Project : LANCER
In December 2002 I purchased this 1995 Mitsubishi
Lancer in the condition shown. I decided that if I was to repair it why not modify it at
the same time. The Lancer GL was our choice for the project car that would appear in our
production. To see the build up un fold before your eyes you'll have to check out our
Video "ULTIMATE IMPORTS". But just to show you the basics of the build up we
have included images taken at various stages. Note: This page is frequently up dated so be
sure to visit soon to see what has been happening.
Below are some images of the car about 3 months
after I purchased it. Note the different coloured panels are replacing the older damaged
panels.
The next stage was to get our hands on some aftermarket goods to
enhance the look of the car and get it to look the way we had intended it to. We also
purchased a sony Xplod headunit to start the sound system. Only very minor interior mods
were made.
We purchased an Evolution III front bar and side skirts, 16"
Advantek rims (were later changed for a set of 15" BSA chrome rims), Vented drift
style bonnet scoop, gear knob, custom gear boot, oil pressure and volts VDO gauges and the
Sony WX-4500X double din CD and Cassette deck.
The next step was to have the Evolution III style body kit installed.
Next we installed the drift style bonnet scoop. It involved us
glueing, screwing and then filling in order for us to get the flush smooth look we
required
Next we wanted the car to have a better exhaust note and free a few extra horsepower so
we added a straight through stainless muffler with 4 inch tip.
Finally it was time for our car to be re-sprayed. We coated the car in
Tiger Mica with a Satin black bonnet.
