1990 Talon Budget Build

[School Boy]

So I came across a good deal on a Talon TSI AWD roller so I bought it. It doesn't look like much but it was a Texas car and it is in very good shape. There is zero rust anywhere on the body and the underside is very clean for the year. It has some minor suspension upgrades, short throw shifter, front mount intercooler and some other little stuff like that. The previous owner also converted the rear to the 92-94 style tail lights and spoiler, which I think looks pretty cool. This build isn't going to be anything crazy, just a fun winter/daily. Here are a few pics...

My personal favorite 1g bodywork combo, popup and 1gb talon rear, just missing 1gb talon side skirts. Very interested in seeing how this build is going to proceed.

Thanks man! I personally love this combo as well. The guy I bought it from did a nice job at filling in the holes from the other spoiler. The only thing I need are the side skirts like you said and then I will have the whole car painted gloss black.

Just a little update. I got the car back from paint today. Here's a couple quick pics I took. I should have this thing up and running in the next couple weeks.

Looks 100% better. Offtopic: Is this place in Schaumburg? I feel like i've driven past it before but I can't put my finger on it.

Thanks! Yes that was at Speed Inc in Schaumburg. I work there.

I haven't updated in a while because I've been super busy. I got the motor in last weekend. I'm waiting on my 1990 shifter arms and cable bracket to come in from JNZ and I can put them on the trans and get the trans in the car. In the mean time I need to have my flywheel resurfaced and stepped correctly. After I get all that back and in the car I can put the 14b on and the rest of the turbo system on and fire this thing up fir the first time.
