so it all started about 2 years ago...
my first car was a 1997 eagle talon esi that i had for all of 6 months before someone blew through a yield sign in a neighborhood doing about 40mph and t-boned me and pretty much destroyed my talon. it took about 4-5 months for me to get any money out of insurance whatsoever so i was without a car for a few months, when it finally came time and i got my insurance check i couldnt find ANY decent DSMs within my price range. finally i came across my 1998 galant es for 600 bucks with no overdrive. i fixed the overdrive and drove it for exactly a year then i started this build.
this build started this past october and its been a lot of fun and ive had help from MKO with my fuel pump wiring and my buddies Reckless and Sin Inkster from Reckless Innovations have been helping throughout the entire build. my donor car was a 1997 eclipse gsx with a WHOLE LOT of rust and a blown transmission.
Reckless and I took my transmission to his machine shop and rebuilt the trans and continued the build. i've ran into little problems here and there throughout the entire process but I'm nearing the end of it thanks to all the help I got from everyone. still gotta put my new rear calipers on and bleed the brakes and i gotta mount my gas tank and put the intercooler where it belongs instead of in the engine bay LOL then im on the road!
heres a link to every single picture i have of my car and the build
