I know what you mean by being frustrated with a project.
I'm still tossing around the ideas of what to do with the talon.
Granted mine was bought running/driving although half the time now its been broken lol.
Seems like I just can't get a break, it seems I have the most abnormal things breaking on top of general things breaking. My motor mount completely falling apart on me, hitting a pothole and screwing up a ton of wires, breaking bolts here and there, pissing oil everywhere out the side of the motor somewhere in boost - thinking it was cam seals but now I'm wondering. I remember the week after I got the car home I decided to check the oil and had like, barely a drop on the dipstick - bout gave me a heart attack.
The car looks so nice and clean and when it runs it runs great.
It really drives a person nuts
