- Background
- Bought from someone who had spent a lot of money on it, but wanted a new car. Their work included a new engine and turbo, and many other replacement parts.It was fairly rusty, sitting at a Mitsubishi dealer who had done most of the work and clearly didn't really know what they were doing. The car did not start as the starter would just spin. The culprit is most likely a FWD turbo flywheel in a GSX. While it was sitting, someone smashed the window and stole the stereo. After I got it home, by pull starting it in the street, it sat for quite some time and got unfortunately moldy on the inside. I am now attempting to restore the car to its former glory, and documenting my progress on my YouTube channel, 802 Garage.
