Auction Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 8 - Can This be Restored?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Today I came across this 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (Evo) VIII. This AWD rally machine was involved in a pretty serious front end collision but you can tell by all the mods that this thing made some serious power. Is this worth restoring? Watch the whole video to find out.

That would be a dumb place to put it I imagine its for a tank or something if they even got nos setups like that just from building cars I don't see that being a boost gauge

It's an innovate motorsports ethanol content gauge so you can see what gas/ethanol mix you're running. But you pretty much just check it once every time you fill up your tank so it's a good place to put it.

Hi
The glovebox gage hade me dead, I bet he has nos under the passenger seat too 😂
Awesome platform for a all around car. As long as the frame bend isn't between the tower and a pillar you're golden. Can chop the bad out and tube it.

Exactly what I'd do, it's a solid piece of machinery, even after all these yrs I still plenty around where I live
As a valet I got to drive a manual Evo X, and I still remember that heavy ass clutch. Still was fun for the 45 seconds I got to drive it.

As long as I could straighten it I would build it. If not it would be a great donor car .

Has to be one of the last Evo 8s. The evo 9 came in November of 2005 with the biggest change being the grille you see on this Evo.

This one has been on my watch list for over a month. If I end up buying it will be restored. There's also another one hit even harder in Portland that I've been keeping an eye on for over 2 months 👀

Definitely woould buy it, even with all the problems it's worth it, I've always been a fan of the evo so for me it's s no brainer and most of the mods have been so there's money saved right there.
Restore in a heartbeat
For a good price yeah that whould be a super cool build
pretty nice piece !
I love EVOOOSSSSSS😍😍😍
I would buy that in a heartbeat, just beacuse i've always dreamed of owning one. The perfect project car to have and work on, and good god would i work on that day in and day out untill it looked factory new.
an absolute beauty
That thing is probably a beast everything under the hood looks high end
Hell yes she is worth saving!
FB market place: !Clean Title! The car:
Miss this particular Evo generation, honestly. I remember tuning the heck outta it and completely "ricing" it in NFS Underground 2!
Restore !! Yesssssss
Hell yea!
aside from the eclipse gsx, this is my favorite Mitsubishi so I'd definitely take it on as a project
Full resto beautiful car
Definitely a car to restore Once done you will have smiles for days
I watch all of ur videos was gonna ask you hvnt you find evo yet it was my dream car n still she iz... Love from india ...
Would definitely restore!
Most definitely would restore!
Some Evos also came as an automatic, so they weren’t all manuals. The only ones that came with an auto option was the Lancer Evo 7, with the GT-A trim, and the Evo 9 and the Evo 10
Ooh that car looks like the one I played at arcades 10 years ago
I’ve always wanted on of these so bad
Just like grand tour!
that is insane find
Ahh for sure I would buy this😍
This just broke my heart

I love evos, 9 is my fave
Definitely restore this evo
Yessss!!
Imagine the previous owner for one of these cars sees your video. That’d be crazy
And yes definitely it's a legendary tuner that can run with hellcats
LOVE IT😍😍🥰🥰
There were tears when this thing crashed for sure. Was a sick car, looks pretty unfixable now tbh.
All of the hell yeses
Depends on how much they want for it lol. Ive seen evos where i live sell more than they r worth
Eva‘s are amazing, and if I ever had the chance to repair one I definitely would, but that is a last resort option, it had to be in at least limping condition
Bruh who gave James may that car?
God I wish I could get just one of these good cars
God I’d love to restore something like that !
"What a draag" 😭😂
I just sent this vid to my dad. This is one of his most favourote cars. He is now sad
Yes!!!
It's a keeper
❤❤❤❤fk yes I would restore it !
That’s my dream car
Love them
This is worth picking up
Heck yeah Imma restore it
That's totally save able. Look at what the frame guys just did for cleetus by saving neighbor making him look like a brand new crown vic after it was totally totaled.
Price and availability of parts could hinder a rebuild on a budget. Getting the smoke smell out would be a nightmare too. Good rebuild for the right person.
Yessss
Yes I would love to own an evo
Most definitely would rebuild that
My dream car The evo. And the integra
In a heart beat
Yes cuz is my dream car
Yes
Definitely
Yessir I would
Yea I would if I got my hands on it
It's sad to see such legendary cars like that
Tbh if you really wanted to pull frames you could bury 7-10 foot poles in the ground slide a chain on the inside of the poles and fill with concrete.You can use it as anchors to the ground and could use a truck to pull the frame
I would go for it for sure evo’s are beauts but i would need to just have too much money in regular old savings to take this getting it driven to my house and then slowly bring it to glory
Fuck yes dude this is a rarety get it for sure
Considering how much work the previous owner put in I doubt it would be an easy fix to get it back together.
if it makes good HP/Torque I'd either cut/straighten/tube the frame or pull the motor and drop it into a good body.
People dream about having A bugatti or a lambo . but damn I would really be happy with an Evo
I would bet it has a built motor, probably 500hp atleast, would be a fun project car
Heck yeah looks like it doesn't need that much work either.
Crush it
Yes I would
Definitely pretty rough and definitely not very valuable since this heavily modded but on the bright side it's definitely very fun to drive
If the engine and the trans are good then it’s a steal if it’s a good price. You can pull that frame right back into place and reinforce it if need be.
It'd make a nice trac day car
Yeah, these were cool before, now it's uncool but hey I like 'em so. And looking at it, worth repairing it.
Yes I sure thee hell would
