Some carbon fiber and kevlar work in progress

 

If you don't mind me asking, around what did this cost, atleast once it becomes the finished product. How many hours have you put into it?

 

Quick update on the carbon/kevlar work

 

A good deal more than just buying an evo 8/9. As far as hours, I couldnt even begin to count. It has been a lot of evenings and weekends over the last couple of years.

 

Working on some interior clean up and removal of the factory sound deadening.



After round one


Pile of factory sound deadening removed mostly with the dry ice method.


Inside getting a good scrub down


First coat of primer


My rear cut will be here on Tuesday so stay tuned for more updates.

 

Ehhhh so jelly! Wish I had a space to start on my floor swap! Hopefully in the next month or so!

 

^this. I too hope to start my swap sometime next month, but I'll be going widebody!

 

Haha us Miragers aren't small time tuners anymore huh?

 

No sir, we're in the big leagues now!

 

since my evo shell is gettin rusty, Im keeping a careful eye out for an amazing condition mirage. I love this work! you have many patience.

 

I'm very impressed with your attention to detail, and quality of work. Even in death, my old Evo IV will live on giving your project the most important part - AWD!

Still needs some more work and then will get a few coats of rust bullet before being welded in.

 

Last one for the day.

 

Cool, your floor looks to be in fairly good shape!

 

Wow! You did a great job cleaning up the floor. How did you like that terrible tar that was on it? I advised the last owner not to get that on his car again....
