Now that it is finished and running I had to start worrying about other repairs it needs. After thinking it over I felt that the car needs far more work than I have time to give it, so I opted to sell it. I'm asking $3800 but I will take offers or trades if anyone is interested. I'm already shopping around for a replacement, I'm deciding between an Olds Intrigue or a Grand Prix GT, both with the ledgendary GM 3800 torque... Read More
Today was the big day. We cracked at it for maybe four hours and got the Talon running. Sorry guys but I didn't get a video of the first start up, however I can tell you that it only took 30 seconds of fuel system priming and four crank attempts to get it started.

After that I spent a good 3 hours trying to get the engine out myself before my buddy Chase made it over aroun 11pm, laying down a first coat of green on the hood some time arou... Read More
The past few days have been absolutely terrible for going out and working on the car. If anyone has been paying attention to the national news it has just been one round of severe weather after another so I haven't been able to do too much, but the time I've had to out has been productive. One CV shaft is disconnected, another is giving us lots of troubles that we'll just deal with once it is out of the car, we haven't even touched the rear prop shaft yet. The emissions control...
