I give you a lot of credit for doing this on the side. Looks great, and I'm sure it drives even better! Keep us updated with the wife's car.

 

having a salvaged title, or buying one of these without repairing it yourself. and once the frame has been bent, its alot more weaker then before. think about it this way, crumple a piece of paper then flatten it back out. no matter how much you try its still never gonna be the same as it was before, now its easier to bend.
now put it into perpective of your car, except you're traveling 60mph. to me saving 10k isn't worth the safety of my life.
heres a vid on it from 5th gear.

First of all, the car will forever be an R-title. It'll have a dirty carfax, and you'll have a tough time selling it, and even if you find a buyer, that buyer won't be able to get financing for it. You'll be limited to buyers who can buy it outright pretty much.

Second, the car will never have the fit & finish that it had when it came from Mitsu. Not dissing the OP or his work, but you'll never get the car back to the same quality and reliability standards that it had when it was built.

 

I dont wont to sell the evo and not going to either.....and think of this if you watch nascar at all when the wreck their cars the are rebuilt same frame...and they go alot faster then the evo.
