Sorry the pics are not in order il work on tjta today. Well as to can see every thing has been mocked up except the acd the center console and the gas tank, when I get it back from sand blasting that will be next, along with the rear floor pan for the spare tire, I'm going to also spot weld the chassi in more places to renfotce it better. Also need some cross bracing behind the rear seats for added support, I think I'll build a roll cage for it.

Looking good, I personally don't know about the how evo 8/9 front end on it and the dash, but it would be a very neat custom. Something I would dare never try. It most, I would have done an mirage 4 door front end. Good luck.

Question

Thanks bro, it's great to have people keepin ya motivated and on point, I have so many ideas fir the car I can't wait for every one to see it finished, she will no doubtly be a show winner. This is a total one of a kind, I can't even tell you how much fabricating had to be done so far, the body is really going to complement the interior and the awd. No one has eve seen what I'm about to do/ doing. This will be truely a one of a kind 2dr evo, people are not going to know what this car is. Eapecilly when I blow by them putting 300+ horses into four smoking tires.
