well this is my first time on this site . My name is nick and i live in starlight, pennsylvania. im in 12th grade workin on graduating so i can work and make some money for the car. I don't know much about cars which sucks, but my brothers both had engine swaps and rebuilds with their vehicles and we also have a lift to work on our cars. everything that has been put into this car is listed on my profile. Hopefully i can get a better understanding of cars, tuning, and upgrades.
i got my very first car which is...

1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T ( i love it)

i had bought the car off of a friend who had hit a deer with it =[ but the car was well worth the price!.....now all it needs is some TLC and it should be ready to drive. Any questions, just ask.
Here are some pictures of my car.

man accident looks rough any frame damage with that from that first pic it kinda looks like it good luck with it though man

no there is no frame damage, only the hood and the fender that you can see in the picture. it's pretty weird because the deer didn't hit the front bumper so that wasn't damaged. thanks!

niiicceee cars in the back!!

hahah thanks man, both of those cars are my dads... the maroon is a 1968 oldsmobile cutlass and the turqiuois car is his 1968 firebird that he is restoring, he had just painted it himself not too long ago... it's really nice to have a dad who can paint and work on cars himself so we don't have to spend so much money doing it elsewhere... he had also painted my brothers mitsubishi galant last year because an ambulence hit him (pretty funny ).

Sorry hear about the accident. And I wish I had my own lift . Good luck with the build up!

i'm jealous. you got some nice cars and a freakin' lift to boot. I wish i had one of those

welcome to dsmtuners, i wish i had a lift

nice car. I bought a 99 deville that hit a deer. I replaced the windshield, airbags, hood, fender , headlights and the grill but the front bumper was fine . But the engine and tran were in great shape so it was worth it. How does your eclipse run and drive? I would think the engine and tran are fine. Is it auto or 5spd?

Great looking project! Take your time and do everything right the first time. Like the old saying goes, you get what you pay for! . Its too bad you guys dont live over here, I would bring my Dodge Dart 360 over to your dad for paint!

dude, as long as you have somewhere to work on your car, in which u do... you can learn the rest..
