Shrine to the car that provided design inspiration for CJ

The similarities are obvious, and therefore lessons can be learnt when looking to mod. Having reviewed the following pics, I am on a mission to find a similar looking exhaust sytem to the matt grey car, going to consider multi spoke rims, look into chrome door handles - and I have always wanted a matt grey car, with gloss decals. (doubt it will ever happen though)

Enjoy, and steel ideas....

What my ideal CJ would look like but with a better front end...

One more angle, these exhausts are awesome...

I think chrome door handles are already a Mistubishi genuine part option.

yes chrome handles are a definate option, i see the similarity between the 2 cars even more so on the arse end.
but the Lancer for me looks the best, it shits on the Alpha, sorry hog'man
i love how it looks like a sharks head when you look at the front of a Lancer side on..
the twin exhausts do look great..

I agree 100%, the Lancer is a much better looking car, but you can't deny it got some of its inspiration from the Alpha. Mitsubishi took a good design and made it better.

As far as I'm concerned the CJ came first but was hidden from us all this time

The Alpha 156 was the first draft, the 159 the second draft, they finally perfected it with the CJ

The Alfa is a damn nice car thats for sure. Italian engineering. I still prefer to believe its modeled off something British, but meh.

Hoggy - if you find those exhausts - tell me.

Its Italian which means it will break as soon as it leaved the dealer.... looks good though
