http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...609_211546.jpg

Tomorrow going to do the rear end and battery box and a few other things. I am running out of things to do that are free.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Work on it yesterday with my dad he came over to give me a hand. Started to take the rear end apart. It was a huge pain in the ass. When we put the rear end in the car it was all together still so we left it alone. Broke bolts,had to cut out arms from bolts being frozen in the bushings,ect

Cut open the frame rails to reinforce them more. When I had the 2.0 in it i riped the bolts throught the frame rail on the left side. I don't want to deal with it pulling back out with the 2.4
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...610_210703.jpg
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...610_210655.jpg

As the rear end is right now lower arms out,megan toe arms are out also.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...610_210644.jpg

The stock rear lca had to be cut out the camber bolts were froze in the bushings and 1 of the sway bar links had to be cut off as well
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...610_210742.jpg

This realy pissed me off the megan tow arms the bolts were also frozen in the bushings and they have not been in for that long under 2years. Going to bring them to work and make some new bushings for them and a set for the camber arms when I order them.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Thanks chris

Just brought the the hood out side and put it on the car to make sure I have room still. Got over an 1in on the front one and well over 2pm on the back one and the heat shields are right there and are 1/2 from the hood any way

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Nice project dude, i might start my own soon, 98 mirage to evo 6 TME. I found all the parts, just gotta get the car and buy the parts. I have a $15k budget and one month to finish it. Cant wait to start

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

I have not really worked on it to much. I was working on the evo 1 swap pulling it all back apart and putting all the stock mirage panels back on it since I sold it as a rolling shell last week
but any way I did get a few parts sandblasted and painted

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Well it has been a really long time since I worked on the evo. so today I pushed the spyder out side to work in it.

Put the suspention back together,fenders,and rims back in the front. On the rear I got the new plates welded in the car so I dont pull the rear end out of the frame a 2nd time. I got the alum bushings pressed into megan toe arms. Put the ltt alum lower lca's in the car. I still need to get new sway bar link's. The car is now back in the ground from being on jack stands for a year.

Looks like one fun garage!

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming
 

Holly shit someing is going to happen to the Evo. It has been siting for years apart. It is now going back together. Stock 7 bolt bottom end,rebuilt head with Evo 8 valves and springs,fp2 cams, and a mitsu 20g.

The Spyder is going back in to storage since it is giving up its parts for the Evo till I fix the 2.4 for the Spyder.
Engine,fly,clutch,fmic,afpr,fuel pump,SD set up

Had a 95 mirage I was going to fix up. But decided to part/scrap it. Kevin came over and we took off the roof skin and the glass. The skin is send and rust free. This year it will be to get it back on the road then over the winter get the paint ect to be ready when it gets warm to spray it.

Also took off the parts car.
Un rusted trunk
Mint head liner
And a few other spare parts that will go in the the bins of Evo stuff.
