I've been working on this alone, so my progress has been slow. My body hates me, and the sunburn on my back is brighter than my red shorts! I'm converting my 2GA talon to a 2GB eclipse. Work Done So Far: - Headliner Removed - Sunroof replaced (old one was broken) - Front End, complete conversion w/ fog lights - Rear of talon removed - Rear lights of eclipse fitted To Do: - Install Rear Bumper - Install Side Skirts - Figure Out Tail Wiring - Install Spoiler Pictures:

Hell yeah man...looks good. Sorry I'm not able to be there to give you a hand. I know an extra set of hands is always a good thing, I did mine solo as well. I love the multi colour though man, it brings me back to when my rear was maroon, front end was primer and the rest was just black.
Looks like its coming along nice!
oh and by the way, sorry I missed that call, I was working all day.

I've been having a really hard time getting a 3rd brake light, but i do intend to install one, even if i have to fab one up myself.
Yes, the steering wheel was the first thing to change out.
She is indeed an NT.. I already built the engine as much as I am going, next focus is for custom sub box.
And lastly, lol, the paint place I have picked out is a place called "Loyalist Autobody" in Picton. He's charging me roughly $1500 for the entire car, and I've seen his work so I can trust him.

Well, went in for a more accurate paint estimate than over the phone, and it's way different I am still doing to get it painted at the same place, since the price is still "relatively" right. He said that since painting a black car sucks (basically), it's more expensive. He ran me through why;my car is full of little dents that dont look so bad now, but after a nice clear coat will show up. He's going to skip working on the hood, and just buy a new one for it. Lastly, the side skirts and spoiler, not a lot of work there, but he's going to paint the body where they go, then mount the skirts, then paint again. Same with the wing. Anyway, tax and all, he is giving me $2450 ish. That's $1000 under the table, then $1300 with tax. The deal with imperfections: "After the car is back in your hands, if you see something you dont like just bring it back to me and I will fix it." May 12 she goes in.
