03 galant convert into an 01 look

[gallant]

I have a lot of questions that only Galant center can answer

I have gotten my self into a bad front end accident. I can start fresh and make it look how I want. My 03 Galant stock is not appealing to the eye. I want it to look like an 01. Is it possible with a few mods?

Yes its 8G but some parts are different.

I have a 03 core support in my 2000. It can be done, I just don't have a grill installed, and need to remove a bracket,

The only differance is a bracket where the hood latch is, other then that its all the same

looks like you need a new hood, crash bar, radiator support, condenser, radiator, and maybe new fans if thats cracked too.

forgot to mention what iv done so far before joining this website.

full story of what i hit, where, if i was drinking, and how fast i was going because these questions all ways come up.

Radiator and one of the fans had to be replaced. I bent the crash bar and radiator support back into place. I don't have the tools to change the radiator support

Beam will come in as soon as I fix the rest of the car.

[QnzMostWanted]

if ur roof still looks like that, i'd get another car and start over IMHO

[Dominicano]

so i am trying to piece your accident together you hit a sign so i understand the front damage and then the back of your is all messed up, how did that happen when your windshield is unscathed?

[G-spot]

after seeing the roof damage I'd get another car. front end can be fixed but the roof is part of the main body

[Corey2kG]

Dude just get another car.

[finald8ta]

plz get another G,

i recked my g just last month and had to repalce the core support, after we pulled the old one off we noticed it was replaced before i owned the car, i knew it was in a reck but not this bad, and im not happy with it any more, so im looking into another G possibly a GTZ, at the beginning of the yr, i have alot invested in my G yet im just not happy anymore, i only did the front end so it didnt look like an eye sore going down the rd and i already purchase all the parts,

your looking at a comlpete lose unless you replace the roof, and its alot of work, same with the core support

[wetamup2k3g]

If the roof repair were feasible, you'd probably have to replace it outright, meaning cut it out and reweld another one in. It'd be hard as hell to straighten out the current one and get it back to where the window would fit back perfectly. And that don't include the possible (more like probable) tweaking of the entire roof and pillar structure since the roof got caved in, pulling the c-pillars closer to each other. I'd definitely look into taking the money and getting another one. Good luck, keep us posted either way.

[deeznutz]

Wtf are you guys talking about that shit will buff out! Nah but in all seriousness get another car cause it ain't even worth the hassle of repairing probably cheaper too.

[gallant]

Thanks for the feedback and everyone's opinion.. Finished putting in the bumper + grill this morning.

Its not as bad as it looks. Body shop is charging me $150 for the roof but need a glass to line it up. Not include paint job.
Rain sucks cuz i get water come into my trunk. Damp rid is my best friend.

Hit the sign, came off the ground, and hit the roof in mid air, shattering my windshield. Pictures tomorrow of my trash bag -_-

I will not be getting rid of my car any time soon. I just bought the title for it.
Ill make it convertible before i sell this car. (Like a BOSS) :043:

Not bad you still need to tweak your front end alittle.

IDK looks like you made decent progress, but with damage like that any insurance company would have automatically Salvaged the car as a total loss, & with good reason. The car will never be the same unfortunately. I hope you reconsider selling the car and getting another one worth your while...

They did a great job. They put a few sheets of fiberglass to reinforce it. It was tricky putting in the glass but a few tweeks here and there made it look like a brand new car. Glass guy had to put an extra beep of sealant to lift it up in the middle. Perks are that now its guaranteed for life no leaks. Checking the wiring because my heat sinks are not working. Not complaining. Easy fix. Tint coming in soon.

Dremel and hand eye coordination. Need touch up paint for mine lol

[wetamup2k3g]

Your talking about a two way splitter?



Sorta-kinda, yeah. The male plug on the harness that plugs into the front dome light is the same as the one on the harness for the Diamante lights. So, with some extra Diamante harnesses, you can sit in your house and solder together a splitter harness that sends power to your rear lights and solder in a plug to plug into the front dome to keep that functional as well, all without cutting any of your car's wires. Hope this made sense, I'm still waking up.

Doesn't look bad at all, install looks good. Wiring diagram is spot on, just make sure your wires are matched up right, because you have switched grounds with our dome lights as well as the Diamante lights. I see you are using the beige ones on your gray interior, I know it's hard to find a gray set of Diamante lights, but it's possible, just keep looking. I've had three sets of gray and three sets of beige, I have one set of each left, but the gray ones are going in my car. BTW, are those the two-wire Diamante lights or the three-wire ones?

The diagram way of wiring didnt work. They stayed on, constant current. Need to rig something up that i can draw the power straight from the light connection to be able to control all of the lights unison unless you have another idea on how to wire them up without splicing the wire.

[Bloody Arro]

Did you install the springs yet? Pics?

[wetamup2k3g]

That's odd, there must be a wire incorrectly installed. I may have misunderstood the diagram. Anyway, what I did when I was toying with the idea, I unplugged the dome light and plugged in the diamante light instead, and it worked just like the dome except there is no way to make the lights stay off when the door opens, they always come on when a door opens. I say check the wiring again, you might have the grounds crossed, one is a constant ground and the other is a switched ground, and the power wire is a constant as well. If you have the grounds crossed then the lights will never cut off. The switch switches the grounds.

Wait! Had the door open when i tested it lol. Try it again hold on -_-
There has to be some way to control them with the dome switch when doors are open. Think :/

[wetamup2k3g]

I was thinking how can I tie in the constant ground to the main dome switch, if that can be done then they'll stay off if the master dome switch is off. Might have to rig up something, solder a wire into the bus bar for the switch or something. Might have to manipulate the constant power instead.

[gallant]

Grrr i see what your saying. Im looking at it right now.
The hole point was to not mess with the original wire. I guess I'll have to deal with it until we come up with a good plan, for now this will have to work.

iirc theres a constant power at the dome light, it a matter of finding that constant power, and switch power, and making it work, im sure someone who has done this will chime in

[oakrdrs187]

Actually, its a matter of finding the constant, the ground and the ground when a door is open. Open probably has power coming from the dome light direct ground, making the lights always on.

Sent from Tapatalk 2 using my Rooted DROID BIONIC on Android ICS

[wetamup2k3g]

The dome's constant ground and switched ground are reversed from the Diamante light's constant ground and switched ground if you plug the two harnesses together. Just checked it myself on my own car with my own Diamante light. Not ideal, but if you just switch the grounds on your custom harness, it'll work as planned. Or, you can just use the button in reverse, and keep everything the way you already have it.

[gallant]

Witch two grounds should i be switching around?
what do you mean by using the button in reverse?

[wetamup2k3g]

Hopefully this will help. By using the button in reverse I mean that instead of pushing the button in to turn the light on always, pop the button out to turn the light on always, but never mind, the following wiring diagram should work to plan:

Got it to work and they look so nice at night. I recommend this mod to any one that has a Galant. Down fall on Galant is that there is only one dome light and not enough light to light up the floor in the back seat. Only thing I can’t do is control the rear lights by the dome switch. Can’t turn them off on command.

Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk

[gallant]

Ok galant enthusiast. I need help, direction, and guidance.
Tired of my car not keeping up. I’m tired of my car looking fast but not going fast.
I made a goal that I want to reach but I will need everyones help to do it. I’m reaching out to anyone that has a (V6 stick turbo on a 02-03 galant) build thread that I can read and take notes. I have never done a swap and know basics about engine internals. If you can point me in the right direction it will be greatly appreciated.
PS.. I also have an account on evolutionm.net and club3g.com

[oakrdrs187]

Let me the first to say that you're better off getting a V6 car and starting over, Or you could simply 5 speed swap your car build off it by either going with an evo swap or just boosting the 4g64 in it now.

[Black8GV6]

If you want a v6 just buy a V6 Galant. That way you can keep your current one as a daily and the V6 will be your project car. There are plenty of cheap V6 galants on craigslist, just keep checking, probably in ~6 months you'll find the perfect one, there are a lot of crap ones and a lot of over priced ones so just checking and you'll find that diamond. If you want to do an engine swap on the V6 then do the 3.8 or if you want to be the man of V6 swaps then swap the twin turbo dohc from the 3000gt, a lot of customization and fibracation will need to be done but you did a great job on that nasty roof.

A crate 572. I used to dream about that when I had my F-Body. Not gonna say impossible but I will say you're better off boosting a built 4g63.

Sent From My Rooted Galaxy Note 2 using Tapatalk

Get a v6 car. I agree with black8gv6. But its not worth it. The v6 motors are weak. When it comes to turbo. Your better off with a 75motor and doing a motor swap.

Nice. Make a build thread so i can follow your progress Joe

[wetamup2k3g]

Taller tires throw your speedo off and slows acceleration down by shortening your drive ratio. Your engine works harder, albeit slightly in this case, to give you the same amount of acceleration with taller tires vs the ones the car is designed for. Also, to put it simply, the vss is set that with x many rpms, the tires are spinning y many times based on their circumference, and if you have taller tires, you have a bigger circumference, throwing the value of y off. If you're not rubbing it's probably not a huge deal, but I'd still be leery of running the wrong size, too low or too tall.

Thanks bro for explaining it to me. It makes total sense. In the process to get them swapped. Iv been jumping over a lot of hoops lately.
Timing belt has hit its limit. It didn't snap but scared enough to get a compression test to see if any damage has been done internally.

Ok so im coming to this page to update the status of my G

My first car meet this big is on July 19th called All Florida Beach Meet in Tampa, FL. Bringing caravans from Ohio. Now im scrambling to get my car back together.

These are the things that i need to finish: Replace headliner, Replace driver side axle, Paint and install the drip molding, Fix or replace the rims (bought with flat spot), Re carpet and clean up the trunk, Redo the eyebrows, Clay bar and wax my baby, Speakers installed, Buy new carpet (black), Glue and rap the dried up dashboard that has cracks, Get a small lip for the front, Make my Gallant into a boosted automatic, Vinyl the roof black, JDM the back bumper, Modify the grill with some fiberglass, and the concept to my vision for my car is a "Fast VIP" type car. Sleeper...
Im not giving up on my baby especially after a timing belt purchase :)

Preping the roof for the new drip molding to prevent future rust. Galants are getting old and time is not on our side. New clips because the old ones are weakened from the Florida sun. Should be taking the carpet out next.

Damn I'm jumping on this too, My carpet is beat to hell. Headliner looks solid, I wish I could do that, I suck at that stuff.

For the headliner it was my first time messing with fabric and it was quite simple if you take your time. Thanks for the compliment. If you have a build thread let us know how it goes. If I get enough time I want to do the trunk too

Damn i need those drip moldings too
I pick the moldings from the best looking Galant in the junk yard. Cleaned them up and painted them to look like new but the clips must be new. Clips from dealer came out to $60 ish
Preventative maintenance is always good for an old car

[SNWFLK]

Nice yeah I went to upull in orlando there were a few galants but not much. Even a white GTZ with side moldings I considered grabbing but great idea on the moldings I may do that myself

Thank you :)

Haha we were on the same page and yup that was the one. I wanted that rear bumper as well but walked away from it. I ripped off those window visors and then when I noticed the drivers was cracked in half I stopped lol

[gallant]

My most resent purchase. Axel and boot are coming in the mail. Need to rely on this car to take me to the meet. (30 day count down)
Thanks Joe for showing me this website

This is what i have now. Projectors.
Now coming home with more car parts from the jy. Infinity j30 headlights look like a nice add to my collection. This will be mocked into JDM headlights one day. Then i collected a tool box full of black parts to match the black carpet that's coming in the mail. Slowly my car is taking over my house. VIP transformation begins with car parts. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/01/sevute5a.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/01/u2uhatan.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/01/juma3e6e.jpg

Looks like a nice collection..all from a 3g i assume? For the handle surrounds do you just get 2 left and 2 rights and they fit the 8g rear doors?

Cool thanks for the info, and the bay cleaned up well

[gallant]

New build thread will be started soon. Getting pictures together

[Bllrmbltz]

I gotta say man every bit of this has been pretty damn inspirational. I'm here in orlando as well, but from "life's fun" I've been held back from doing anything actually cool with my 8g. I was apart of a Mitsubishi team mostly dealing with mirage (I also have one) but that died out so I've been hanging out with some 3g guys. Btw just a little secret if you didn't know before hand, budget off of 9th and colonial is pretty much where Mitsubishi goes to die and there are anywhere between 6 to 14 galants there and 3 to 7 3gs there at a time. It's the only place I go to and I personally hate upull. 8gs are like roaches over here but by far yours stands out the best I've seen.

[SNWFLK]

Heard that I'll be going to budget tmrw!!

[Bllrmbltz]

Lol! It's been 3 weeks last I've gone and the last time I was there they had 4 3gs and 7 or 8 8gs. I need to go back Saturday morning myself. It's a "little" yard out of the way for most people and its kinda off the beaten track but their staff is "friendly", their import section is huge, not so many people walking around knocking over your crap, and there's a lot of respect from the normal people who go there. I'll tell you guys but everyone who already goes there likes keeping it under the radar so it doesn't turn out like lkq and upull.

Speaking of which how many galant people we even got in the Orlando area? We need to do a sonics drive thru meet up to give each other some inspiration during this heat rain crap.

[SNWFLK]

I'm in orlando, and I'll keep the lot under wraps. ��

[gallant]

CFL Galant group is getting bigger. Starting to get the Miami crew together too :)
cant wait!!!

last weekend we had a good turnout go to Tampa for the AFBM (All Florida Beach Meet)
Club 3g came down from OH, NY, NJ, MD, TN, GA, FL and had a blast at the beach with the Mitsu group. Even had one Eclipse leak oil in the parking lot. That was an experience to remember. Photo shoot, burgers, hot dogs, and good people. Can't beat that. So far we have 16 Galants not including the big group of people down in Miami
If interested in bringing your Galant out and meeting with TGC people PM me your FB name or phone number and ill keep you posted

Thanks bro.
We are getting a big turn out all over the Florida area. I ran into a TGC member and pulling people over that have modified Galants :)
Made a few private FB pages and networking is the goal to get people together and help each other out with car problems/questions

Car is looking good man

[gallant]

Thanks bro. Hope to be jdm by this year and go 5 speed by 2015
Baby steps. Still gathering turbo parts

Edit: fog lights are going on sale

[M-Rod]

The car is cleaning up nicely. A different set of wheels, and it would be a mint daily.

[Bllrmbltz]

Trust me those wheels are pretty bad ass in person.

But chachi if you don't want em you know what front door to leave them at lol

[oakrdrs187]

I'm with MRod.

Never been a fan of wheels with more than one color, lips excluded.

Nah he'll take a picture it matches and brings everything together so well. It really does stand out in a good way

[SNWFLK]

I like the wheels, they're different and IMO fit the cars look. I'm going for a similar clean look just with the Dover pearl paint .

[gallant]

Picture doesn't give it justice

[gallant]

The new name I got from local Galant guys is ChachiDM but im going JDM now. Lola is getting a facelift with a ChachiDM touch to it. Doing a ChachiDM Lola v2 build thread. Time to start putting pictures together.

Thanks for the feedback and everyone's opinion.. Finished putting in the bumper + grill this morning.

Its not as bad as it looks. Body shop is charging me $150 for the roof but need a glass to line it up. Not include paint job.
Rain sucks cuz i get water come into my trunk. Damp rid is my best friend.

Hit the sign, came off the ground, and hit the roof in mid air, shattering my windshield. Pictures tomorrow of my trash bag -_-

I will not be getting rid of my car any time soon. I just bought the title for it.
Ill make it convertible before i sell this car. (Like a BOSS) :043:

Hey did the 8ga grill mount using the same holes for the 8gb grill?

[gallant]

Same holes but you will have to take out the center metal mount of the frame (the one that holds up the 8gb bumper) to fit the 8ga grill

Thanks...I was aware of the center piece just wanted to know if holes were the same

[gallant]

Kyle. That's how i felt taking the picture. I can't wait for it to be on the car

[anglotrapxon]

Nice build. I hope I can start up one of these threads in the near future.

[gallant]

Getting people together in Florida. Lolla is going to be stripped and gutted in the next few months.

Parting ways

Came on to officially say my last goodbyes to my Galant. It has been a long and fun journey with great memories. Reliable and long lasting Lolla has been through hell and back. Officially parted out most of the car out to the local guys and now time to show some love to the TGC family.

This month I plan on taking off all of the aftermarket parts still on the car little by little and taking the shell to the junk yard for scrap metal.

PS. I now have a Toyota Camry as a daily

[KhaosGalant]

How much have you put into repairs so far?

[8thGenGTZ]

Damn... I was so close to selling my Galant like 2 days ago i even got amazing offers but i decided to keep it and build it. It was my first car I'm only 19 so I came on here looking for some knowledge an found this thread an read all 11 pages of your years worth of journey and just saw you decided to part ways after you had me feeling like the Galant is the best car in the world LOL! Thanks for the inspiration hopefully i can carry on your legacy! :icon_razz:

[coconut]

Wrong part of the post bit welcome dood. Glad you decide to keep the G. Lots of good stuff to lurk around and find. This site is amazing. Lots of build threads and how to. Really cool people here. Have fun.
