Eclipse to Talon Conversion Questions

[mcraetim23]

If anyones interested I'm looking to swap my tolon stuff for eclipse stuff gonna do a eclipse conversion on my 95 talon

 

[TheFallenJosh]

Got my strakes in today! I'm ordering some new clips for them so I know for a fact they'll stay on! . And when I get the car painted, the guy that is doing it also does powdercoating!

So I'm going to have him do this for my valve cover

Ok guys today I didn't get much done. But I did get the dash bolted in and took the rear bumper off.
Then I decided to do a quick mock up

Hopefully I will be moving the brackets, washing the carpet, and putting on my new exhaust tomorrow! I will let you all know what happens next!

 

[TheFallenJosh]

Its been a few days I know. Sunday afternoon I got the carpet all cleaned up and put in, and finished bolting up the rest of the interior. Hopefully when I get home from school today I can get the seats cleaned up and bolted in before I go to work. Also my plug cover came in yesterday. I'm picking up my new clips from the dealership and my turbo timer should be here today! I'm really hoping to get a majority of it this finished over this week. Its come this far I can't quit now! One of the strake pieces I bought is broken though, so I have to figure out how to patch that up. Also one last thing, I really need the measurements for the holes in the hatch for the 2gb Talon spoiler, that is really holding me back right now. If anyone could find that out for me that'd be great!

 

[TheFallenJosh]

Today I've been washing the seats and moving brackets. I now have the rear bumper on! yay! Exhaust is on the todolist tonight as well. Pictures later tonight!

So I have a question, is this a 2ga talon skirt? I've been looking for the top piece and I cant find it anywhere.

Yep! That is the 2GA Talon twisty skirts. That piece there was all I had when I started this conversion, now I have the fender caps and I'm trading my eclipse skirts for the door pieces (the top piece as you called it) here this week then I will have everything I need to finish! (well I still need the eagle center caps and gsx wheels but those can go on after)

Thanks bro! Glad to see you support my "copying"
Well tonight we got the wiring for the taillights "finished" its at least legal to drive for now, just some more fine tuning to do, put the new exhaust on, put the back seats in, bolted up the steering column, and installed the turbo timer. Tomorrow we will finish putting the interior in, glue down the peeling passenger airbag cover, and get the side strakes put on no pics tonight guys, too dark

Keep it up, bro. Can't wait to see the finished product. Have you thought about what color you're going to paint it when you're done?

The car should be done this weekend guys! The interior is in 100% and the bumpers and spoiler and fully fastened! All I need now is the strakes and skirts to go on, well then paint. Hopefully the last of the parts will be in early next week!

 

[Arnie]

Good job bro, glad to see you're almost done!

See you have a car to drive!

Now to finish the Eclipse!!!!

Soon my friend, soon. I STILL have yet to hear from the insurance company about it!, its so stupid. I drove the Talon to school yesterday when I shut it "off" and walked away everyone was like dude you're car is tsill running! I said yeah thats kind of the point they were like what? I said turbo timer they were all like WTF I just and walked away. It felt so good to drive it again after it sitting for a month. It should be all done next week, minus the paint.

Great work!

Do you know the total amount of money spent on this? Just out of curiosity.

Also, where did you get that beautiful Eagle emblem at? Or did you make it?

I just got a big Eagle emblem from the JY a few days ago. It's going in the same exact spot you put yours.
