My 2003 Silver GTZ - Kouki Vr4, 6g75 MT build
The day has come when I finally started to turn the wrench on my "new" Galant, so here comes the build thread or diary, and lots of sleepless nights.
For those who don't know, I owned a Kalapana Black '01 GTZ for 10 years, till someone most likely on the phone while driving put an end to that. (She ran into me from the back with 60ish mph while I was standing in a line.) It was fun car that I enjoyed working on, this is what it looked like in it's last phase:

Than this. I will miss that PWR radiator.

And the VR4 rear bumper that I brought over myself in a suitcase.

Needless to say I was pretty depressed. This happened back in January, and for several months I was trying find an other one. I was tempted several times to just move on. Than last Saturday I purchased a '02 GTZ. Here it is in it's stock, faded glory.

First I actually passed on it bc I thought it needs too much work, but thinking it through I came to realize I need to stop being lazy, as I can do what it needs, and have the parts. (I bought the '01 back from insurance.)
The bad: cancer. It is my favorite mitsu color however so good base for a repaint in the end.
The good: completely rust free southern car! Makes a huge difference.
So the idea is to swap over the parts from my old GTZ, finish what I started (6g75 swap), pull off an other JDM conversion and paint it.
Build of my 2003 Sterling Silver Metallic will start with post 75, on page 4.
