Many board members know this car, but only a few knew that I was the new owner. I bought my silver Mirage from our very own CaptainTonus about 8 or 9 months ago and quietly kept my mouth shut. I used to own a pretty potent 16g-powered original turbo Colt, but had to part it cause the chassis was beyond saving. I always wanted another. Just before I bought this I had a pretty neat '92 Mirage sedan with all the bells and whistles, but when Tony told me his car was up for sale I dropped that project like a bad habit. I knew this car was rust-free and well taken care of so I had him pull the FS ad until I could come up with the money. I ended up having the car shipping from Cali to MI, where it sat for the remainder of winter tucked away in the garage. Fast forward a few months and I drove it at least once or twice a week all summer through the nice weather. Fast forward a little more and its now tucked away again in my new garage awaiting a little bit of an overhaul and some new goodies.
A lot of little things need to be addressed, but for now I'll just throw up some pics that I have taken over my short ownership.
Fav camera phone pic of my old Colt.
Fresh off the truck and at the rent's place for the winter.
Happily in the driveway of my old place.
At a local car meet. 3 hours each way with no hiccups.
Poor driver's door. My silly GF backed into it at 3am cause she neglected to look behind her.
Following my buddy and my old sedan to its new home at his place. He is doing a 16g setup that should be pretty fun.
The car in its new home for this winter. The garage is a lot more packed now haha.
With my other toy.
A few parts I have lying around.
Current state of the car.
Teaser of the new wheel setup.
Hopefully I can update fairly regularly, but I go as funds allow. Should be pulling the motor and cleaning the bay before snow falls though!
