Official Introduction - 1994 Galant GS-x AWD
Hello TGC,
It is time to "show off" my 94 Galant for the first time in its full glory (its not a show case quality by any means). Those of you, who have had followed my build thread, know that I have been working on the car for the past two years and it has swallowed pretty much every dollar that I've made. It has been a pain and a joy to work on the car and do the modifications I wanted to do, but the result is here and Im very happy with it. Biggest thanks goes to me for not giving up and pouring more and more funds into it, and of course all TGC members for the support I received and last but not least is TGC for having my project thread on here and the tremendous amount of info that is on here.
Big thanks goes to Eclipsh for pioneering the AWD swap, and the other 7g members who were going along with the swap at the same time as I did - Phizzlot and w/oarctic7g; Galanttuner10 for providing me with the GS shell; Chaotic Coating (Alex) for doing all the powdercoating for me in some crazy cold late nights, my buddy Shawn who housed the Galant for two years and my girlfriend for putting up with me...........oh shit I dont have a girlfriend cuz I bought this car......oh well; and not to forget the DSM community where I found answers to most of my questions.

It all started with a lot of jealousy of Eclipsh' Galant and it ended up with me acquiring 96 Talon AWD parts for $1000. At first, I thought I was gonna swap my red Galant since it already had forged piston engine and big brakes and stuff, but then when i thought about it, it was my only car and I couldnt afford to not have a daily. Then I saw Galanttuner10's ad, selling the green GS and the plan came together. The car didnt come with an engine, transmission or pedals and shifter, which I knew about. It looked pretty beat up from sitting under a tree for around 6 months.
So here it is 1994 Galant GS-x AWD swapped being on the road for two weeks.
