just got a new winter car 95 mirage coupe

1995 rage 1.8 auto coupe.
the engine needs to be replaced or rebuilt it has rod knock.
needs some body work on the right side some one had macco do it and it is cracked from to much body filler.
needs a new windshield

some things I am thinking of doing
5 lug
2 piston fronts
rear disk set up
evo III master
rebuild or replace engine
5 speed swap (if I can find one in the junkyard)
new front bumper
paint/body work cheap
tint the tails
dsm 16in rims oem

I will paint the other car when I am done working on it not before. But I will be using the same paint on this car to see how it works before I spent the time and money on the evo.

the tranny would have to be a 2g tranny

Sweet! You could just mod it to get ridiculous gas milage!

My front seats in my 1G should be coming out here sooner or later. I'd let you have em fairly cheap if they happen to bolt in there.
