      Well I drew this up today based on the broken one I had. Problem is I don't have the pin part on the backside, so I'm kinda guessing based on some online photos. I don't have an actual one to base measurements off of. I guess I'll try 3D...

      Thanks! I documented a restoration of another car on different forum and it ended up being 34 pages! ROFL Hopefully when this is done it'll be a pretty thorough guide for anyone looking to restore a VR4.

      Pushed the car outside. Now, that everything is taped off we wanted to give the engine bay a good power washing just to get any grime off before we start the painting process. To be honest, this engine bay is one of the least grimy ones I've...

      More updates from this week. Grabbed some rolls of tape and started taping off all the lines in the engine bay.It took some work, but we were also able to remove the sound deadening on the firewall so can get a nice coat of paint behind it...

      I can't believe the seats are rotted like that. I don't think I've ever seen anything like in my life. I guess that what happens when a car is shut up outside for years at a time.If you can find one, there are a bunch of guys who swap EVO...

      Got the car today to my house to start working on it. Started taking seats out of car. Passenger seat is rotted badly. Had to heat all the bolts with my mini inductor. To get them to come free. Rear back seat kept falling apart when I touched it...

      It's coming along, that's for sure.
    • techboy
      Am I correct in assuming this is a heater core/AC drain line? It was disconnected and just hanging here.For context, this at the bottom of the firewall, passenger side, right next to where the charcoal canister sits.

      I actually have a bunch of those ^^^ and thought of that. I might go that route. I'll try drawing and 3D printing them first, if that doesn't work this will be my backup.

      Picking up where we left off this weekend we started by removing the clutch and brake master cylinders and booster.Pulling the cotter pins on these inside the car wasn't as bad as I thought it might be.Takes a little bit of patience to get...

      Worked on the car a couple of nights ago as well. This time we were focused on removing things on the firewall. If you've never noticed before, Mitsu had an obsession with brackets in the 80's & 90s. They would bolt brackets to brackets and...

      Hmmmm ... might have to draw and 3D print them then.

      Anyone know if these clips are available anywhere? You can see the retainer part is broken off on this one. I got about 5 or 6 broken ones.

      We got right to work on Monday night. Started by removing the hood. I immediately wanted to inspect the wiper cowl area. I've seen way too many cars that are completely rotted out in the area and unsavable. So, before we got too deep into the...
