Hey everybody!
Shoutout to buddies SpecialK and Gojirars for sparking my interest in Galants!
I just picket up my first Galant, a 1999 with 221k miles on her. got her in poor shape and My pal Gojirars is helping bring her back to life!
I picked it up for $800. The thing had tires so bald, they were fit for a race track. The oil hadn't been changed in over 20k miles and she sounded like she was choking. A little cleaning of the throttle body and replacing the valve cover gasket sure helped that. It has the notorious cracked intake manifold, so I just ordered myself a nice used '03 Outlander manifold and 6g72 Throttle body.
It's a little rusty! (That's what $800 will get ya in MN) Hope you all like it!
Edit:
Sorry for uploading the pictures wrong, this time it should work.
