My buddy recently got into an accident with his evo and we're (I'm) in the process of rebuilding it at work. Long story short the car should have been totaled but my boss has a way with insurance adjusters to keep it under a total loss. Basically we have a $18,000 insurance check to work with, and with myself doing a lot of free labor and my friend helping out, there is a lot of money to play with and mod accordingly. Anyway onto the pictures.

When it got dropped off

After a mild pull on the drivers side frame rail, i drilled the rad support out.

New oem mitsubishi rad support mocked in place and edged

I drilled and cut the quarter panel off since it was more cost effective to just replace it.

I put 2 new fenders on it and one new headlight, here they are for a test fit.

Rad support is now welded in, and just a teaser of one of the "free" parts that were bought.

More updates to come, I just need to remember to bring my camera to work with me.

Awesome this should turn out well, plans?

WolfsFang · 01-22-2011, 11:21 PM

wtf, my friend with a evo got into a crash and got a big pile of money to play with. brb ima get into a crash

jk, gl with the car and go with a 2.2 :P

92awdtsi · 01-22-2011, 11:26 PM

well its not exactly a monster pile of money to play with. I'm helping increase the "play" money by doing free labor on some of the body work/paint time. Like his intercooler for instance, State Farm paid $600 for a stock one, so that ams one cost a few hundred bucks out of pocket. And parts for this car are retarded expensive.. My shop cost on oem mitsubishi parts are good but still outrageous.. like two fenders and a front bumper = $1253.00 That's shop cost not retail. And as for plans, He wants to do a fp red with supporting mods, 272s, different wheels (his are curbed beyond belief) and a few other little doo dads. The FP might not happen but if the funds will allow it'll be sweet. I'm trying to talk him into a wastegate dump, even if its still internal.. just a dump in general sounds nasty.

WolfsFang · 01-22-2011, 11:30 PM

oh i know hoe expensive parts are, a OEM hood is 1k+!

morla · 01-22-2011, 11:44 PM

that first pic made me cry

good luck with the build!

OverBoostedEvo · 01-22-2011, 11:56 PM

U could get oem parts off another evos that are being parted out on evom and save a bunch more money...

morla · 01-23-2011, 12:05 AM

yeah actually let me know if you need oem parts. I have a few

92awdtsi · 01-23-2011, 12:05 AM

he bought a wing, seat belt tensioner, airbags, top part of dash and a few other things off there.

TalonTsi97 · 01-23-2011, 12:55 AM

My buddy has a whole '06 MR SE shell sitting at his house that he has tore down. if anything else is needed feel free to ask and i'll put you in contact with him.

92awdtsi · 01-23-2011, 01:11 AM

ahhhhh good point, I didn't even think that this could be that car because i thought i heard the story of what happened to it after the accident but i'm not going to put it out there just in case it is or isnt the car.

Hey, i'm the owner of the car (on my friends username/account). No this is not the same car. I was there, but I didn't crash.

TalonTsi97,
There are a few more little odds and ends that I need, would you mind giving me the guys number with the '06 MR SE?

ripjeep2002 · 01-24-2011, 03:17 PM

Awesome plans. Might I suggest a Holest HX35 instead of a FP RED? Mad HP/TQ from a setup like that.

An fp red is a stock frame and bolt-on turbo with the potential to produce over 430awhp with the stock cams, head and bottom end...

venom · 01-24-2011, 09:37 PM

i think my friend has some extra evo parts too let me know if you need something and i could ask

92awdtsi · 01-28-2011, 03:27 PM

Got a few updates to post.

I edged/based the fenders

On the car, getting closer to paint time
