Interesting to see what everyone else is doing.. I'm doing a headgasket, ARP head studs, timing belt, switching over to a 68hta with a 44mm tial mvs external setup, Speed density setup, fmic, and hopefully somewhere in there I'll stop procrastinating and order a set of cams.. I pulled the "While i'm in there..." card and my girlfriend thinks I'm insane.. the entire apartment has boxes of parts stuffed under tables and couches until the last of the parts come in.

(my car was bone stock when I got it 2 years ago.. slowly approaching 93k miles so figure I'll just do it all in one shot)

I already have 850 injectors, a wideband and dsmlink (in case anyone was worried.. I know it happens out here)
 
My talon is getting a face lift. I managed to track down a cherry 1g turbo bumper, even in my exact color! So I gotta trim it to fit around my front mount. Repainted all the oxidized trim pieces, fabricate a new crash bar, since the last owner hacked it to bits with a cutting torch to clear the intercooler. Going to work on a cross bar behind my recaro seats and go to 5 point harnesses and ditch allllll of the auto seat belts. I even tracked down mint 1ga front bumper/ wheel well pieces, not even a tire rub on them! And I'll mount the new bumper/ inner fender pieces with stainless hardware
 
I bought a 1GA FWD Laser that skipped time. The previous owner pulled the head and started to part it out, but even lost interest in doing that. Basically, everything that sits atop the head gasket is gone, but I have so many parts left over from my 2gb AWD Talon Spyder build, that I'm only having to buy nit-picky stuff to get this Laser back to life.

My 2g head is at the machine shop and should be finished up next week some time. In the mean while, I've been cleaning everything and getting the car ready to become a nice driver again. I have a build thread over on DSMTalk:
