Installed the gates timing kit with water pump, resealed the entire front of the engine, and swapped all the accesory belts, and changed the motor mounts (OE replacement). As for the brakes...just kept the old StopTech BBK from a decade ago and installed new slotted rotors from RRE. Replaced the entire stock rear brake assembly (OE from rockauto with Mitsubishi fluid from STM) and this took some readjusting of the parking brake which I still haven't nailed down perfectly. Now that the car runs well and stops well, its drivetrain maintenance time. Just ordered the fluids/hardware for a full tranny/diff fluid change. The maintenance never stops! Uploading more pictures soon.
 
Got some work done on these brakes... they've seen better days. Still waiting on Hawk HPS pads to come in. Constant work in progress!

Looks good! Much better than before.

If you don't mind me asking, where'd you get it painted? I've been searching for a good local paint shop for a while but they all have horrible reviews.

Thanks! I ordered the 3g badge for it as well just to see if i like it. I got it painted by a guy named Larry in Jacksonville, AL. Hes retired and just bored wanting to pick up "small little projects like this one". Claims to have about 40 years of body shop/ paint experience and charged me $500 for the labor (zero body work) and $625 for the paint from Mitsubishi. Obviously its just a tape up job, but all of my door jams, engine bay, and rear hatch insides were in no need of paint so it all matched perfectly. I even got him to paint my fog light bezels. Only had my car for about 5 days. Once i get a good compound and buff it, she will shine!
