Markey, please put a location in your profile, we all have to as part of the site rules.

That notwithstanding, drop springs are available from King/Swift likely out of AUS/NZ or BG like I have. Likely no listing from H&R but they did make some. CA/CB Lancer or Mirage/Cyborg 1987 to 1991 overseas, 94 for Europe, 92 for North America. Ball park on those years of model end. 2WD and C50/60/70 models, I believe the C80's were the 4WD C50 hatches.

For a split-second I panicked and thought you put that awful pin-striping on my old car. Phewww!

Unsure at this time. New sedan is an auto, so I will need the 5spd swap stuff along with the equal-length axle shaft. This car will also be getting the front bumper/lip, drivers fender, and headlights.

I went to the junkyard today to look for a plug for my Evo radio, and hopefully a CSM to get parts from. No CSM in the 2 yards I visited, but I did score a legit radio pocket with a folding door. I have never seen one of these before. It is spring loaded and bolted right into the factory location. My car had a single din radio surround, so I had to dig out my double din from the garage. Its a little scratched so I am on the hunt for a mint one, but it will do for now.

Here is a little better pic of the car in the sunlight. I need all this snow to melt so I can get some good ones and actually give the car a bath.

And a close up of the uber-sweet factory b-pillar decal.

Scored a sweet NOS badge from an overseas Galant to put in my grille. The grill is from a '92 Mirage, and just needs some new black paint on the fins. The badge was a little pricey, but despite that I still didn't expect it to be packaged so lavishly lol.

What do we have here?

Super excited to get these on. I'll probably have to fork over some of my pennies and get a few things painted this summer because I'm not all about that WRX look.

Congrats on picking up another rare car. I actually like the goofy stripes on the side, it reminds me of the 80's :lol: . You should looking into getting that oem bodykit with the door moldings from the guy parting out the 3 cars in the FS section.

I like the stripes too! Super 80's for sure. As far as bodykit goes, I am partial to the OEM turbo lip and skirts more than anything else. I like the understated look and the slimming lines it gives rather than the "Look at me!" bulkiness of the cyborg/galant vr-4 style stuff.

That grille is fugly. You should be using a factory Colt grille like any other self-respecting CSM owner.

Nice box of goodies!

Mitsu knows how to write instructions. :)
