My Wicked-White Mitsubishi Evo 8, And it's soon to be transformation.

I purchased this car last week. I found it on the internet and contact the owner (In another state), And told him that I will come that night and purchase the car in cash. After an entire day of trying to convince him I'm not some ''crazy'' person, And that I actually have the cash, I made the drive to meet with him to get the car. I drove the car back home, And drove it around for a few days to get me and my daugther (7-months old), Out during the day time monday-friday, Being we are usually just at home 'hanging out'.

I originally bought the car to just re-sell, Or to part out in pieces. After thinking about it the past day, I am going to strip it within the next week, And do a full ground-up build on the car in my garage.

I plan to build every part of the car, Which is why I am making this thread (To keep track of the progress on the car, And to allow other members to see it's soon to be, Drastic change.

I do not know yet if I'm going to color change the car. I love white, But if I can find a nice color, I'll paint the car while it's apart. I'm hoping to have this car done within the next month, But with no direction or exact plans, I dont know if I can make that happen. I'm just going to strip it, And go from there as to what way the car will be put back together.


The day after I got it. Please excuse it being dirty, 10minutes into my return trip home after buying the car, I hit a massive snow storm the entire way. Unfortunatly I ''snapped'' the hott/cold knob on the hvac system, So I drove over 5hrs straight in a blizzard, With ZERO heat (Not even warm, It was on ice-cold). What a rough drive home. I got home at 3am, So I was not able to get pictures of it till the next morning.



Where is sits now, In my garage:










The car is a one owner car. I bought it off the original owner, Who gave me all the paper work from the day he bought it new from the mitsubishi dealership. For being his DD, The car is actually in great condition, With no dents/dings. The paint is very nice and just needs a good wash.

I hope to show major updates in this thread, Within the next week. As I said, My goal is to fully build this car from the ground up, Within one month from start to finish.

Thanks for looking, And I hope you enjoy!
