Mitch's Mustang Merkin' Machine (V4 STi)
Howdie Nasioc,
This is the build thread for my Type RA-V Swapped GC8. Here it is as it sits now. I purchased the car in Late July of 2012 when my bugeye met an unfortunate end with a ditch and a rock on the inside of a hairpin turn. Needless to say, I was pretty heart broken. Couldnt cruise, couldnt work in the garage, I was missing part of me. Anyway, it wasnt a hard decision to make. The day I recieved my money form insurance, I sent it over to HeyChris from rs25 and the car was mine. However, the motor spun a bearing in mid october 2012 and the project began. Heres my story.

When my built 2.5 motor blew, I emptied my savings (seriously EMTIED almost every dollar I owned) and purchased this Type RA-V Limited front clip from Osaka JDM (Dont buy from them, will explain further later in different post).
Anyway, I show up at the warehouse and THIS is my 5500 dollar front clip, on a broken palet, seran wrapped, with copius amounts of damged parts. Last edited by DuctTapeFootage; 06-27-2013 at 06:04 PM. |

I (sadly) sold it to Mitch five years ago...** Trying to see its current form and hope it is still alive.... And not full of cancer. (Original Southern California Vehicle.)
**Was advised by certain parental family members I didn't "Have" to sell it until it had already arrived at his door step. But with minion #2 getting ready to pop out..... |
