1989 Dodge Colt GT
So, a few people might remember my '89 Colt GT. I sold it in January 2011 for $2600, Because money was tight. Well, 2.5 years later I happened to stumble on it on craigslist for ALOT cheaper than I sold it for. Apparently, the kid who bought it took the engine out in plans of doing a 4g63 swap, just weeks after buying it from me. Luckily it sat in the garage, unfortunately he broke alot of things in those few weeks. And drilled a hole in the dash for a 2nd boost gauge :confused:
Anyways, He claims the 4g61t that he pulled was in running condition, I however am gonna go through it and do gaskets, water pump, oil pump, t-belt, new oil pan and check it over. My goals/Plan: -Clean engine bay, wire tuck, paint engine bay -Do basic engine bolt ons. (EVOIII16g, FP exhaust mani, already have 450cc inj's and 2.5" exhaust) -electric exhaust cutout with side exit out of lower fender -Get engine back in -Bend up a patch panel to fix rust by wheel well (I'm a sheet metal worker, should be easy) -Shave antenna hole on fender -Buy brand new glass headlights (he cracked the drivers side glass) -New windshield -Tinted windows -I ordered an OEM dash, apparently they still exist from mitsu.. -Paint car red. Like a Porsche/Ducati red. -Some nice racing seats that are comfy (sparco, recaro, corbeau) Hopefully with an 80's looking fabric that will somewhat match my seats. He gave me a new aluminum intercooler, ebay-ish but welds look good. Also a new OEM radiator. I really regretted selling this the first time, so as long as money flows like it is now, I won't have a reason to sell it. Here's a few pics and mods from when I sold it. Most are still intact. Heres the specs: 1989 Dodge Colt GT (only 1500 GT models rumored to have been made) 127,000 Miles 5-speed Manual (KM210 Transmission) FWD 1.6 Liter Turbocharged Mitsubishi Engine (4g61) **Came stock** Still has cruise system, EGR, A/C, Really It's Mostly Unmolested!!
