What does it take to go from a 1G-A eclipse rear end to a 1G-B talon rear end (Going to eventually do a H2 headlight conversion), Have friend who has everything we will need to do it for a good price, major electrical and fabrication?

Hey, I finally got my 90 Eclipse GSX to have the performance and power that I want it to have (Its a 12-13 second sleeper car). Now I am wanting to work on the cosmetic aspect of it. So what I am wondering is, What does it take to convert from a 1G-A Eclipse rear end to a 1G-B Talon rear end. I have a friend who has the talon rear end for us for a good price, but I need to make sure that this isnt going to require fabrication or major electrical work because that is not where I am inclined LOL. Any tips or help would be great. Thanks
 
You will need the donor metal bumper, bumper cover, all light assemblies and the bulb/wires to hook everything up
 
Everything he said above plus the metal support hanger for the new talon bumper, this piece is spot welded to the back of the car so you would need to drill it to get it off. Plus there is a relay and harness under the radio that you need, because with out it, the rear lights will be all fudged up. (I know because my friend did it to his 92 laser, and it was a pain in the ass to figure out)
Heres his thread on it:

Sweet,that's exactly what i needed.My main thing is that im not really familiar with bodywork.Im more than capable with mechanical ability,so as long as there isnt any major fab work and crazy electrical issues i should be just fine.:thumb:
