*Mods, figured I would put it in here as my old thread was in here as well. You can move it to the Interior/Exterior section if you think it is better suited*

Well guys, the fixing of the eclipse has begun (about a month or so ago). I figured I would make a thread to let everyone know what I have been up to. I made a thread about hitting the deer back in january and got my talon instead of fixing the eclipse. Well, after all these months, the talon can't fill the shoes of the eclipse and I am selling it and fixing the eclipse with the money. I have too much love, history, and memories with the eclipse that I can't just let her sit and rot. Here are some pics of the before, after, and progress I have made getting her back on her feet. I am waiting for body parts to come in and then she will go to the body shop to get straightened out.

Before:






Aftermath:






Thought it was going to be a parts car:


But couldn't do that to her, removed A/C and P/S since components were damaged:


Getting it all back on the car (suspension, interior, etc):


Current Engine Bay pics, waiting for more parts to come in:




Valve cover is more darker than it appears. Color is called "Cast Coat Iron" and looks gunmetal-like. Any comments or critizism welcome. Thought I would let you guys know what was up with me lately haha.

Also another update, I hooked up the battery and started her up for about 10-15 sec to get some oil circulating. Took a few cranks, but she eventually came. It was an awesome thing to be able to start her again after 6 months of sitting. No oil leaks either were seen from the back of the block so I did a good job this time with the oil lines haha.
