Mitsu: part 3...

Well, the 3rd edition of my rig is underway.
Because of severe rusting, my current rig needs a body and frame donor. I posted some pics back in Feb of a "new" California Raider that I picked up locally:
...a real beauty, no?
During the past few weeks, I began the transformation...
Then this week Monday 13th, on a spare hoist in a bay at a friends active shop, I began stripping the engine, and removing everything in the front. The shop is active, there are customers around, so I need to dress "professionally"...
Then Tuesday 14th, it was engine out, and fuel tank off, still holding ~15 L of 4 year old gas. The tank's in perfect shape, but I don't need it.
Then today, Wednesday 15th, it was clean up the inside, a de-greasing pressure wash for the engine area and frame and undercarriage. Then some rust paint under the brake mastercyl, grinding off the Mitsu motor mounts, and more rust paint on the exposed frame.
I can prove it was a California car, with "certitude"! Lowered suspension!
Tomorrow will probably be the last driving day for the silver/grey truck, as I need to start moving parts from it soon...
