So, where do i begin?
Since i was a teenager the Evo 6 was my dream car. I got the bug from cars since i was very young due to my dad being a car enthusiast and specially a rally fan . The rest is history as they say
I had many cars before and many projects (I´m a Mx-5 Turbo guy for many years) but never got the chance to buy the Evo. But in 2018 I had the opportunity .
Regarding my Evo 6, I bought it in May 2018 in desperate need off tlc . The paint was a mess, the body rough and mechanically it needed a big service since the car stood still for about 3 years.
The day I bought it .:blah:
After the purchase I sent the car immediately to a friend of mine for a full strip down. Bonnet, doors, trunk, glass, everything was removed for a proper paint job . While I was there i bought all the trim brand new at the Mitsubishi dealership. That was painful to my wallet, but in the end the result makes up for it. :thumbup:
On the way home from the Paint shop .
And finally at home.
Not that I got the car my plan was to strip the interior to clean everything and install the new interior that I have bought. My car had the interior trimmed in leather and I hated it. So I bought a interior from a Evo VII RS2.
Meanwhile the parts were starting to arrive
And I could not help myself and bought a HKS Silent Hi-power catback
But I could not get distracted. So let´s start striping the interior down for cleaning purposes!
Dad helping me as always :smthumbup
filthy :crackup:
Many many hours of scrubbing after ! :thumbup:
In the meantime I removed with a help of a friend the old alarm installation.
And finally started reassembling the interior
Since I was waiting for parts for the interior I decided to attack the engine bay
First I decided to check the inner front sills
All good!
Then I decided to wire down to bare metal the front crossmember and hit it wit por15 .
New radiator arrived
Fitted
New radiator hoses
New radiator cap
New radiator supports
Radiator Brackets
Thermostat
Also arrived :
M2 Decat (Not a big fan of the quality tbh)
Walbro Fuel pump
Then, a few days to install everything .
To be continued
