Mirage Update. It started.

Posted 08-12-2010 at 09:06 PM by wibblersnatch

It's been a while since I updated this but I've been busy. This thing still has as a small chance of making it to the Shootout, it just needs a passenger axle.

89 Mirage, some more clean up and weight reduction.

Posted 06-22-2010 at 07:18 PM by wibblersnatch

Well I got some more clean up done in the engine bay today. Pulled the rack and sway bar too. I think I'm done cleaning the engine bay finally. I am going to go over it with a scuff pad and some primer maybe this weekend. We agreed on just painting the bay black. It will help whats under the hood look uninteresting as it will have a black valve cover, intake manifold, and intercooler pipes. We also...

Hi all, My friends and I found a good deal on a Mirage turbo that we just couldn't pass up. It has some fire damage but nothing too serious, just some wires, a fender, and a hood. I've got a lot to learn about these things, like getting the dash out lol. There must be some hidden bolts somewhere. There are some pretty big plans for the car but as of now we are putting a 4G63 in it so we can drive...

Zombie Talon.....again

Posted 05-04-2010 at 02:34 PM by wibblersnatch

Well about a month ago the car got backed into and after insurance looked at it they decided to total it out. It already had a salvage title so I was just going to find another shell. I happened to find one and it looked pretty good from the pictures I saw. Well I gear up and drive 361 miles to get to this thing, to find a piece of junk thats honestly worse off than mine. So it really wasn't a good...

My 1G Mild Restoration/Build

Posted 09-30-2008 at 09:59 PM by wibblersnatch

Well I recently started a build on my 90 Tsi. It was originally just going to be a motor build, big turbo blah blah blah. Well I decided to pretty much attempt a restoration since I have a place to keep it. I plan on having the car being street-able with full interior and moderate weight reduction. I also am planning clean up the wiring harness by getting rid of unnecessary plug ins and their wires,...
