Hey guys, feel like now is the time to start another build thread!
1990 Talon shell with a 4 bolt rear.
I sold off my orange car a roller but kept most of the parts from it. I left the tubular subframe because it was a huge pain in the ass and I'm really wanting to go a different direction with this car. The last one was all out racecar and this one is going to be very OEM but with some nice touches here and there. I've come to appreciate original 90's cars much more and I like this car so much because it still has original parts that I've never even seen before on DSM's. Here are some pictures of it since I've had it (over the last few years.) My friend has owned it since ~2003 and it's been up on the lift at his shop basically since then. So this car has been sitting sheltered for the last 17 years or so. It has some slight road racing history in the early 2000's, but is mostly original.
This is how it has been sitting:
After a quick wash:
Immaculate interior:
Here it is being transported by my buddy's imported tow truck!
Got rid of the awful wheels and slapped on the old RPF1's for now. Tried fitting my R32 GTR wheels but the hub bore doesn't quite work with the Talon hubs. I thought about milling them but they would not fit my brakes either. The 16's and gunmetal color really looked period style, but I've got something even cooler waiting to go on.
