Interesting enough. It had a factory cruise control that was installed by chrysler. The quality of the componets definately showed chryslers 80s crappy ass quality. I could make better brackets than they had made. I still have the entire setup if anyone wants it.
Stripped out the nastiness
Sure sucks working in a small apartment garage.
In with the broke in rebuilt turbo shortblock I put together for a starion I owned a year back. 11:30pm The neighbors love me.
Turbo door handle mod from a usdm starion. Needs a little cutting and welding, but should work great.
Trans in and mounted with some angle iron I had laying around. Bolt in driveshaft with teh front half of a 2 piece l200 driveshaft. Temporaryt ransmission until I get a hold of a 88 starion trans. This old 87 trans is worn out pretty bad, so I didnt bother cleaning it.
The floor has been disinfected and cleaned with vinegar and water, plus a second chemical. I also disassembled the entire heater vent system and cleaned everything.
Finished cleaning the engine bay and running the usdm starion harness. Mitsubishi was nice enough to leave the wiring harness holes in for the carbureted cars. Beer and a lot of long nites being single helped me get most of this done within a month.
Clutch Pedal installed.
Cutting done for the oil cooler and intercooler. Not mounted but hooked up.
Here is a pic as of now. I stole the radiator and plug wires off it for the lb lancer for the time being..
Working on the side dump 3inch exhaust. This thing sounds great with just a small resonator and this 3inch side dump. I still have to finish making hangers and cutting down the tip.
Lowered the back a bit.
Installed my aus tails
Dash and side panels painted black. Starion carpet installed. Isnt long enough for the back, but better than nothing. 1988 starion cloth seats. THey faded to blue, use to be black checkered.
How it's riding now.
How it sits as of now. In need of a ring and pinion. Someone forgot to put oil in hsi sopare diff when he swapped it in >_<
Plans for the near future are getting some suspension work done. Starion brake upgrade. I am not sinking too much money into this as the chassis condition is so so. Has some bubbling rust. Shiny but not a great paint job. I think it will become a bit of a bozo car. I plan on running a multi pipe sidedump and running them up along the side of the car and back. Some crazy front spoiler maybe. I'm waiting for a factory rear spoiler from rxcorp. Remove the window louvers completely. Who knows what elese. Soem new wheels down the road.
