RIP My Galant

[blue8g]

here's my advice in a specific order:

1) buy the $400 dollar car
2) Drop the engine and transmission from that car since a) the transmission doesn't work and b) the engine has 117K on it
3) Drop the engine from your white car, then swap it into the beige car. Don't even have to unbolt the transmission
4) Swap over the speedo cluster so your mileage will be correct.
5) Swap over whatever body parts you so wish
6) Cheap, DIY quick paint job

BAM you're done for like $600
oh and that is if the engines are the same and the years correspond

dude, your car is an utter piece of shit

Start with a new one, the white one will never feel right I guarantee it

Geez, calm down Harry lol :P I don't think that's what he needs right now, some real advice like what beam, 03, and the other are doin.

Hey guys.. So I spent a lot of time thinking about this, and talked it over with my dad... and a few friends... It all comes down to if i have time, and truth be told.. I really don't.

I love galants, but i think I'm going to back for now, and get back to it when i have more time. It's a really fun car to play with.. I'll start parting the car out. I'm just probably going to rip out some of the electrical stuff out of the car.. (capicitor, amps, lighting.. maybe the deck.. probably not... if anyone is interested in any parts... or the whole car itself.. throw me a deal.. and I'll consider it... it's got an injen cool air intake in there which i probably would have kept but i'm not sure as to exactly how to dismount it / remount it if i ever got a new G.. which.. I will get a new G eventually...

I'll probably keep the whole body stock and get ground effects...yea guys.. uhm.. so yea.. if anyone wants anything.. or the whole thing.. just let me know... i just need to get something driveable and quickly.. i have work.. and am a commuter student.. i'll probably get some piece of shit commuter car.. then either get a G, or 3000gt or something.. depends which of the two a better deal pops up first for.. lol...

ok guys.. let me know..

You guys have been awesome.. really been extremely helpfull

[showtime]

what stereo stuff is in it?

[bobmundo123]

what stereo stuff is in it?

not too sure..

all i know.. after market stereo..
Custom Deck.. 2 DUB speakers, 2 Dub Tweeters, 2 other tweeters, 2 eclipse Stock Speakers, 2 AMPS, 1 Capicitor, and 2 12" Subs... one is a Type R, other is a quantnum.. thats all i really know..

[showtime]

if you find out the amps let me know, I might take one or both if you sell them.

Its now in COMA STATE.. I was actually able to unbend the frame enough to get the fender to fit. I tied it to a tree and was able to slowly crank it and bend it into a decent shape.. I took off the hood, and will start re-fiberglasing the fender, Cyber 2 bumper, and hood. My friend actually has a powerful Compressor.. So he will be helping with the sanding and painting. My bud really heped me out. I think I'm going to keep this G as a project Car. Will do some engine work etc, and get it perfect. Until I find another shell when i want it to be DONE.. and then convert everything back into that Shell. I'll be keeping this car in my driveway, and will eventually register it in another state for insurance reasons.. but yea... It's slowly coming out of its grave... But it needs gas...

THis car... Is in rehab... I had reallu lost hope until my bud gave me the idea to tie it to the tree and slowly crank it and moove it.. projector is kinda dead.. but not shattered... so semi usable.. i just hope it levels right..

[E_Emerson88]

so your not parting out? lol

How well did that play out? I know I posted something a while back about my radiator support being slightly bent when someone backed into me, but it is very slight to where my hood will barely close unless I have bungee cords. Can a shop pull it back out to perfection again? I would rather do that then do cosmetics later...


EDIT: Sorry to just run up in your thread with my delima lol.

Played out suprisingly well.. Honestly after the accident i couldn't even pop the hood.. and once i did.. i couldn't get it to close...

After having moved the car in various positions and doing several bends.. the hood now closes like nothing happened.. granted the fender isn't on there right now.. but still.. I'm just fixing it up so i can through the fender up there.. so after that you really would not be able to see the frame.. i do eventually.. Like LATER down the road would want to either buy another shell, or at least weld on a new piece of that frame on there..

The Car runs.. Fine.. Flawlessly... actually.. I was just inspired to possibly throw a turbo in there.... =X... but i think i'd have to remove the power steering to make room.. at least thats what i was told judging by the size o the headers....oo also i jus found out that the son of a bitch took out the airbag sensors... anyone know where to get them on the cheap... cuz.. i mean.. thats kinda important.. i feel like if they were in the car for this accident.. they woulda come out... so good thing they weren;t there this time around...

And ditto to your sig RayDUB.. cept it's actually broke... lol

And Emerson.. As of right now.. Not anymore!.. lol.. but we'll see.... if this rehab doesn't go to well if anyone is interested in jus taking the whole thing.. hit me upp

[reiketsutsukigami]

yea I live over in mass and we buy busted up insurance cars that are demolishheed. one car hit a tree at 60mph and we did a frame pull came out just fine for about 600$ for a small hit like that it shouldn't cost nearly as much personally im attached to my 8g too and id even go as far as to rebuild it from scrap XD but its up to you.

[nightmare03]

If i was you and i was real attached to my 03g i would get another one but if not if my insurance had paid my full cover i would go to a next level get a evo9 and star over !!!!

[bobmundo123]

lol.. insurance gave me 4Grand.. but that went to the parents... and they pay for the insurance.. soo.. its like.. ehhh.. lol.. EVO!!!.. mad money though.. and i'm poor.. lol

[bobmundo123]

quick question.. which is bigger..? 02 civic coupe, or 02 mustang?

[blue8g]

mustang.....why?

[polishmafia]

Bigger in what sense? Leg room, motor size, gas usage?

[bobmundo123]

I'm thinking of grabbing this 02 Mustang GT.. its really nice. pushes about 240 stock.. it weighs quite a bit too.. which of the three do you guys think would be safer.. 02 civic, the stang, or galant..

like which i bigger.. big to small..
and safer... safest to least safest...

I need to make a compelling case to the parents to allow me to drive a mustang, and my sister has an 02 civic.. so yea.. those things are light.. i heard they are about 2300lbs.. and mustangs are like 3500.. damnnn

[ISMASG90]

A Geo Metro! hah naa see how much $$ you got and then decide.

[bobmundo123]

A Geo Metro! hah naa see how much $$ you got and then decide.

My dad actually had one.. no i mean...

my sis got her 02 civic coupe for 6500 with 47k miles

this mustang is 6800 with 64k miles on it.. its an 02 GT

and jus in comparison to like a 99 galant...

jus need like a comparison.. like mad quick.. so i can make a compelling case... i gotta convince parents into mustang.. lol

[duh2150]

I'd go with Galant, mustangs are overrated to many people drive them, especially republicans :P, this is a Galant forum after all, its all your choice tho
