hood, so I got some repair work to on it. Definitely got my work cut out for me, but it's gonna be an amazing machine when I'm finally through with it :D I won't make it this meet, but my girlfriend are definitely gonna start making appearances! :)
 
I would have loved my mustang, if it had been 5.0 and 5 speed. But I found my talon and it was well worth the trade! Lol
 
Thanks! When I'm ready, I'm gonna repaint it this color, just not wit a spray can like it is now! Lol
 
Yea they did a pretty good job with it! Lol. I really like this blue and black color scheme I've got goin on so I'm probably gonna stick with it. And I love the color of this blue :)
Got a throwout bearing to replace before I can make the trip to show it off to all you Jax guys! Haha
 
LOL. Yea the blue and black is always nice. I like my red and black style. Ill have more pics of mine up when I get my turbo back on and clean it up. You gonna try and paint it yourself or go to a auto body shop?
 
I've got a couple buddies with paint booths at their shops, but my girlfriend and I will be doing all the work ourselves. (Got lucky and found a woman who likes cars as much as I do!) :D haha
 
Definitely LOL. Mine will not only grab a wrench and know what to do with it, but will also grab us beers from the fridge :D we're excited to start building the talon.

I tell her to quit riding them... she does it anyway LOL... she complains my car is a piece of junk because it stalls sometimes... I tell her to go make me a sammich....

Lol! Nice bro, I struck gold with this one. Even though my talon needs work she absolutely loves it. The only condition she gave me for me trading the mustang was to teach her how to drive a 5 speed! Lol I even get sammiches if I ask for them :)
 
Hahahaha!! :)
Come to find out I may end up needing a new body for the talon... Idiot screwed up the title and now won't answer my calls. I'm gonna have to go down and have a talk with him... Well that's if I can resist the urge to strangle him!!! Hahaha
 
Whats wrong with the body??

The guy screwed up with signing over the title and signed as purchaser, (never titled it in his name) and the DMV won't let me get it in my name. It was a careless mistake on my part... But I got a few numbers for the original owner, so I'm gonna call him and ask him for his help so everything should end up alright.
On another note, got a lot of work done today with the wiring and CORRECTLY Plummed the turbo vacuums and completely eliminated the parasitic drain, so it was a rather productive day. 2 hours worth of cutting and hunting wires and this is what I ended up with! Lol

If you can get the original owner and the guy you bought it off of to sign a notarized letter then the DMV should let you go ahead and register the vehicle
