Three years ago..... who wants a car like this?
This piece of metal junk was found by one of the LSSOC club member three years ago. Nothing he could say about this machine but to rescue and give him a new life. The first
thing he did was to restore on the outside so the feeling to 'bikin' later will be there and he could continue slowly and surely. Kalau nak tengok pun tak mau then may be hangat2 taik ayam je la gamaknya nanti. So, Syukri took initiative to restore its exterior at his friend's workshop. They teamed up and finally the bodywork finished and ready to take place.
Syukri then did the body spray himself. Red hot colour was painted with an air brush impression on the engine hood. The transformation is taking into place. Bersabar.... he has to wait three years to complete its restoration.
First stage complete!
The colour was next changed to orange.
The rescue wouldn't be complete without a new mean heart. Syukri has decided to transplant RB 26 engine to replace the original one. One disadvantage about Mitsubishi is that they don't have good choices of RWD engine. One has to rojak the gearbox and engine if really wants to maintain
Mitsubishi originality.
Second stage: New powerful heart
When the second stage completed, this car was ready to drift act give some action. Gempag gila! Then it was featured in the Putera Racing megazine. Nevertheless it's not end there. The restoration continues....
Next stage was to restore the interior again. Syukri decided to replace the upholdstries and to sedondon the look.
Next step.... get all yellow-wrapped including the dashboard!
So, what do you think?
