mr-starion Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) I figured id start showing everyone what ive been up to, ive been at this engine bay since i got the car to just make it look new again. I bought this car about 6 years ago now and before that i had found it in a garage sitting there for 21 years with 22 467 miles on it. I opened the door to see what it looked like and was suprised that it had the smell of a brand new car, i looked around and could not believe the condition of everything, original mitsubishi floormats that looked like noone had sat in the car where i hear now that this is super rare lol. Bought the car for 950$ and towed it home. Rebuilt the whole fuel system and somehow found a tank and donor car to get her running, took nescessary precautions and she fired right up to my suprise. As i got into the scene i realised what i had. A super rare car that does not exist where i live. Just thought id post up a few pics of how this beast is comin along...
