My First Turbo DSM

[TheFallenJosh]

Well I practically bought this car in a box back in July. A good friend of mine was over at his uncles house and he said "hey my uncle has an Eclipse GS-T that he's selling you want it?" "my response "ummm how much?" he says "he wants $600" me "I'll be right there!". So I proceeded to his house with the cash and started to look the car over. The engine was out of it, the transmission was out of it, various interior pieces were gone or broken or taken off for no reason, the car was sanded only on one side (it didn't really even need a paint job!). Basically the guy got in way over his head and didn't really know what he was doing and just wanted it gone. So I gave him $500 and took it home. heres how it looked that day

well after a lot of waiting and the car sitting around, we got the engine and transmission in and started it up for the first time tonight, after working on it for about a week straight and a few hundred bucks later its almost completely finished. I'm excited. Heres some pictures of it after tonight, and a first start up video

Haha yea I will at some point kinda low on cash at the moment, thinking of either having my schools body shop do it (they only charge for materials and most of the kids are pretty good at it) or painting it flat black until I have the money for a real paint job. And thanks for the support guys!
