Mitsubishi Purist, Don't Look, Off Topic
I haven't worked on my Prostreet since May of 06 but today I put a few parts on and took a few pictures. My buddy I build cars with is moving so I had to get my stuff out of his shop where we worked on his and my cars so I needed to make some room in my garage so I put a few parts on; seats, rear trunk lid, rear spoiler and front nose pieces. It looks good and I wish I had more time to work on it. My 25th wedding anniversary is coming up so all my spare money is not going toward a cruise. She deserves it putting up with me all these years. But, here is a picture with a few more parts on... and the tires are 18.5" wide with 15x15 rims. But for the Mitsubishi purists, I may put new carpet in the '97 Eclipse GS-T tomorrow if I do get some time, changing it from tan to black.

Those are wrinkle wall Mickey Thompson Pro street tires and the rims are Weld Pro Stars.
And if I had some daughters home at the time of the picture shoot I would have put them in front of the car too. My buddy also has a Morrison full frame without steering linkageor rear linkage but set up for a 4 link, and it has a full cage already welded on that was a kit. It has the rear body of what I think is a '92 Camaro already hollowed out, no doors, not trim, no windows, no firewall, no floor, no nothing, but he is offering it to me for 250.00 and I think I'm going to buy it and hang it from my garage ceiling until I get time to work on it in about hopefully 5 years. The frame is probably worth about 1200.00. The good thing; the frame was welded together by Morrison, bad thing; the cage was welded by someone else besides me or my buddy and the welds are so bad I'll probably cut the cage apart, grind the welds and start over. I'm starting to get picking about my welds and for the most part I don't want anyone else doing it. My wife is looking at me as this is another crappy car idea. She is not much of a car person except she likes to drive the turbo Eclipse because of the cool factor.
