Hello, my name is Mark, i live in Rīga in Latvia. I work in the Chiptuning garage and i tune cars for a living, so far ive saved up 17000 euros (equivalent to V$20000) to buy a decent enough project car and a daily. My uncle was kind enough to give me his Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9 and he let me borrow his garage for a few weeks to get to a few parts of latvia just to get the car i want and the garage for car storage till i get the cars over to my place. Anyways here are a few pics of the Evo 9

It's best to use Imgur or Flickr to upload images

That Evo isnt owned by me but my uncle let me use it to get to used car dealers.

Added 24 minutes later:

I decided to go out for a cruise to see what kinds of cars i could find, i found a cheap beauty. A 1995 Ford mustang with a V6 in it.



The dealer told me that the car costs 5500 which in my opinion is ridiculously under-priced but for the power that the V6 puts out is low, so makes sense, the dealer also told me that the previous owner installed some TE37's on the car, I bought the car and got a tow business to tow the car over to my uncle's shop



It is now my project car, after inspecting the car further the engine was poorly built but it ran, poorly to say the least.


Finances:
V$20000-5500(Car)-30(Tow)=V$14470

Sadly even though it was a rolling shell with a few missing parts it cost too much for my budget.

Added 20 minutes later:

Ive driven down to my house, the car felt like a shopping cart but it made it, suspension and tyres are definetly the next thing on the list.

Nice SN95 Dude , But i tell you something , the V6 Mustang is Automatic , You need to search some compatible manual gearbox , and the v6 power isn't so low , the fail is the tranny... , Good Luck!

I dont mind the automatic gearbox but i do need to find it fast but anyways, i drove down to work in the mustang, worked on some cars and while at it i did a bit of weight reduction (Removed the rear seats, passenger seat and both of the badges on the fenders) The parts i removed are now up for sale if you want them. During removal i noticed that the fenders and the hood weren't correctly aligned so in the future im gonna fix that too but as there is an un-used karting track near me im gonna go there to have some fun drifting.

now the images of the car with the basic weight reduction done







Finances:
V$14470+V$300(for the work i did)-V$25(For using Chiptuning's garage and tools for half an hour)
=V$14745

Added 1 hour 5 minutes later:

I drove down to a car parts store and bought some suspension cause it was necessary, i went down to the chiptuning garage and i got a co-worker to install the suspension bits and do the aligning, afterwards i did a rattlecan spray over the rims. I think im ready for my first drift day!




Finances:
V$14745-(1500(for suspension)+200(the cost to get the suspension installed))=V$13045
