Brandon Smith once owned an Evo 8, but when he sold it, he wasn't quite ready to leave the Evo family. In 2014, he picked up the 2012 Mitsubishi Evolution you see here, and got to work. After a set-back and a blown motor on an E85 build, he decided to hold off on the engine work for a little while and focus on the car's aesthetics.
