From my last update not much I did with Mirage. Still is stock and still give me much fun
. The car is great.
For about 1 month ago I've met son (Bartek) of second owner of my Mirage and this is his history from 1989:
1989 - bought by American,
1990 - bought by Bartek's father in New Jersey on auction,
1991 - Mirage comes to Poland,
1992 - Bartek's father death, turbo charger has been changed,
1992 - 1996 - Bartek's mother uses Mirage,
1996 - sold to Bartek's family friends,
2000 or 2001 - sold to some Hubert (friend of last owner before me),
2005 - sold to Wojtek (my friend),
2012 - sold to me
- about 1 month ago I do fully detailing with polishing of Mirage (pics under),
- about 3 months ago I boiled engine :/. Fan wasn't work good and when I stop in traffic engine boiled. After that I changed cooler (cracked) and fan. Cooler and fan are from Colt CA 1.6 SOHC (it' very similiar
). Engine is good, got some luck I think because head gasket not let go cooler liquid to engine.
Some pics and movies from last update:
1. After fully detailing (we spend on polishing it about 27 hours in 2 days, but effect is cool!):
