couldn't agree with you more Chaz17.
CeliOnce, have you considered that maybe he prefers the styling of the IV as compared to other evo models? These models did not come to the US and it's rare that you see one around. Those that you do see here have been hand-made just like the OP is doing. Let him be and keep looking at this thread for your entertainment. You'll like what you see.

Let's see.... Spend months on an awesome project where you transform a rather average and ugly grocery getting fwd grandma car into one of the most bad *** 4 cyl turbo cars on the planet. Which was never even available in the states because we suck
Or
Buy the same damn thing that has been available for 6 years and that the majority of this forum owns. It's a badass car but compared to building its older brother yourself?
I'll take what's behind door #1 thanks
OP we need updates. Updates with tons of pictures

Haven't made much progress on it this past week as I was out in Vegas and then have been fairly busy at work trying to play catch up. I should get a good amount done this weekend if all goes as planned and will post up some pics and updates early next week at the latest.

Updates!
Sorry for the extreme delay in updates on this but things have been crazy at work recently. With that said here are some new pics.
I picked up some Evo Front and Rear Seats
Swapped out the Mirage master cylinder with the one for the Evo 4
Swapped out the Mirage tierods (top) with the Evo 4 tierods (bottom).
Picked up a set of Evo 4 OZ F1 wheels
Just got the car back from paint
Here is a side by side of my Nismo 350z and Evo 4 (minus the drive train)
Next I will be finishing up the interior so I can drive it and get some great gas mileage while I work on rebuilding the Evo motor and sourcing a rear floor pan to complete the drivetrain swap.

it would be cool if someone made a thread with all the necessary parts to make a mirage awd and 4g63 powered, even better would be a DIY kit with the clip and rear floor pan lol
also do any 96-01 mirages come 5spd and with power locks/windows?
