I liked it but hated it... looked cool as a two door but at the same time kind of weird since it looked squished.

Props to this guy, I'm sure the two of us can both appreciate the amount of hard work, dedication, labor and money that all go hand in hand with such a crazy project.
thanks for the support, i was on another site everyone just sayin do an evo 4 convert, or i would be better off with buying an evo 8!!!

peoople dont read much, i had/have an vlll it got totaled....

It's interesting and unique... but I would never spend that much cash on a 10 year old car to convert it to a newer style... But it is kinda cool.

reason for customizing

hea the easy thing to do would be buy a chassi for the Vlll, but that is easy, any one can do that, the whole idea behind custom cars is that there one of a kind, to make it your own, to be as orignal as you can go crazy, to own something different. you cant buy that you have to build it.
so build it i did..
now as for the 10 year old bit, the car is a 2000 mirage, stripped of everything except the head liner, thats the only stock peice on the car. this car has been sand blasted and rino lined all under neath, there is no rust on this car at all. now the the rear suspension is of the Vlll and so is the front suspension, including all bushings and bearings, wishbones absoloutly everythig this makes this car new again, none of this stuff is worn or messed up its given this mirage a whole new lease on life, and i have done the majority of the work myself in 5 weeks with the exceptions of the brackets for the seats and brackets for the dash bord, the bodywork the paint and graphics my fiance is doing or done already.

any way say what you like but at the end of the day i will have the most customized mirage to date.
cash, time, effort is what it took and it will be well worth it...
look out for it in the mags
