EVO 5 RHD> mirage conversion> The truth.

[alldayreese]

I started in april of 2008, started out with just a shell bare metal no parts what so ever, except it had the body work dune already which was why I pcked it up.
this was a 98 mitsubishi mirage 4 door I had to by piece by piece to part a hole car together because I could not afford a front clip at the time.
I was living a apartment build in san francisco community garage I did most of the work then towed it to nevada where I finish it out side in my friends parking lot ( snow sux)
Most of you guys may think its just a mirage but Really there is no parts besides the frame that I can think of that is not a part from a evo 4,5,6,8,9 on my car even the k frame.
