92 talon ground up restore

[tkrPerformance]

Here is the restore of my old 92 talon. I got the car it was a 4g63 n/a for dirt cheap to use as a D.D. at the time. The girl ran it out of coolant. So I did a turbo swap to it since I have a ton of parts laying around from parting out 40+ 1g's at the time.

The car was sold off as a shell 2 years ago. and now the built engine is in my 98 awd spyder and before that it was in a 93 evo 1 swap that was sold as a shell also.

The restore was all done in 2005. I used the car as my D.D. then the wife used it as her D.D. till I sold it off in 2009

here is right before I started on it. the car had a cheap macco paint job on it from the person I bought it from. I also replaced the fender they were also rusted out.
The white talon in the back ground was also mine at the time till I sold it to a buddy
