Welcome back, love the lift on the new one
Been awile but I finally decided to rebuild another 8G. Those that might remember me this was my old Galant...
Until this happened...

And I had to say good bye...

Well I am bored again and at this point of time in my life I am living comfortable... my buddy was going to sell donate his car but instead I told him I would buy it off of him for $500 and now I got this 8G...
*missingpicture*
So new car means new build thread and plenty of time wasting around these parts!
Edit: 11/11/15
So kind of a sad story... it took the passing away of a great member hear VegasMatt in order for me to remember about TGC. Looks like I got some threads to update so I guess I will start on this one first. I will update the OP with the missing pictures when I got time to look over my back ups. In the mean time...
I bought another Galant. Still got the POS silver one that I posted in the OP but it either has a blown head gasket or something is wrong with the cooling system. When I purchased the car for only $500 I knew it had a overheating problem so no surprise there. Started to drain the coolant and it is brown as fuck. Oil is not mayo so still figuring it out.
While I was figuring things out another OG member that I still keep in touch with... in fact I was the best man at his wedding was Nick... also known around here as either 300dragonle or Messiah. He buys a new car and they where only going to offer him $580 as trade in value for his 2002 Galant ES with premium package. He didn't want to trade it in at that value with all the hard work he put into it and he knew I still have a passion for these cars so he made me a deal I couldn't refuse.
Here it is...
Here is what I know has been done that I can remember.
2002 ES
Window Tint 5% rear and 35% front
Injen CAI (black)
KYB AGX with Progress Springs
17" Tenzo-R Passion5
3rd Gen JDM Tails
Catz MSC fog lights
Catz 8000k Hi-Lo HID
AC Autotechnic S7 gauges
Front brake conversion to a dual piston from a V6 3G.
Converted rear from drums to disc from a 99 GST.
Alot more done to it besides that. He kept things pretty simple but used quality parts. Really took care of this car. When I get the chance I will post new pictures and have a complete list of all that has been done to it.

Good to see there are still a few of us old guys around/coming back. I'm excited to see what you build this time around!

Currently on my 3rd 8G... Not giving up this time!
Welcome back dude!
EDIT: What are your plans with this 8G?
For now nothing too fancy... alot of the money is going towards car audio. Style will be real simple... JDM front end, 2G JDM tails. M5 lip spoiler. Drop on Tien and KYB GR-2's. Injen intake if they still make it and Greddy exhaust and of course wheels. Have decided on what style just yet... That will be stage 1... after that who knows what I might do...
Welcome back! Nice little car you have there.
