Good progress Keith! Cant w8 too see this with the paintjob finished :D
Thanks man! Do you like the old style fogs? I can't wait to see it painted and with side skirts. I believe the skirts and the mirrors are the only jdm parts I need to do the complete body swap.
lol thanks bro. I try very hard when it comes to working on cars I like. My entire weekend is dedicated to the car when I'm home. Maybe since It'll be nice out, I'll skip out an hour and take the dirt bike out.
It would take us too long probably. You'd have to bring a friend so we can sand the entire car in 4-5 hours. That's probably an accurate guess for sanding alone.

You and me both!! I just ordered my hood too. I'm pretty excited now.
lol! My friends tried to pull me away from my car with bottles of my favorite drinks. I almost gave in haha. No time when perfection is the goal
What does everyone thing about a gunmetal grey engine bay? It would be a dark metallic grey.

Can't wait to see it finished Keith. If I am this excited. I can only imagine how you are feeling.
I'll be swinging shorts around. I honestly can't wait to be in a jdmish galant again. I was so happy when I put my 3rd gen tails on during my first accident with the old g. Looking at this bone stock g, I just went to town ripping all that off lol.
When my g was a 5spd, I had a sense of pride that no one around me had a 5spd galant. When I pull out of gas stations with other g's in it and go from a rev to a gradual go. That was ultimate satisfaction for me.
Can't wait to have that feeling again. Rotor glow orange will throw a nice twist in it for me I think.
Now thats a plan! I'll make sure the party is walking distance lol.
Going to take you all spring to get a friend!? haha jk! I should be all settled in by then. After paint I'll be working on the small stuff that makes me mad about this car. Summers a good time because I'm out of school and all. So if you really wanted to get something like this going, let me know.

This is an awesome thread.. Great job..
lol last I saw, your g was already real clean! Honestly though, I need to have the time and the will power to do it. I'd love to help out a fellow galant owner though.
I can't wait to out-do myself again =) Hopefully that will be this year.
Wouldn't be the first time. Which was one of the best party's I've ever had lol.
Thanks! I hope it turns out as good as I think its going to be. Can't wait to show it off at our ny/nj meets.
Every weekend all weekend =)

I'd drive it to you preped any way you needed it preped, of course until I get there to tape off anything else
I would totally support you opening a paint shop if everyone else did the preping, you just tell them what needs to be done prior, im sure 90% of people would choose to save money to do the prep work

I'll be taking it down to bare metal (again lol). I'm tired of the red, I want some different now.
