Your best bet might to be find a car that was wrecked and pull everything from it. All of the little pieces will nickel-dime you to death and it will take forever.

Is the title clear? If not, it's probably not even worthwhile to do this.

oh man those drip molding's are going to be fun to get! I wonder if you can use regular lancer ones? I have some stock parts as well but what I have that you need will be to much to ship from Iowa. good luck!

im having a hard time finding a wrecked one to pull everything out of. But it isn't a clear titile, I only paid $2700 for it so it didn't really matter to me.

that looks major, and it's def worth te time If you put quality parts and effort into the build. the shell looks very clean. how many miles on the chassis? I started from less than you op, so I'm here to tell you it's very possible but don't give up haha.

my evo didn't even have doors or an interior!! it too me three years and was a theft just like yours and is now one of the fastest/cleanest evos in the city. good luck, this is going to be very rewarding when you finish.

Might be worth buying a complete salvage car and just transferring everything over to the shell one piece at a time. Like try to find a total loss car that was t-boned or rear-ended.

this is your best bet for oem parts. Buying piece by piece will get very expensive and take very long. plus you can always sell what's left over..

That's Legit! Where did you start man, I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do first. Where did you get all your parts? And how long did it take you? The title says 34k, so I'm assuming that's how much the chassis had before it was stolen.

copart.com is a good place to start, tho I am skeptical about the ethics of their bidding system. no doubt they have the best selection as far as totalled cars..

IAAI and Copart are the choices, you might need an agent to bid for you, but it's cheaper in the long run.

Take your time with this, don't buy the first pile that comes by. Buy a parts car that you would have glad to own had it not been crashed, after all most of it would be going into your car.
