As the title says I traded the multi colored eclipse and I got a 1998 Eagle Talon ESI that just needs a timing belt (No bent valves) I also recieved a 1982 camaro with a 350 bored 30 over (355) and some cash. Anyway here are some pics of the talon

Our easy way of pushing it into the garage.





More shots of the car.





































Minor surface strut tower rust I am going to just use a wire wheel or something then paint it with rust preventer, it isnt all the way through the tower.



Timing belt missing teeth





A few pics of the camaro just to show you guys, its not pretty but its quick, Honestly though I have been offered a GST that needs a head for it so I am thinking.







My daily driver 95 Escort




My fiancee's car 98 dodge stratus 2.4L



Anyway, The talon is getting the motor pulled and over winter im building it right for turbo, it is an auto and I might consider a MTX swap. The stock front bumper is staying on it becuase I think its a awesome looking bumper, and I will probably find a decent looking rear bumper because I dont like the stock one, I will also be looking for 2gb sideskirts as well. As far as paint I think its just going to get a nice new back paint and maybe some decals on the sides.

Anyway im sure many of you will be happier with what im doing here.

Let me know what you think. I know I lost out on the deal but the eclipse was boring me.

Trade for the GST, trade for the GST!!!!!! Heads for those cars are easier than the ones for ours. Fix the timing belt and daily drive the Talon and then put the build into the GST.

Wow, you have a shitload of work to do to that hog to bring it back to life.

Nice!

A few tips though:

Paint the block black this time.

Clean that car.

While the motor is out you might as well strip the paint in the bay and repaint. You have Rustbucket number two on your hands.

Also, look for rust in the wheel wells, remove, repair, then Rhine line.

very nice. yes, alot of work to do.

Also, for the love of God, do not kit that car.

If you find yourself wanting to kit it, PM me with the bumper price and I will buy it.

Park the Talon and put your money into the Z28.

I hate hipsters.

So, let me understand:

You traded your Eclipse for a non-running Talon and running Camaro, however you are considering trading that running camaro for a non-running GST?

you got hosed IMO

I dont know why everyone thinks this is such a bad deal. You got two cars for one ugly ass car, I think u came out alright. Ths will give you the oppritunity to build another 2g (without ruining it) and still have some donut fun with the camaro. The engine bay on the camaro is pretty clean man. I do agree that the Talon will be alot of work. I would DD the Chevy, park the bird, and put the escort out of it's misery. Just my .02
