Hello, this is my 97 Eclipse GST Rebuild thread.. and stuff.
Lets start off saying this car is my baby, Im the 2nd owner of her. Bought her from a fellow around 35-40's somewhere along there. I paid $3,800 for it.
Post 1- Bringing it to the shop..
Post 2- The Tear down
Post 3- The Rebuild
Post 4- New Goodies!!
Post 5- The finished Product.
The car when I got it-
-100% Bone stock, for the exception of a JVC headunit +10 points
-Excellent interior, leather has little wear +10 points
-Exterior was almost perfect for the exception of a small dent on the quarter and rust in the bay +5 points
-Never smoked in, although I smoke, I wont in the car, Ill TRY... +5 points
I had started this thread a few hours ago, took me an hour to type it all up.. While uploading photos my lovely firefox crashed! So I'm retyping EVERYTHING. It bothers me ooo so much. SO instead of retyping the sad sad story of my rebuild, Ill tell you this: Drove it for 5 days, let a buddie drive it ONE day while I drove the GSXR600 and he brought it back to me that evening on a motha' ....... trailer. He was, .
Enjoy!

I lost my iPhone that had all the photos of when I first bought her, so this is what I have to begin with. (mind all these photos were taken with my iPhone.)
This is what it was like when I got her stock, too bad I lost all the photos I had running and in the bay. :/
