My First Car - 1983 Mitsubishi Mirage \ Mitsubishi Colt 4G63T Engine Swap Sleeper Car

Join me as we check out my first car purchased in the late 90s. This is a 1983 Mitsubishi Mirage also known as a Mitsubishi Colt, with an engine swap 4g63T out of a Mitsubishi Galant VR4, these motors are similar to the 4G63T motors found in the Evo 1 - 3. This is a small sleeper Mirage, sleeper Colt, sleeper car build.

This car build was started in around 2008 then put into storage. In this video we get the car ready for moving to my garage by cleaning the dust off, pumping up the tires and turning the motor over by hand.

The Mitsubishi Mirage \ Colt is the smaller car in the line of the Mitsi era models to the Mitsubishi Lancer Box Type or EX Lancer which is a rear drive 4 door saloon which I would love to build\own a 4G63T version of down the track.
