    Thanks
    It gets lower, Rear end is blocked up on wood to be able to move it (It would be on the ground if it wasnt)
    front is almost all the way down (up some so it doesnt crush the body kit)

    Welcome !!

    you can use this http://www.autotoys.com/x/product.ph...448#tabsanchor for the infinity amp...

    Those rims are awful

    As for the infinity amp you don't have to remove it( haters speak up now)
    the outputs on the aftermarket deck just go to the inputs on the infinity unit. As it stands it seems I am the only one to ever do it so from EXPERIENCE it works an you wont have any problems

    AND the haters will say yu can't tun it you don't need to the unit takes the 4 outputs of the aftermarket deck and splits it into the appropriate number of channels putting highs mids and lows all in there place and the balance fade and equalizer functions of the aftermarket unit will all still work
    Shout out to anyone that still uses hand tools for their work

    Maybe your broke maybe your old school

    my eyes hurt from those cookie dish wheels xD

    Welcome to TGC! Looks like it needs some minor body work in the back and a mirror on the driver side. Other than that, it could look really nice.

    Any idea what you want to do to it?

    You mean the preouts on the aftermarket head unit? or the actual speaker outs? The stock stereo doesnt use rca outs, so how would I do it if i use the rca preouts?

    Welcome to TGC! Looks like it needs some minor body work in the back and a mirror on the driver side. Other than that, it could look really nice.

    Any idea what you want to do to it?
    Yup, rear body kit was molded to the body, and the front body kit needs fiberglassing and installed (its just kind of chilling in front of the car right now lol) (Looks like it might of been ripped off the front of the two fenders at one point, not sure how im going to re-install but havnt had much time to look into it)

    Plans are finishing the body work, paint, new rims LOL, install a stereo and start on the interior. I want door poppers but no welder right now so i wont be able to fill in the handles (Nor do i know who makes fill plates for a galant)

    Main thing is to get the rear air struts repaired and back on (Will be sent out after the holidays) and hopefully just by driving around the idle will get better (been reading and it seems as if when the batts disconnected it F's with the idle and you need to drive it on the highway to fix it)
