Dash harness was cut up.

Didnt MAP do the swap? When the car was there it looked pretty dam good to me.

[TkrPerformance]

I pretty sure they did the swap
all I know the x-brace was cut out so the body was flexing with the top frame out. holes were cut in the car for the gas tank and for the rear end and the gas take holes were welded shut. the metal that was tryed to used as a patch for the rear end was welded very bad and burned through all over the place.
pics I took before Mike picked up the shell



did not take one of the damage on the drivers 1/4 panel. It was bad the body work was bad holes drilled in the sheet metal and pulled out that way and jut filled with bondo. the bondo started at the back of the door and went to the rear bumper and was thick. pretty sure that is why it was totaled out not a for a theft recovery

Did you ever paint your mirage sedan?

[TkrPerformance]

the purple mirage sedan was sold a while ago. the evo 3 is sitting on stands in the garage still all apart

[TkrPerformance]

Worked on it a bit yesterday.
Got the top all done had to put the push clips in and changed the top motors out with mine. Also got the black rear panels in and the back seat back in it. Just have to find black leather rear seat and black seat belts still.

Also got the short shifter in the car

took the dash back out today and put more of the a/c back in. also swapped the dash harness out. got it all back in and the lower grey dash parts are in now.

got the gauges from the other spyder in the car with my speedo. and the apc real carbon fiber gauge over lay

also got the holes drilled in the apiller and the new gauge pod in. Just have to paint it grey. Also put in the auto meter boost,oil gauges and aem wide band

[TkrPerformance]

Just got back home from picking up a turbo back. The down pipe back has 1000 miles on it. The o2 Dump had 10k on it will be selling it I have no use for it. He bought th down pipe back and new rims and tires and blew his engine after putting them on.

[TkrPerformance]

Have had some time sine I cut a huge hunk of meat out of my thumb at work and have been off since sat. Felt ok today after I got home from a check up on the thumb, I got the brackets done and the evo 3 seats put in the car. Also put in the megan exhaust and drive shaft.

[TkrPerformance]

the rest of the grey parts showed up yesterday.

the home link visors will recover them in a darker grey

top panel and a-pillers


also got the carpet just needs a real good cleaning

[TkrPerformance]

Got 1/2 a yard of headliner fabric so I could redo the visors.
1st took the old fabric off the visors


Used a body saw to cut the visors so they could be opened all the way up


Using 3m 74 spray glue for headliners and fabric. Glued 1/2 at a time since I don't have any more clipse to do it all at one time.


The drivers side it done. Used 5min epoxi to glue the visor back together as one piece

[19TsiAwd90]

damn that turned out very nice

[TkrPerformance]

the carpet was all dry today so took the seats back out to put it in and put the rest of the panels in also.



pass side visor all done and painted the mirror darker to match the new color of the visors


started to rain so pushed it back in to the garage. the thing sits low


pic of the front bumper with Brads old fmic in it

[TkrPerformance]

The black door panels showed up this morring. Now its down to a black rear seat and seat belts

[C3L1CA]

Looks good! I liked the pictures of taking apart the visors, I never knew how people did that.

Kinda wish I had that fmic back haha

[TkrPerformance]

Every one I seen just prys the visors apart and they end up braking. Used one from the talon to start with to see the easyest way to take them apart.

[TkrPerformance]

been working on it the last 2 days. Pulled the engine out of the corner. Pulled the valve cover to swap in the FP2 cams and one of the cam cap bolts pulled all the threads with it was not happy since it was the cnc ported head that is now junk and is all taken apart for scrap now. Luck I had one good 2g head that will be going on the engine now since that is what I had laying around.

so today I got the short block,tranny,t.c,and axles,and down pipe in the car


also took the turbo apart to cut out the flapper since I will be running a tial 38 gate

cut the flapper arm off flush and put it back in and welded it back on


all back together out

[TkrPerformance]

back in the garage for the night

[scheides]

Whoah! What's all that stuff in the engine bay?
