Here is my Galant V6
I have always loved this car, because a lot of my father because he had so one, but then when he has it sold (was the worst day of my childhood, believe me:orangeupset:) I said that I would so buy one someday.
Almost 10 years later I got my wish fulfilled, and since he is my first car and I'm on it although it is not very proud of the ideal car for my old
Hope you like it :023:

So here I will show a few modifications I made to my oldie ...
When I bought my car needed a new paint job and had to make everything new in the interior.
It has been painted and the interior was completely changed from a slaughtered Galant with only 50,000 kilometers across very good condition (tabelier, door panels, carpets, large underbody carpet, everything is in plastic, etc., etc.
Have the wheels changed from 15 to 17 "that has the look changed completely :duh:
Here are a few photos from earlier and later

Nice to see your ride here too. Everything is so clean :023:. I need to repaint my V6 7G's bumpers, lips and sideskirts since they have some defects and stonechips.
I also have operating manual book for my car. There were many options for 7g, including Electronically Controlled Suspension, Traction control (TCL) and
TRACE-control (<-you can google that), (leather) power seats, heated front seats, rear wiper for saloon bodytype, 4 Wheel Steering etc. Good luck with the car,
I hope you will find that rear air dam that you are looking for.

03-10-2014, 10:38 AM
Sorry for double post, here are some pictures of my rear air dam, you can see the OEM number for that, my Local Dealership says that this part is replaced with another.
The OEM number on mine is MZ310378, new part number is MZ310379 and it costs 417,50 EUR. I got a used one for only 15 Euros, because the owner had his car parted out and didn't know it was that rare.

This, is, beautiful!
I knew there was an Air Suspension option (it says so in my hand book), but never in my life thought I would ever see it! shame you had to get rid of it, but knowing more than a few "professional" drivers, and the issues they have on wagons and busses with air bags/shocks with leaks, rot, dust clogging up the air lines I can understand your reasoning removing it.
That and I once worked with a guy, had a brand new Audi with all that jazz, loved to brag about it, but within 3 months it was haemorrhaging air left and centre, cost him £6000 for parts alone as it was not covered by "warranty".
Think he paid more for the work than he did for the car in the end.
Plus, all the work you have done, it really is beautiful, hopefully I will some day get to post images of the restored version of mine.

In the package the following has come:

2 Front Tweeters;
2 Automatic folding side mirrors;
Switch for the mirrors.
All of these original Galant model, had a very long time to find this parts and also managed to happiness.
If all built at the same time to share with the rest of the original that I have some time: car stereo (CD and cassette), switch for manual one-off of your power antenna, front door speakers and cup holder.

After several hours and a lot of patience, the door panels are finally done: Have taken the panel from the E88A because they are in better condition than that from E54A.

First, remove the lower plastic part.

In the rear part of the panels was marked where the speakers and tweeters must install exactly so I just had to cut in the exact position: TT

A long of the years the vinyl from the doors win some air bubbles, went to the liner and he told me there was no way to make that disappear, the truth is that I use a lot of patience and sensitivity with a hair dryer to blow the bubbles away, you must heating the vinyl a while and slowly pull the bubbles to a hole (eg. window switches) and then everything disappears. : nick
