Hi there name mike pick a 1992 colt vista awd that I going to build with the help of my buddy
My plans are Im going to swap in the whole running gear from a 1g talon as when I got the car it a shell
here some capry pics of the car
Image
Image
Image
The van itself need some body work aka cut the rockers out put new metal in and the rear wheel arces too
but the rest is not that bad shape for a 22 year old car from canada also it came with rust free front rvr fenders too.
At this point the van was missing a lot of parts so I picked up a 92 talon striped for all the parts I need
Image
Image
Image
Image
Now I have garage full of parts :supz:
Imageso my plans are to get the car running first then boddy work
If i have time some time this or next week Ill be taking out the rear sub frame to clean and paint and see if I can swap over the 5 bolt rear disk and install the 3 bolt lsd rear diff and and any info would be nice to know I know it close to a dsm 2g drum to disk but not 100% thanks for looking

Neat project! I love all of the effort to get JDM parts into it; will you be keeping it left hand drive, or swapping it to right?

Nice progress! Keep up the good work.

The van's color matches my car's. Where are you located?

What information can you provide with regards to that switch-able tranny? I picked one up a few years back but it had no 4th gear although it worked fine in fwd mode.

thanks It going to be lhd drive.To be honest to get the jdm parts are pretty easy here in canada I found most of my jdm parts a junk yard in london ontario.also yahoo.jp is good for parts too .Here was the add for the car before it was hit http://www.jdmbuysell.com/ads/1991-mits ... agon-n23w/ and there are two n23w rvr in toronto that I have seen one was diesel.Only other thing I want to find is the rvr hood but planing on getting a us expo lrv one if i can find it for a good price and big wind visors
