I didn't and I'm not planning to. I have almost all the stuff for sale though if anyone wants it.

ok, sorry for the stupid question but where did you get the rear floor pan from, and how much did it set you back? if you don't mind me asking.

I got it from Japperformanceparts.co.uk. Good luck if you want one though, it's taken months to get
this one and they aren't getting anymore now. If you want a 5 or 6 clone though you use the rear
floor (well, the whole rear end actually) from an 8 or 9 as they're the same as the 5/6. As far as cost,
it's a whole lot. Shipping alone was around $700 and the floor wasn't cheap either. Mirage conversions
definitely aren't for the faint of heart.

Few more pics, got the console in and unwrapped the floorpan! (Interior is not near as dirty as the pic makes it look, I think there was dust on the lense and there's no stain on the seat either )

Wow haha my thread on Mirageforums has been exploding I'm surprised I got no comments here as I'll be doing the AWD conversion now! There's only two other AWD 5G coupes out there that we know of. Maybe ya'll are just speechless? This was me when we loaded it onto the truck:

Saj over at Japperformanceparts.co.uk found it for me! Good luck finding one for yourself! He's not carrying them anymore, mine is the last one he said he's export ing to the US. If you want a 5 or 6 clone though you can use the floor from an 8 or 9, (since the 5/6 are widebody) the 4 floor is the only one that's special. 8/9 floors are easier to come buy since you just gotta find one that's been totalled. Thanks!
