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.

Seriously, I dont know who the car belongs to. This is the first time I see another G besides mine in a long time.AND the pictures show why 7g never made it big in the USA.lol

Awesome work, been following your build for quite sometime and let me tell you that I'm jealous hahaha will probably do the same to my GS once it becomes my toy instead of my daily which I hope is soon enough. :-)

I Like! Vids!

Chris, this is awesome! She looks very good and I can't wait for vids as well!

Amazing seeing a stock one in the same color, you definitely see why they didn't catch on. If only the world-spec was sold here!

This looks awesome man! I can only hope to have my GS be just as good as this one!
Also x2 on the vids.

Good to see its on the road

You gotta get some footage of you sliding that thing around when the snow hits the ground!!

CONGRADS! Nice work!

Looking good I hope you have fun with it!

Awesome work dude looks like it came from the factory the way you have it!

This one is so clean! Great job man. How does it sound? Looks like you have a cherry bomb resonator on it =)

Do you still have the red galant???

Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words.

Its quiet while cruising, but it def has some deep tone to it. There are actually two cherrybombs on it lol

I do have the red galant and Ill be tearing in it very soon. I have the idea of turning it into a race car and guess what it will be AWD swapped too.

beautiful, good job.

You did an amazing job! Happy for ya man.

Ohh didn't notice the second one lol. You'll have to shoot a video so we can all hear it!

Where did you get those AWD stickers?

Awesome!

Wow, this is awesome! Another great example of hard work and dedication. Definitely shows the potential for the 7g
Good work!



The other Galant needs to learn how to park

Awesome job man. Congrats.

Great build, car looks awesome, gotta love that front end ;)

I just fianlly saw these pics on a computer screen and am I so jelly! Such a clean build!

Very nice, great job. When I was 14 I saw a 7G lowered with a body kit and evo spoiler and ever since then I wanted a galant and when I was 18 I got a 8G but my first love was a 7G.

Amazing build. Its good to see there is still love for the 7G's.

I haven't been here in quiet some time, I'm guessing that's not the red galant you started with, is it? Anyways, it looks sweet.! I have always liked these cars and awd swap + turbo would be awesome! Great build!

Looks good man. Glad to see it all come together. I would have really enjoyed doing the swap on my GS. I'd like to see more photos and some vids.
How is your tune?


I'm going to hate on you for the abundance of AWD stickers. ;)
You know I was always an ocd purist lol.

Any other plans for this one?

Congrats and nice work.

Whoa MKO, The car looks great!!!! Iam sure its a blast to drive and even more satisfying knowing the rarity of it. Iam looking forward to what you got coming in the future for it, as I've recently been re-motivated to work on my 7g. Keep it up.
