Looks good. I thought I saw this car a long time ago back in 2008 but I could be wrong.

If so i think i might want to start this. but i would rather start with just the engine swap and then go onto the AWD conversion.

any tips/pointers to someone who would be looking to do this?

If I was to restart from scratch I would look for a:

93-96 Mirage LS
or same year Colt/Summit with a 1.8 "4g93"

Those cars came with a hydro 5 speed. makes the swap easier.

Then source out the parts needed,

Hard way, Buy a 92+ DSM AWD and weld in rear subframe. "4bolt"

Or much better way use factory 1-3 parts.

Eather 6 bolt dsm 4g63-t or Evo 1-3 half cut "4g63-t"
Evo 1-3 rear diff and trialling arms
Evo 5 speed and T-case
Evo 1-3 driveline
Evo gas tank / or fuel cell

Plus a very good fab guy, hope he works for beer or a cheap rate. :-

My Awd swap was about 4 months of trial and error. working on it a few hours a week.

There is lots of info on the 4g mirage 4g63-t swaps on Mirageforums.net


Sourcing parts is hard some times, But It can be done,

good place to start is Ebay:

Jhot exports
jdm exchage
and others

It was black back them from what I remember. Not too many of them around so I figured it was the same car.
