    Default AWD spyder

    Thanks to Zane I need to do this again.
    Well the story begins back in 99 when I fell in love with Eclipse look so I got a blue 95 420A so that was too slow and in 01 I got a 98 D32A P88 DSM and right after my brother got a 99 D38A in 03 I think. Long story short after the whole scene on the sunrise we parked the cars in the garage so we don't end up in jail.He got married and car was siting in my garage for 3 years and he did not want to sell it so he asked me if I would like to take it as a CHRISTMAS present?I never liked D38a's but the car has a original paint,black interior,silver gages and 44,000miles and it's 99 so I sad YES and Ooooo boy did my trouble start lol.
    Few day before I knew about getting the car I got a 95 AWD talon for him to do the awap with my $$$(I just wanted to see it AWD)
    He said NO and I got the car.I took it to the shop I used to work at and start douing the AWD convertion.I replaced all the seals on the diff T/Case Tranns(97-99 trans and Tcase)and power washed all the parts so it looks good.
    I undercoated the under car so it looks new as well and my Friend Dan helpt me a LOT as well.My brother worked at the same place and did not cared that I was douing all this work and that made me SAD :-(
    Well here are some the pics of the conversion.
