you are correct. i went to see it a few months ago, but the kid who was supposed to be buying my car never came up with the cash. but now i think i'm just gunna do it. i drive about 20 miles to work and in the snow with my RWD firebird it would take me twice as long if not more to get there. AWD turbo'd talon is one of the first cars i fell in love with which is how i got into cars
Chewy
Good luck if you do.

rims are gone asap... i already have a set lined up off of my friend's talon. as for the hood, i think it completes the car. not a fan of the stock hood at all

He was on the old Rekless site, I always liked that car, good luck.

Randy
well, it's official. i sold my firebird this morning and am going to be picking up the talon asap. Cannot wait. needs a bit of work so i'll take some pics as i go along.
Chewy
Congrat's man!
custom rides

Nrw
Awesome man. Thats a nice talon.
Nick?
hey when u bringing it to a meet i wanna see it
Jillyo
Not a fan of the hood but otherwise good car! smile.gif
LSRengineering
Looks good glad you got something you wanted.
Randy
thanks everyone! i'll hopefully have it in two weeks ready to drive. needs a bit of work as it's not running very well right now but since I have some time and a garage i figure about a full day nonstop and this will be running perfectly. the first seekonk meet after it's running i'll be there. raynham is pretty far but if i getit done on a raynham week i'll probably take it up there anyway to get a few easy pulls on the turbo. so excited biggrin.gif
Ford_dude

everyone has different likes and dislikes... i love the hood too. not a big fan of the rims at all though. but for right now i'm more concerned with getting it running.
Nick?

yea i'm actually already on there...and not to change subject but DAMN there's a lot of drama over there lol... but i may be getting those exact rims i posted up before. they are my friend bruce's. I'm not sure if he is keeping them for his project talon or if he's selling em tho. we'll see
Stangman_NB
