Okay this might not be the most exciting build cause i'm still 15 and can't make a lot of money and I don't think I'm going to do anything big to the Galant. My dad got it for $3000 with 90k miles on it, then two years later he gave it me.

Don't mind the riced out tahoe, he used to be a cooker where I work at.
At first I knew nothing about Galants or never heard about them. I wanted an Integra as a first car and I also wanted to put a type r front on it if I got one. But I guess I fell in love with the Galant when my dad had it and it was the car where I learned how to drive. He was about to sell it until I told him I would buy it, but he decided he will just give it to me.
So before i knew about TGC, this was my plan for it:

Yea, go ahead and laugh
So the bulbs in the gauges blew out and I did this until i got new ones:

and here is how I would turn them on:

next thing I did was the grille mod:

Then I painted it:

shaved the trunk:

painted the wood trim (just got to do the trim on the doors now):

So now that I ran out of free mods I decided to go JDM. I think I might be the only one in Iowa with a JDM front and maybe the first one too. I bought a fiberglass old style bumper because I couldn't find an OEM one.
I trim the crash bar:

bought some foglights from Galantman03:

test fitted the bumper, need to paint it:

then I bought some JDM headlights:

and got a JDM grille from sAnDiEgOVR4

I update this when I get all my JDM stuff on the Galant. Now i want to save some money for lowering springs or new rims because I don't like the wheel gap and my rims aren't looking so great:

and I'm missing bolt.
