Under the fenders there are a few screews - you must get them out first. Go under the bumper and check for other screws - there should be about 8-10 screws that are keeping bumper in place. I had it off before and I remember it wasn't hard to get it off. :wink:
Good luck!
Major thanks https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...lt/biggrin.gifQuote:

http://www.galantvr4.org/ubb/ultimatebb.ph...ic;f=2;t=001654
i have removed mine more times than i care to admit. it is very easy, just heavy and cumbersome.
Thanks for the help.
But my front consists of 3 parts not 2.
From top to bottom:
- Piece of metal below the headlights
- Bumper
- Underspoiler
The link from the VR-4 forum showed a bumper and underspoiler as one.
With my g the bumper is seperate from the spoiler.
And FIN, can't you send me some helpfull PDF's?
the piece of metal below the headlites does not have to come off. when i first removed my bumper, i took it off, it is a real pain. to get it off, you have to remove the headlites. dunno about a lower spoiler, the jdm vr4 bumper comes off the same way the usa bumper does, and it is 1 piece.

And the piece of metal below the headlightes MUST come off. (Since it is damaged too :oops: )
Bumper and underspoiler are off the car now.
Next up: Headlights and piece of metal below the head lights.
I had to rebuild the front of my Lancer [car I had before the Galant] and it had the same metal strip under the lamps. it was held on simply by a bolt either end [hidden by the headlamps and indicators] and one in the middle behind the grille. The Galant appears to be the same from what I can see on mine https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/smile.gif
That sounds easy. :-)
Alright, headlamps are off and the 'sub'-bumper (piece of metal behind the bumper) is also off. But the strip of metal below the headlights is still there, it has a total of 5 screws, but most of them are rusted so I have to saw them off or something.
Alright, that metal strip is finally off, now only the radiator and the piece of metal on the left side (has a dent in it). And then it's ready to go to the shop.
So you have committed to reincarnating the Galant now? Thats great news.
Yep, don't have the money to buy a new car.
Almost everything that is broken is off the car now and I guess it goes to the shop by the end of the week.
Good luck buddy! Hope that things will go fast, and especially cheap for you.
Keep us posted :wink:
Me and my brother towed the car to the shop 2 days ago. (Looked funny, a Corrado VR6 towing a car https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/laugh.gif )
They can fix it for me, but I need a new front. I mean the front part of the chassis.
And they also told me they need the new parts (bumper, headlights, etc.) too or else they can't mount the new front correctly.

You need exactly what i just bought!. I found the local importer by searching on Google for "Japan Front Cuts". Dont know if you use the same words in Holland, but what they do is import the entire front of the car (cutting off just past the dashboard). The main idea is for the engine upgrades, but sometimes the panels are in decent condition.
Sorry can't find anything. :-S
Hey Jeucken!
I remembered something. In your country - Holland . there is a company wich is specialized in JDM front cuts, JDM Engines, and JDM parts.
Take a look here: www.coltco.nl
They can even get you a 4G63Turbo engine from Galant VR-4! :shock: :shock: :shock:
Hope this helps bro 8)
Can someone measure his 6g hood for me? I need to get a new one but I don't know if it fits in the car I'm going with (VW Caddy). Well, I think it does, my friends thinks it doesn't....
So what are the sizes of a 6g hood?
why don't u just buy a 6g hood, don't rape your car by installing german parts to it :shock:Quote:

Please accept the apoligy from this humble person for disturbing you about this. I understand that someone of your level has his hands full on more important things.

Now i am paranoid. every black dot in the wall might be one of those hidden cameras.
sorry to hijack this thread, but how come most 6g owners arent in america?
so far every1 that has posted in this thread is in another country.
we have:
australia
the netherlands
helsinki, finland (my fav. country other than the u.s btw)
ljubljana (whatever that is)
Norway and...
Wrexham.
so what gives?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(GalantGuy96)</div><div class='quotemain'>so what gives?</div>
good point. In Australia 8 & 9G has not (and will not) be released, 7G only imported up to 1995. 6G widely available from 1989.
The 7G's available here were a 2.0L V6 but only a basic model FWD, no GSR/VR4 type features or fitout. Thats probably why the product failed.
Thus any enthusiast looking at a Galant is most likely to consider 6G's.
Galant is not on the grey import 'allowed' list, hence the most common G in australia is the 6. The 15yo open slather import law, still only lets people bring in JDM Galants up to 1988 builds at this time.
Hence, lots of 6G's in australia, most of them GSR's, not many 7G's at all.
On the other hand, New Zealand has more 7-8G's than sheep, but most with a 1.6L engine i beleive.
In Conclusion, from my point of view, if the performance level 7G+ Galants were available here, then many of us would have one or at least be thinking about one, but as they are forbidden fruit, 6G remains our pleasure, in comparison to the yankees, once a 6G fan you have now upgraded and moved on - god bless ya's
You also have to mind the fact that cars are way cheaper in the US. So when you want to buy a Galant in the US you wind up with a 7g or 8g a whole lot easier than here in the Netherlands.
yup, it's a matter of economics and should i say reputation? here in manila, you would most probably see more 6G in very good condition than the 7G.
6G's here have an image of being sturdy and having better ride than the 7G, and it commands better resale value.
some even consider it being a "cult car", like the exotic EVOs https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/smile.gif
