Fresh 8G Build (pic heavy)
Ok very pissed because this is the 3rd time trying to write this but hey 3rd times a charm. First time my brower randomly closed and the 2nd time I accidently clicked the back button SO this time im writing it in notepad n jus copy n paste it over lmao
Ive been around here awhile but never really wanted to create a build thread, I guess just too lazy.
But as im making more then just small mods here and there to my car i believe that a build thread would be not only the best way to track my progress but seek out help when problems occur and hear peoples ideas and advice
I do consider my car to be a show car
ive won a few trophies, its not easy goin up against the big bad evos and souped up eclipses/3000GT's but im doin my best to hold my own
im 21 years old so if u notice i take the cheap way out of things alot dont hold it against me im young broke n cheap lmao
i spend most of my time either on craigslist or ebay lookin for a good deal on something for my car or something i can buy cheap and sell for more like cell phones lol
2003 Dover Pearl White 2.4l Galant Es
This is my 2nd galant my first was a 99 that my brother totaled one day
my car has been sitting since december 31 2010 due to my own recklessness (not sure if thats a word) but since its been sitting so long of course i took it apart BUT due to my own carelessness (not sure if its a word) lost a few minor peices like bolts and spark plug off the top of my head
needless to say the car doesnt run and hasnt ran in about 2 months
Im hoping to bring my car back out very soon
my orignal plan was to bring the car out a month ago but due to problems with my license, money, and lack of parts that idea got cut my new goal is to have my car done by june 6 a unrealistic goal im aware of but a goal none the less
