i have a close call similar like this.
in aug 2010. im looking for a car replacement to replace my "masuk banjir" wira 4g93 and due to loan finished.
i got a neighbour who convert his 05 cedia like this to an evo 7 body ( but still remain 1.6 cvt ).
he spend i think the same amount close to 10k to do his bodywork, halfcut sourcing for front bodypart, all 4 doors, and fiber here and there to make it look widebody plus the rear tail lamp and rear wing bought from kedai abang.
the not so best part is that he spray it with green color. :2in1:
he wanted to change his car for a lancer GT and i try to cucuk him to sell his car to me around 55K as he open up the price at 53K. i was so syok and sells my Wira, try to arrange a loan deal and everything was ready for this..
sadly he decide to sell the car to his brother and i was so sad + furious about this. after this case i less talking to him ( merajuk ) try to keep a distance.. and end of year i got married. move out from the neighbourhood. get at Persona elegance and move on.
now i heard that the lancer convert evo is being neglected by his brother, sells the body part and eventually the car being stripped and i did not heard about it later.
if not.. sure by now i will be driving and evo 7 AUTOMATIC.. hahahah!
