My plans for this car are to get it in working condition for my wife. I plan to swap out the seats for leather, and the radio for a GPS navigation and backup cameras setup. I might also swap out the rims. However I do like chrome caps, which i might just do that, as they look slick.
Hello 2015Mirage and welcome to the forum.
It looks like you have your work cut out for you especially if you aren't either a mechanic or an auto body person.
We tend to hold the Mirage in high regard for what it was designed for - that is, cost-effective, efficient transportation. A Mirage is economical to purchase & economical to operate. The problem is, they aren't selling in high numbers. Because there aren't many of them sold (here in North America) repair parts support has been thin and expensive. Judging by the pictures I'm guessing that Mirage hit a deer and was deemed a total loss. Interestingly, according to your pictures it looks like none of the airbags deployed - hm.
The Mirage drivetrain is proving to be pretty reliable and durable. Hopefully you are able to get it running without too much hassle. A few forum members have swapped out their radio for touchscreen units, so that has already been done. I don't know of any leather seat swaps - the factory seats have airbags, so keep that in mind.
I think it's pretty cool that you want to rescue one of our favorite little cars and get it back on the road. I wish you success.
