    .:Eriksson:. - Galant V6-97 - Project

    Hello!

    Now it's time for me to start a project thread.
    Here you have my first thread in which it is a little info about me and some pictures that have happened to the car before I started this thread ..


    https://www.thegalantcenter.org/showthread.php?t=46997


    The galants are known to rust in the rear wheelarches.
    I started to fix the rust right away!

    Before:


    New one:



    Sanded and primed:


    Finished:


    Painted Skirts, Bumper and Spoiler




    The bumper is on!
    Skirts and spoiler will be mounted tomorrow!

    Hope you like it!
    The thread will be updated!

    /Anton Eriksson

    Good stuff! X2 on the hot glue though, it may not hold up to any foul weater.

    You don't think so?
    What else should I use?
    My friend used hot glue on his bumper.
    And for him the glue has hold up perhaps 1 year.

    I'm not sure what it's called, when I bought my 3g it had a similar grill on it and it was held on with a different substance, it hardened and it was yellow in color. Maybe a 2-part epoxy. Ex. JB Weld

    Okok! We'll see if it holds or not.
    Otherwise it is just to redo! :)

    Eriksson no offense and I know it's OT, but I can't help notice you look like one of the guys from Mr.Mister (Richard Page as a youngster) Then I begin to sing their hit song 'broken wings'

    It's very uncomfortable to work on the driveway .. But we have no room in the garage right now .. : (
    The wheel arches are bought at a parts store called "Mekonomen" I think I bought two for a total of about 1500SEK (235USD)

    One little update
    I could unfortunately not mount the skirts and the spoiler today.
    I need the help of Dad. one must keep the skirts while the second adjusts them.
    Will take it on Sunday..

    I mounted on the sports seats instead!
    Fit perfectly on the original brackets.
    Fitment 95%. I needed almost not modify anything!

    Today I mounted the sport seats in the car!
    The result:





    I had to do some brackets...


    Now I'll just fix the rest of the leather interior, like door panels and rear seat.
    I will paint all the gray plastic parts to black as well.

    More updates to come tomorrow!
