Overview

Non-running unit that Mike bought online, with various engine bits stowed at the boot. Mike had to source for a replacement block after Marc discovered a snapped conrod that caused a broken engine block. Marc points out a common modification among Lancer Evolution owners, which is relocating the active yaw control pump to the car's boot for added durability. Restored car brought to a modified car meet in Birmingham and sold at asking price. Work Completed: Damaged engine replaced, crankshaft polished to address score marks, active yaw control system replaced, new hydraulic lines and mounting kits installed to accommodate relocated pump, fully adjustable suspensions installed, vinyl wrap applied, original Lancer Evolution VII headlights and badges installed.
