Got this car off a buddy of mine, Rob who lives an hr away from me. The car was gutted , almost every bolt removed. I really have my work cut out for me! My original car which was a 95 Eagle Talon Tsi was an R title and also was showing severe signs of rust at the strut towers. So I decided to pick up this awesome clean title awd gsx instead of heading back to the Evo community for my next extreme build. So I went and got the car.

Not to burst your bubble but only the talons are considered a panda as it has the black top white bottom. "Panda". ;)

But all jokes aside good luck with the project as It looks like you have a ton of work ahead of ya.
 
Thanks for the heads up. Honestly I should of thought of something better. I will re think my build title.
 
I'm just messing with ya. Just paint the top black and put some 2gb talon bumpers on. Look way better that way to.

Also I still have this harness for ya. I just lost all our texts. I'm also parting out a 97 GST auto. It was 100% stock so nothings hacked. Not sure when ill get to pulling the running motor but should be only a few weeks.

Pm me if your interested in any of the wiring or your address if you still want the sunroof wiring.

Good luck with the build!! :)

Check mine out if you haven't already. Start up should be mid next week

Continued to remove sound deadning, removed the 2ga rear bumper and removed my black dash out of my 95 talon. I have about 1 more day of removing all the sound deadning. Then I will purchase my 95 eclipse interior harness. Then start to put my interior back together.

Just waiting on the entire interior harness to arrive. So I can get the interior back together with pics!
 
UPDATE 05/28/13

Still waiting on my interior harness to get here so I am at a stand still.

Decided to clean up the engine bay and get it ready for paint.

Also I picked up some junkyard interior pieces that were in rough shape. So I then brought them back to life.

I also had time to take off my 2ga rear bumper(for sale) and all the crash beam supports. Cleaned up all the rear section and inspected for any spots of rust!
