question about evo 7 conversion

Hi, I was wondering, on this forum there is a yellow lancer (I assume evo 8) which has been converted to a evo 7, how easy is this conversion, is it a 123 exchange with the evo7 parts and evo 8 stock parts? I noticed he has a lot of jdm parts, how hard is it to locate and purchase jdm parts? sorry if I sound stupid, but I know little about lancer evolutions, but I might be interested in purchasing one if I can easily convert the car to have the asthetics of a evo7.

Anyways don't you drive an ES, if so, just buy the kit from Accolade or RRM...

If you buy an evo 8 want to convert to an evo 7. It's "bolt on" style if you buy the oem kit. But you will need to remove the front r.bar to fit the front bumper.

I can get you new OEM Mitsu parts from Japan.

But to convert an ES to EVO 7 will require a lot of work. But nothing money can't solve

Please contact me when you are ready, i will see what I can do for you

Thanks
Cal
