So I know I said I wouldn't post this, but I'm just way to happy and proud of what I have accomplished. Some people know about this build and alot of people don't. This thread should answer everyone's questions they've had about doing this swap.
I'm going to start off saying I'm not a Professional but I have the will power and determination. I woke up one morning and thought about how screwed up my 420a powered talon was, and thought wouldn't it be nice to actually have a straight front end on this thing. When I bought my talon I got it for 300, without an engine, and some pretty bad front end damage. I found a 97 gst for 200 on Facebook and stole all the parts I needed since it was extremely rusted out. The front clip was pretty much the only salvageable body part off the car. The roof, fenders and doors either had huge dents or cancer from rust. My non turbo talon had some nasty repair done to the strut tower from someone smashing into a guard rail, so this swap had to be done. I also had 3 4g63 engines laying around and all sorts of parts from past builds.
All in all the swap wasn't to bad. It took me about a month. These cars were both headed for the junkyard so I did what had to be done. I posted all of this in my build thread but I kind of wanted to show everyone what I accomplished. I'm not 100 percent sure where this should have been posted or even if I'm able to post it.
