The car has been through many changes, and I have taken pictures of everything. It is my daily driver and my project, and it is really hard to modify it this way .For some it may be annoying, for some it may be fun. I hope you enjoy it!
This is how my car looked when I first took it home back in 2006/winter/ - just another galant on the street. That didn't work out for me very well; having experience in painting and detailing cars, some basic knowledge of mechanics I can proudly say that my car hasn't been in shop for any repairs. So here we go:

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...6/HPIM0099.jpg
I did the front and rear end conversion to 97-98 Galant /7Gb/, and got my first Evo spoiler - Evo 7 actually. Started working on the enterior again

The interior was redone completely - red and black leather racing front seats, leather rear seat, upholsered black leather door inserts, 2g Eclipse stitched steering wheel /no more crappy ebay wheel/.
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...6/HPIM0563.jpg
Exterior was changed a little - got new Evo 9 spoiler, sold the Evo 7 one
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...6/HPIM0560.jpg
Suspension - got rid of the pro kit and installed Ground Control coilover sleeves with QA1 springs 650lbs front ans 450lbs rear. Installed front and rear camber kits.
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/e...6/DSC00069.jpg
Drivetrain - 5 spd swap was scheduled for December 7th 2008, and I have all the parts for it. It will be nothing special: 7g galant manual transmission, Exedy clutch, fidanza flywheel, SS clutch line.
Powertrain - for an exception of the air filter, and header and exhaust, nothing was done, because it was still auto. I needed a few more parts to finish the parts list and go for the installation. It will be pretty basic blow thru setup - GM MAF w/ translator, 16G turbo, Bullseye hot side, Evo 3 O2 housing, 3'' downpipe, 2.5'' intercooler piping, 1g Eclipse BOV, Aeromotive FPR. It will be running 8-10 psi on stock motor.
Started collecting parts for turbo build

Dec 7th 2008
Well, I was officially 5 spd swapped. It took 14 hours of non stop work of me and Bronxbomr . I think it went good, although we had a small problem with the master cylinder - it took only 6 hours to figure it out. Car was running, but I was having some issues with adjusting the clutch pedal. I think the master cylinder that i bought off Advanced auto parts wasnt not doing its job; I don't have pics of the work, but ill post some of finished job later

August 2009
I did some work these days. Replaced the factory water temp gauge with Prosport gauge. I needed to trim the rear of the cluster to accommodate the deep gauge /never seen such a deep gauge/. I made the temp sensor adapter which will be fitted in the lower thermostat hose. Welded 1 1/4'' exhaust pipe and M8 x 1.00 nut together. NOw I have give it a coat or two of high temp paint.
