    Very nice. I've never seen a RHD Mirage state side before!

    Welcome to the boards and enjoy your stay here! I'll be sending you info via PM soon.
    I go to the gym so I can look good naked.

      yup, yup welcome to the boards man

      your ride reminds me of our mirage who did the bronze/ copper paintjob and had the white TE-37s...do u remember that car? heheh...he had a white engine bay as well

      Anyways dude, looks like a crazy project u've got there.. Very custom. Hope to see you and your ride around soon!

          It looks like a nice build. I really hope you fixed that intercooler at the front.

            ahah i belive it is your car haha
            yup it is i transformed it.

            but for real it is the same car. the body is so clean on teh molding door handles and wide archies and side skirts to fender mold.

            i picked up the shell alone. bare frame

            thanks

            i should be updating in a week or 2 with pics of how it looks now

                  hahah niice yeah i thought that the color and engine bay looked familiar lol! but since u got rid of the stock dash/ gauges from the white/ automatic one - i couldnt' recognize it from the cockpit view. Glad you picked it up and hey if u show with us, then you're 'keepin it in the family' lol can't wait to see the updated pix and show Paul Leung (the guy in hybrid who owned it) what he had dreamed for the car

                    yeah the engine bay i painted black then i droped teh engine again and painted it pepper white its the same paint code as the new mini coppers its a white with a gray tint off white.

                    same color as im painting the hole car in a week or 2 hopefully.


                    yeah thats a evo 6 gauges cluster, but im in the middle of wireing up these evo 9 gauge cluster that i have at the moment.

                    i hope to rep haha yes keep it in the fam ..............word i had to give it a make over
