I just went and picked up my new talon last night, Red in color TSI AWD. To my surprise I found that the guy I made the deal with took alot more than what he told me he wanted. I had wanted to use it stricktly as a drag car and keep my blue one as a DD.
He told me he wanted all the interior and some fuse blocks under the hood. Well... He got that and then some. I can't even try to start it no keys, ecu, radiator, cut the wires on the main fuse block under the hood and took it. I didn't mind him taking the interior, because that was just one thing I didn't have to remove to get it ready for my project.
I'm just going to make this LONG story short. I didn't get what I thought I was going to get. I feel I got screwed on my finders fees. When a man tells you he wants this this and this. That is what you would expect for him to take no more no less. This has just been eating me since I got home with it and found all this.
He also got the four best wheels, Which would have been no problem if they were all the aluminum. He took my winter wheels and left me with three stock aluminum and a steely. No fourth aluminum anywhere to be found. So now in the winter I have to run my aftermarkets. I also gave him a rebuilt JDM throttle body.
Now if I had known he was going to come and strip it for what it's worth, I would not have offered what he got from me.

So now what do I do with it? Do I scrap it out and sell what I can sell? Or do I try to put it back together? I do know that I am going to sell the sun roof out of it. I am just in AHH at what I found, As I love these cars.
If any of you want to see pics before he got ahold of it let me know by PMing me your email address. Let me know what you think guys.
