About Me
First and foremost I am a Technical/Scientific Illustrator. Here is my online GALLERY for an example of some of my work. I have been airbrushing for a little while now and I have just recently taken up the art of pin striping. I am quite excited to do the paint on this car, but I must wait until I finish all the restorations and complete the engine swap.
Here is a drawing I made of where I would like to go with this vehicle.
The Car at Present
Car History:
Below are some comparison photos of what the car looked like when I bought it and how it looks at present. It was looking pretty sad,but the engine has been taken care of well, it has about 160 psi of compression in all cylinders, and is remarkably clean inside. It only has the F2 N/A 2.2L SOHC 12 valve in her, but I've freed up the intake and exhaust a bit so it is still sufficiently peppy. Currently it has about 321 000 km's on it, but she still doesn't use any oil and aside from some periodic lifter noise, she runs like a charm.
I have acquired a 88'MX6 Turbo, which is my donor car for a lot of projects.
Recent Modifications
I redid the entire interior of the car in Black crushedvelvet. Now it is a mix of black, grey and silver inside the vehicle.

Engine Swap
So my plans for the Fe3 swap have been permanently abandoned, however I am in the process of swapping a F2T into the car instead. Unfortunately I need to find a new tranny or rebuild the one i have. Curse of the fragile roll pin!!!! Contact me if you have any leads on a transmission, please.
