That was on Wednesday and Thursday, the old block has a HUGE hole in it and I bought a fully built block from a guy in Eau Claire that will be installed!!

Still debating on what color to paint the car, I was thinking of a dark blue like the older ford probes!! Fell free to contribute your ideas!!

Then I finally got the EVO X I have been waiting for 3 months on!!

I already have all the parts ordered that I need for it, besides the AC condenser!!
Allot of bolt on stuff and a few man hours of labor on the body work and she should be good to go. Also on this I am looking at doing a 2 tone black/silver paint job, once again any ideas fees free to contribute!!

more info on that evo x! awesome thread man!

[HLM]

The EVO X, it was a friend of mine that owned it since brand new last year and almost 4 months ago he came to a T intersection and lets just say he didnt turn left nor right!!

So we had a rollback bring it to my shop and auto hauler came and picked it up to take it to Milwaukee for gieco insurance could inspect it and determin if it as totaled or what not. Well they didnt spend much time on it there cause the whole underneith was cover in mud from front to back. So they concidered it a totaled out X when really its not bad at all.

So my buddy bought it back from Gieco and had intentions on fixing it but after 3 months of doing nothing with it cause of no money and me offering a good price for it the whole time so he finally sold it to me!!

My intentions are to fix it and drive it for a few years and then probley sell it! The car is practically new still interior is like new and only has 18k miles on it. I love the navigation unit, it shows allot about the oil and engine stuff right on it!!
