    Finald8ta build

    2010
    history
    well so far i have done alot to the G, i paid 1000$ for it looking like this
    just before the paint job






    the car did have an e_mange on it, butt was removed, car was gona be a prototype for a turbo setup for 3g and galant, before i bought the car from my friend i did the timeing belt and headgasket on it, my buddy gave up on the car and it sat for a yr doing nothing, i ended up have a son so i needed a bigger car, so i bought the G from him, since the car sat i had alot of work ahead of me, car was throwing codes out the ass, so after fixing most of the easy ones and redoing the wiring harness it finally ran great, i put all new motor mounts and trans mounts, new belts and tune up,

    2011
    car sat for abit been working alot of hrs an spend time with the family
    income tax i had the car repainted









    shortly after the paint i went crazy
    eibach pro springs
    cai (ebay) lol
    tires
    axle back exhaust (ebay)
    new foglights and HIDs







    as of right now im am really happy with it, went to a car meet and ppl were like "i never seen a good looking Galant like your", made me really happy inside

    right now im done, gona save up and start a collection of new mods/parts
    i am goning todo a 5speed swap and rear disc conversion, and put new struts on. thats my goal before aug
    as soon as i sell the saturn ill have enough to get what i need

    Did you get the whole car painted? That rear bumper seems as if it is a different color. Other than that, good start and hope to see more.

    yea the whole car was repainted, i had to order a new rear bumper and the body shop didnt primer it like they did the car, the rear bumper was flat black and rdy for paint, thats y its darker then the rest of the car, one day after work im gona go to them and bitch about it and hopefully they will repaint it, butt its gona be a pain to match the rest of the car, so i might be stuck with it unless i get jdm parts......

    its already lowerd on stock struts, look at the time stamp on the pics that are 3/27/2011
    when i installed the eibach springs i noticed i needed more parts and i already had the struts apart
    car has some bounce to it more in the rear, had no choice to install the springs with no rear spring seats witch is giving me camber.
    front struts should be here friday

    cmon im sure u can rig the next give away... lol

    any who stop by the paint shop who painted the car and its going in for another paint job, reason is the paint is flaking on the front bumper and chipping in a few areas, also that rear bumper too, its all under warrenty witch wont cost me a dime,

    Looks like regular gloss black to me. Plasti-Dip is textured and matte looking.

    ^well it depends how much you use for plasti dip, I've had my trim peices look smooth as glass, its just rubbery when you touch it. But true on the matte part lol
