    nice boxy sir! to me, looks good naman from the outside sir...

    akin lang po, keep it stock and clean lang. get oldschool 13's or 14's rims and nice low profile tires to go with it for that low stance.

    kung gusto mo extra omph! setup ka intake, exhaust, tsaka headers. di dramatic gais mo nyan pero oks na. kung gusto mo talaga speed, evo engine swap ka (i think 4g63t ata yun; not family with mitsu engines kasi).

    A set of 15inch mini-lite wheels would give it the proper look. I think Rota has them so you won't need to buy the original magnesium wheels.

    restoring those side mirrors with japan replacements would keep costs down.

    did you chrome the door handles?... I prefer them black.

    And you can paint the window frames of the doors semi flat black and also the portion of the B-pilar between the windows.

    Slight lowering.

    Do a good mechanical (engine, tranny, brakes, electricals) restoration muna. Then do the exterior/interior.

    linis ng box mo a. danda. konting porma lang sa gulong (mags & tyres) saka slight lowering will do.

    16 inch rims are a headache when used daily because of all the potholes and humps. 15inch wheels would be a better choice if matched with 195/15/55 series tires.

    Yup, the car looks good naman from the outside. Invest muna in reliability so that you can enjoy a trouble free ride (in case there are still mech'l/elec'l fixes needed).

    dont forget yung underchassis mo sir, particularly mga bushings at tie rod end para walang kalampag and smooth yung ride mo.

    best of luck sayo sir! ganda nyan pag napa-gawa mo!
