The best part is that I ended up getting the car pretty much free because it was going to end up at the junkyard anyway. Everything it needs, I already have. Well except a few front end pieces, but those will come in time. My first concern is getting the motor out, disassembled and rebuilt. Everything else will come in time.

You still want to lend a hand sometime with this one Brad?

LOL you know i do, man.

the damn thing reminds me of my black car... all tore down with no hope hahahaha

nice, i'll be following this.

Not an update really, but I plan to start taking everything apart in the engine bay tomorrow getting the engine ready to come out. Expect pics sometime tomorrow.

That car is badass, but quite a bit over the top for my taste. I'm going for a clean, subtle cruiser that has enough under the hood to raise the blood pressure a little.

yea its way over done becuase its actually been tested in a wind tunnel and its completely stream line. but i klnow what you mean im goin for the same thing with my talon.

Alright, a little update. I got a few things done, but the weather just wasn't agreeing with me and since I have to work OUTSIDE, I only did what I could.

I got the fuel rail off, banged out some of the damage and removed power steering pump and reservoir. Drained and removed radiator. Took out filter box and intake piping. My hands are practically frozen solid, so that is all I could really do today.









I was hoping the radiator would be salvagable, but its bent, and looks like it's seen better days anyway. A new one will be ordered.




The power steering fluid reservoir was smashed up pretty good.



All of the stock intake crap thats going bye bye anyway.



Theres a nice huge solid chunk of ice in front of the car, which really makes it hard to get to some things under the hood.



And just another random picture of the new Eclipse.



Stay tuned, more updates to come as the weather improves, and if I get a helping hand here and there.
