I am currently just starting this project I pick it up this weekend. It has been sitting in a storage building for 4 years, being started occasionally. Currently the master cylinder is bad and the turbo needs a rebuilt but other than that this car is completely stock drive train wise. It has had Blitz body kit put on it early 2000s, and then front bumper ripped off so stock talon bumper thrown on. All of this is being taken off, and I am converting it over to a 98 stock body style eclipse. More info and pics to come of this build as it happens. So stay tuned.

Got the Rear Eclipse bumper on a used unit, and also got the new 98 eclipse front one in yesterday, will install this one this weekend hopefully. Going to pickup the stock side skirts and another rear hatch off a stock RS car, so I don't have to drill the Talon deck for the RS spoiler to go on. Body is coming together. Once I get this done and cleaned up, I will take some pics. Then I will start on getting the interior in order. Traveling to Alabama to the Loyalty Crew Home center to pick up and swap out the Stock leathers I have for a good set of Stock leathers. And possibly pick up a set of coilovers. Next up is Suspension and Wheels. Getting basic body work done and slicked down. Setting up meeting with Local wrap company. Getting Car ready for Fall IA shows and Sparks of Insanity in Alabama for October show. Going in on stock motor setup for now till winter then pulling drive train for upgrade and rebuild of it all. Got 2 new Sponsors on board.
Audio will be taken care of with my Audio guy TCAUDIO.net Hertz Audio and Kenwood.
And picked up a 5k sponsor on car as well. So things are moving forward excited about this build. 2016 is looking good for the AWD beast and Loyalty Crew.

Picked up parts car this week, this will finish up all remaining parts for body and interior. Now to get it all started. We have exactly one month before the first Show and have alot to do. Interior swap but first sound deadening, wiring for sound system, body panels, few dings to slick down, then apply body wrap. Do some wire tuck in engine bay, cleanup engine bay, bracket cleanup and painting in bay. New wheels, add new coil-overs and drop. Coming together, but it will be close......

Worked on the project this weekend some, swapped on set stock 16" Eclipse wheels till my 18's come in. Put a straight hood on, going to swap over set of doors, fenders and rear hatch in the next few days. The side skirts on the car are coming off, and going with stock side skirts. Also going stock rs/gs spoiler that is on the rear hatch we are swapping over. Getting ready to wrap car. Also when we swapped wheels, unsettled the left front wheel bearing because now it is squealing and howling, so ordered new set of them. Will swap those out when they come in. On to the next stages stay tuned.
