Those pics are from when the previous owner had the car. I have it now and am slowly going through the car. This spring we just finished the first major work on the car. The engine was pulled, inspected, and reinstalled, trans was pulled and rebuilt, new clutch and flywheel, etc. Sourcing an exhaust was gonna take forever so I had a 3" turbo back custom made for it. I had custom upper and lower intercooler piping made for it. It has the original TME turbo and breathes like crazy now. I just recently finished swapping an Evo 8 ECU into it so it would pass emissions here in Maryland and so I could have it tuned. I had the vinyl removed, all of the paint buffed and new vinyl installed, including having the engine bay cleaned while everything was out. The brakes were pulled, calipers powdercoated and rebuilt, ARP studs and Hawk pads installed. Mechanically the car is awesome and the exterior cosmetics are great. Now finishing up some minor interior details left over as a result of the RHD to LHD conversion (power window controls, etc.) If any of you guys are members of DCEvoClub I'll be at the picnic this Sunday and I'll also be at Mach Vs car show on Saturday.

"Molested" is an interesting term. Most of the work was mechanical, to get it back into good running form. I have all of the original intake plumbing, air box, etc. as well. It definitely breathes MUCH better in this form.
