Well, I've been working on the car quite a bit now, and I forgot to update my profile as I've made progress. Oops
Once I got home from college me and my dad started work on the car. We put the engine in and that was a long day's work.
The engine is back in the car with the transmission and transfer case/driveline attached as well. Lots of hoses are attached back where they are supposed to be and I even bought a blue hose kit to replace the 25+ year old hoses in the car. I also got some wire sheathing to clean up the admittedly crappy looking electrical wires. Currently, the Talon is pretty close to being roadworthy again, these are the things that I have left to do
3" downpipe and test pipe fitment issues
paint my outlander caliper brackets to make them look like they didn't come off of a junked car
replace the pads, front rotors and calipers
finish the FMIC piping for the 14b
re-attach the cold air intake
mount the radiator and fans back on
wire the coil pack to reflect the 97 ECU in my car
fill the car with pretty much every fluid aside from windshield washer fluid
re-attach my 95 bumper until I have all the goodies to put on the 97 bumper
de-rust and re-attach my battery tray
quintuple check and pray that I have all lines and plugs connected and in the right spots
cycle through the break in oil and hope for no leaks
It's been quite the journey with this car, and I'm pretty excited to get it back on the road after months of sitting! Life and school happened so it was hard to get a lot of work done on it at all, but finally its all coming together. Enjoy these pictures:
(Also to those of you who want more interior pics, I'll be sending those sometime soon)
