Well this is my 1990 manual awd talon i bought for $350 dollars that ran none the less. Bought in the end of august of 08. This car was owned by the original owner since 90 (woman owner) which lived almost right up the street in wv.
I Sold the eprom ecu and other stuff in the car out and made money off it. LMAO
The car has 103k on it now. The nasty thing was it had been home to every little critter in this neck of the woods, not to mentioned the smell. I had to trash the inside and remove 20 or 30 pounds of dead mice, mice crap, spiders, everything but a kitchen sink. Hell the exhaust (stock) was filled with dead mice and mice nests. I had atleast 4 huge lawn bags 3 filled with napkins and rags and 1 filled with crap and dead stuff, it was bad.
I thought it was at this point to sell it but after a good few weeks of airing it out, i realized that the car was still in great condition not to mention the price i had bought it for. Had no rust and was not wrecked. Car was sold because the original motor was blown so they used a 2.0 non turbo in a awd car with a awd tranny (which had 190 compression on the n/a motor!). Got it towed for 35 bucks... and since i had just recently parted out my other talon with the front mount, 50 trim, exhaust, and my fresh 6k rebuilt stock 6 bolt etc... I knew that this was the new toy.
The cars paint is amazing, Minus the paint on the front bumper and roof it had sat under a tree for the 6 years so it was shielded from most of the weather and sun.
Well i sold the fifty trim (stupid-stupid-stupid me) but it will get a FP green or red or if i wanna put up a good rape on the locals maybe a gt35r, but i need to know more about the holset hx35-40.
It needs a bath again and a better engine clean.
Just need to finish cleaning the head, order my timing belt, oil for the t-case and lastly Finish front mount mock up. I also need to find a honestly great working turbo, because there are so many people selling blown turbos on here and ebay and other sites it is not even worth trying to get one other than through a local.
Defiantly not bad for 350...
No if i can only find a another 2g awd manual again for 200 ill be very happy. I got lucky last year with that but i dunno if it will happen again.
Gonna keep A/C and power all, heck i might even try to make this a targa top, cause they look sick on a 1g.
So far i have done a few weight reduction stuff but not going extreme with it i think i have managed to take almost 100 pounds out of the car. So i should be around 3000 without me in it.
September and October of 07
This is about 1-2 months after i got it, dont have any pics of it while it was sitting under a tree for 6 years. All i have is memories of that, i also blacked out the lights.
