One thing I didn't consider for my birth year dream car was the second generation Mitsubishi Lancer, locally known as the Box Type. I honestly didn't realize it was that look that early.
My dad was able to drive one or two different Box Types when they were assigned to him as company cars, but that was late 80s or early 90s already. So I always thought that that model was a relatively newer model. How was I to know it was from 1979 to 1987? Plus the fact that the Box Type is a classic and I do like it.
Of course, I would rather restomod it than just restoring it. If I could swap a more modern, fuel efficient, and more environment friendly engine I would do just that. Maybe even a transmission swap as well so I don't have to drive stick. Of course upgrading the speakers as well as the head unit to a more modern, Android Auto ready head unit is also up there.
Of course a more powerful air-conditioning system should also be up there in the restomod section to survive the brutal summers here in the Philippines.
Out.
