Keith, good luck with this project. I feel like I say that to you a lot.
I bought the lancer as a "flip car" and for the fun of redoing one lol. I was browsing craiglist and some guy was selling one with 128k miles for 3500. I drove an hour away and found it had minor dings and dents and a broken bumper cover. I ended up talking the guy down to 2500.
If it were manual, I would make this the daily and get rid of the daily galant.
When I first got it (my little brother drove it home):
Of course the ES isn't appealing to me and looks like the base model. I decided I wanted to make it look more like the GTS, then found a sweet deal on a GT kit (ralliart looking bumper, side skirts, projector fogs w/ housings, chrome grille). This way I traded off the cost of the GTS lip spoilers, fogs, replacement bumper.
I figure If I'm going to make it look like a new GT, I might as well get rid of off the dents:
I should have new paint/clear on it this weekend.

lmao! If I buy one more nice car, I'll feel threatened xD
Hah I'm an addict ik =X
Just keep your eyes peeled and your searches active!
I was really going to keep it or give it to the gf, but the CVT is killing the deal. Remember our galants do not come manual, so the fact that these lancer do... Makes me want to just keep it moving until a DE or 5spd gts comes along. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to get a ralliart sub 10k lol. You guys would internet snipe me for that deal.

Greg, I picked it up 4 days after MOD. I was trying to buy an evo before mod but some places were way too high when it came down to payments. After mod I stopped in and worked out a great deal.
Keith, my 2012 GT was a CVT. For a daily it's great because it's always trying to get the best gas mileage but for me as a car enthusiast it didn't cuz it for me even tho I had the paddle shifters too.

I had no idea you had the 2012 GT. Did you lose a bunch of money by trading up?
I had the CVT trans, it sounds like a broken auto lol. You guys will be happy to know the daily galant 2.4L auto (300k miles) was nose to nose with this from a dig haha. Had to race em on the way home.

Nice! I love seeing body work builds. If you lived closer man, I'd hire you to paint my G.
Paint lifted on the front bumper (their primer from factory reacted with my paint)
Front bumper (pain in the ass!)
Sanding to get that mirror reflection

It's all for that mirror finish! I was always too scared to sand my other cars, so what a perfect opportunity to try it on lol.
So far, I'm completely done with the trunk and rear bumper.
Still have to wire up the fog lights and get a switch, get those gts wheels in there with a new set of tires. Debating a rear camera for the bumper insert.
