- 1:42Rex glues on the fender flares, borrowing an edge-finishing approach from RWB Porsche builder Akira Nakai.
- 6:05The factory exhaust comes off as Rex begins fabricating a stainless steel turbo exhaust.
- 11:46Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution badges go onto the red tailgate.
- 15:36Ollie tackles the ECU wiring while Rex makes a bracket for the coil packs.
- 19:28The engine is cranked for tuning, with an initial throttle-body issue to address.
The red paint is done. Underneath it, Rex H has a different job waiting: making his homemade Evo ute run as convincingly as it looks.
His only new upload, "Driving The Evo Ute Mitsubishi NEVER Released", passed 100,000 views before its first day was over. This is a custom Proton Jumbuck conversion, not a forgotten Mitsubishi production model, and the workshop work gives the episode its substance.
Rex removes the factory exhaust and fabricates a stainless steel replacement, finishing it with an angled cannon-style muffler. "This is definitely my favourite part about working on cars: the custom fab work," he says. There are finishing touches too: black grille mesh, glued-on flares and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution badges for the tailgate.
Then automotive electrician and tuner Ollie arrives for the engine-management installation. Rex makes a bracket for the coil packs while Ollie handles wiring; the first tuning work encounters a problem with the factory hybrid throttle body. The transformation has reached the less photogenic but rather important business of getting everything to cooperate.
Viewers are discussing Rex's welding progress and proposing further changes, from rally mudflaps to an all-wheel-drive conversion. One describes discovering the painting episode, watching the series and finding this new instalment waiting, to the detriment of the household chores.
The new episode is comfortably the channel's busiest video right now. October's "Making The EVO UTE Look Like Mitsubishi Actually Built It" also continues drawing views as it approaches half a million. Rex added a thousand subscribers over the week, while daily channel views are above their usual level. The ute's freshly painted body now has a substantial mechanical chapter alongside it.

@leandevilliers4260See it on YouTubeGreat work. I hope a full Evo drivetrain swap is somewhere in the future for this car, but for now, it looks awesome and it rips. Kudos from America!
