Some of my DSM's ETC. Before and After.

[EklipzGSXkid]

I figured I would start a new gallery thread of mine, With some more of my cars that I've done. As some know, I've had over 200 turbo dsm's already, But I will start posting a few in this thread. I know in the mitsubishi owner thread I posted single pictures of about 100 of them.

I buy them either blown up, Or needing body work. I have the garage, Knowledge, Every day free, And parts to do what ever I decide to do with them.

Most take me anywhere from 2-days, To a week or two, To complete from start to finish as long as I know exactly what I want to do at the time (Which is rare). I usually just do what ever to them, As I go. I do all the work by myself.

Enjoy some pics!

Before: (95' GSX. Sat for 3+ years in a yard, Sinking into the ground). This car needed an engine, turbo, body work, paint, And a bunch of small misc stuff.

I did a new longblock, turbo, exhaust, mbc, paint, 18" wheels/tires, 99' body conversion, And a new grey leather interior along with a cd player, some gauges, and a few misc things like fmic kit, semi wire-tuck, new tint, lowered, stock tails ETC







After:









a vis evo style c/f hood that I got but did not like on the car.



This is a 95' GSX that I bought non-running, And needing body work. This car got a built motor, A 20g, And EVERY supporting mod out there. I did a new trans, new drivetrain, new paint, 99' conversion, a bunch of monitoring gauges, laptop/dsmlink/fuel system, exhaust, coil overs, wheels/tires, A semi wire-tuck, New interior, ETC.

Loving that Blue GSX, you must have a REALLY good job to dump that kind of cash into a car in a week or two

-Thank you very much Jim.

[jesse096]

Had an accident over the Orange Talon...

-Jesse

[EklipzGSXkid]

Thanks Jesse, I actually like that color alot. It's a custom color I made and sprayed, And I think I'm going to be doing one of the gsx's up my garage the same color in a few weeks.

I know one thing I am going to be spending most of my time in this thread!! My favorite ones are the blue one and the white one with the rotas.

[jesse096]

Same here! So do you just build them and sell them to make money? Good way to keep some of those DSMs out of the junkyard and crusher!

-Jesse

[EklipzGSXkid]

I buy them, build them, then eventually sell them. I don't make a ton of money off them being I usually sell them for $5000-6000 when fully completed. Most shops charge 3k+ for a good color change paint job alone! It's just something I like doing really, And you gain a ton of knowledge doing it! If someone else were to build a similar car to any of them though, They would be spending around $10k or close to that in parts alone. I have tons and tons of parts.Basically an unlimited supply. Kind of all makes sense to just use them on something, And keep my occupied every day.

[jesse096]

Damn man, you sell those beautys at 5-6 grand? I may have to hit you up when my dad feels better...
