I've been working with a guy in japan, on importing a few cars I have wanted from japan. I just bought 2 lancer turbos one is a 6/86 white intercooled and the other is an 85 and white as well. I should have pictures soon.

I'm also searching for a nice black ex turbo but I have not had any luck yet.

Gonna be more to come, possibly a dr30 and a honda city turbo 2.

Holy cow, that's awesome! I wish I was closer...I've always wanted to see a box Lancer in person! Any idea how many/few there are in the US?

There's that mythical one up in Seattle... white as well, lol. (He brings it out to shows, but I just like to think of it as mythical.)

i saw those 2 lancer you bought, they're in good shape.

they looked clean. Been sitting for awhile I will find out soon enough. Neither looked to have stock wheels though. Which I really want.

The stock "aero" wheels are really cool. I think that's going to be the next big trend in "m4d oldskool JDM y0" circles - '80s aerodiscs. Even I want a set.

city hunter is a legit legend. A Debonair and two box Lancers in the US? I'm envious and i'm not even a Mitsu guy. :tu:

eh, the debonair is far from legend. I've been looking at it closer and there is a lot of rust. Gonna be interesting to see how much panel making there will be when I am done. I'm not sure the hood is salvageable.

Bad hood... Sharknose that MF'r.

My cars were picked up the other day and washed. Not bad looking. I'm happy, and am currently looking for one more in black or dark grey. with stock wheels.

The first is a complete runner, the second needs some interior put back together and possibly a rebuild on the engine, I am not sure. It also has one small dent on the rear quarter and a push in the bumper which I can just pop back out. It looks like the first has a staggered set of hayashi's.

Apparently we can no longer post a picture of medium size. wtf no 1024? even me with a 17inch crt can easily view one of that size. so I just posted links.
O'm nto sure if this is stock matching recaro seats....

second car has one recaro. I think the stock one may be in the trunk from the picture I saw.

Are you planning on keeping both? Possibly selling one to your long-lost pal from Cleveland?

Seriously, though, both cars look great. Can't wait to see what you do with them.
