Auto, 63k miles, busted Trans, missing the ECU, gauge bezel, and 2 wheels, and came with a clean title. Not too bad for $300. I think I know exactly what it needs.

 I will get some decent pictures of it tomorrow. The left rear brake is stuck, so I have to work on it before I can get it off the trailer.

  I'm so stoked about finally having a shell for an AWD conversion. I just have to remind myself that the Mirage gets it's engine installed before I work on this one... |

I can't wait to have five colts lined up in my driveway, of each factory color! Nice score, and good luck with your swap. (looks out his window and sighs)

Well guys, as we all know plans change... luckily for me it was pre start of the project. I have recently given my brother my daily driver colt, due to a bad divorce, and it will help him keep miles off his dually. Anyway, this left me with this colt and the option to do something different. I pulled the car into the shop last Saturday and began the disassemble. Current plans are na 2.0 with turbo brakes, seats, and other misc goodies. I figure coupled with a DSM FWD trans, with possibly an AWD 5th gear it should make for a good mileage daily driver, might be a little fun as well. Here are the before shots, I'll get the after ones up soon.

That was nice of you to help out your brother, man. Also, I think that a NA 2.0 would be a real kick in the pants to drive, in a little colt like that! |

 Had to put a Mirage Grill in it, just so no one get my project confused with 89Mirageman's!

Well I got most of the dash out today along with the brake pedal so i can swap in the 5 speed stuff soon...  I also picked up the heart donor for the project yesterday after work... My friend drove it this thing up to where we were going to load it before i got there... Then 20 minutes later it wouldn't start, acted like the starter crapped out. Guess I should just be happy it ran!
