my speciality is mitsubishi and my favourite is the GTO. i am now on my 4th which is a '94 twinturbo i bought from blackpool for not much, it had some minor damage and a disintegrated clutch.

all door shuts and boot shut is painted. the only thing left to paint is the engine bay which i will probably do black maybe with gold holographic flake or crushed gold leaf in the clear. this is to match what i have done to the engine..

I was so happy when I did that, re building, re spraying to the standard that no one could tell.

That was a good part of my life

lancer's are mitsu's best selling sports saloon...their only sports saloon but very tunable and quick ;)

the GTO is a 2997cc V6 24V powerhouse the twinturbo's produce 300bhp standrd with a list of goodies that i like to remove to make them stable round bends lol.

The lancers weren't far behind them, Tho must say looks a nice job on the GTO, and a real glutton for punishment
