Bought a used Evo 8...what next?

[TheAutoDIYGuyYT]

Hey guys...I'm planning on purchasing a Japanese Imported Evo 8 to use as a donor car for my CS3 4g18 project. I'm planning on converting my local lancer to a 4g63t sleeper (technically).
I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the first things to do are in terms of making sure the engine, tranny, etc. are in a good enough condition to be able to be driven around, and then eventually transferred across.

4wd conversion as well?

[TheAutoDIYGuyYT]

Yep. I'll have to modify the spare tyre location to fit the diff I assume.

I'm in the process of purchasing one atm. So when it lands, videos will be going up.

Hey what method are you using to bring down that car from Japan? I know some parts men does get it CKD in Japan then ship and reassemble upon reaching but they does order entire containers of goods, i just want one vehicle.

I wanted to bring down an older Ralliart lancer for a swap but didn't have a clue how to start to import a vehicle over the age limit. Any info appreciated as i really have that project in my mind for the longest while.
