Mitsubishi

3000GT

Pearl White

VR4

I purchased it from a retired man in Naples Florida with 47K miles on it (the car, not the man). He bought the car new in 1992 and stored it in his Naples summer home.
When I bought the car it was silver and dead stock.
I purchased a secondary 1994 glass roof car I was going to use as my donor.
I work with the shop that does all the buying, building, modifications and paint to all the cars from the "Fast And The Furious" movies. These guys are the best of the best at their craft.
So I put my 92' and 94' 3000's in their hands and walked away.
1 year later the transformation was complete.

Dead stock as far as power goes.
This is used as a coastal cruiser and not a race car.
I replaced the stock lifters to the 99' lifters, so there's no more 1gen lifter tick.

-3SX Short Throw Shifter.

-New leather interior. Full leather surfaces, front and back of seats.

-Front surfaces are the natural brown hide from the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The rest is black with contrasting white stitching.

-Matching brown and black suede headliner.

-Removed the carpet from the door panels and replaced it with the brown leather.

-Dash pieces finished in a piano black

-Orange lite rear view mirror from Nissan with homelink and compass.

-Took the glass roof off the 94' and graphed it onto the 92'.

-Changed out the headlight buckets and radiator support for the 2nd gen conversion.

-Painted the car BMW's Brilliant White. This was not a sand and spray job, but a true color change.
Every single door, piece of glass, body panel, fender, hatch, hood, lights, weather strips and so on was removed and painted off the car. Even the Active Aero rear spoiler was taken apart and painted in two separate pieces.
The body panels were positioned off the car in the same direction they'll be when placed back on the car to make sure the pearl coat lays the same at every angle.
It's a true 9 stage paint job that looks 100% factory from every angle.

Nothing to crazy, just a clean sound.

I did not want a large drop, just something simple.
