Pearl_SpyderGT's 01 Mitsu Spyder GT
2001 Eclipse Spyder GT
3.0 liter V6 24 Valve SOHC (6G72)
Dove White Pearl
My name is Alex and Joon is my Korean name, and this is my Spyder GT !
I Purchased the car for only $4,500.00 when it should've been $8,000.00 - got that family discount and the car only had 75,000 miles on it ;) Talk about a STEAL ! I used the insurance money I had gotten back from my Ford Explorer XLT, which was totalled by 95 Camery blazing at 50-55 mph into me. Anyways, enough of that talk, happy to be alive. I am the 3rd owner, 1st owner treated the car like shit, my uncle - second owner - He did everything he can to keep it clean, maintained - car is in good condition and as for me . . . I am cleaning the whole mess ! Car is looking fabulous inside and out now bc of me , and my car seems to be a lot happier now, she purrrrrrs like a ligor ! ;)
So far been doing a lot of maintenance work and all of the money I had dumped into the car so far, it should've all went to performance mods but still, I would rather fix everything inside and out before I touch the engine, Engine mods come next spring !
