Hi All,

two questions

1. Will GC front gaurds fit a GA, silly question I know; but worth asking.

2. Does anyone know of a company in Australia that has fibre glass front gaurds for GA?

Thanks.

I was told there is a place in Canberra that sells fibre glass front quarters and bonnets for the GA, does anyone know of this place or a similar place?

I am new to this and unsure of what materials I need in terms of metal thickness and type and would like your help and helpful tips before I do any work, from cutting it out to preparation to the welding. Cut away all affected areas Match the thickness of the steel to the existing shape steel to ma...

Hi Shuggy,

Thats what i was happy about, I am hoping that the entire rust issue will be an almost non event considering these are the only two spots; however I am wondering how far up it is going...

yesterday afternoon i decided it was time to find out how deep the rabbit hole goes regarding the rust on the bottom of the quarters, I remove the front guards which was a huge effort; the glue stuff they used was made to last! As you can see I am already giving the GA the red carpet treatment! http...

Hi All, My first free time in two weeks since returning to work and i thought i would provide an update on the status and thoughts I have had. The rust work will cost me approx $400.00 (that includes new bottom quarters) the rust would be cut from the bottom of the quarters and plated up; considerin...

They are a flat pedal with 2 plastic clips at the base that clip onto a rod that protrudes from the floor, thru the carpet. It makes for a really neat look. Be careful intalling (and even more careful removing) it. The clips are delicate - put a bit of detergent or grease on the rod to help it slid...

Thanks for the info, I will take a picture of the Pedal (borrowed from a GB) for you to view soon.

Thanks

the RTA are constant obstacles to my joy latley...

Thinking of getting one of these hood ornaments when i have the car completed



or

still a little way to go, I need an accelerator pedal, mirror fitted, blue slip (fix what it finds), pink slip (fix what it finds) and rego, 1-2 months.

During my two week holiday I have made some serious progress. Placing the Galant on car stands and removing the wheels then changing doors over and replacing glass corners was a first step http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt272/Project71/DSCF1076.jpg http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt272/Projec...

Ball joints cost me $57.00 ea and have been pressed in.

I will provide an update post soon with Pictures.

Did an oil change on the galant, new king springs on the GH Sigma struts; 2 x new brake lines picked up ($80) Waiting on new rubbers for front end and after closer inspection the control arm ball joints need replacing as they are full of dirt/grit unsure of their cost but am unsure with current comm...

wired a push button switch to the starter motor today and with ignition on the 1.3L and it turns over instantly, brilliant :) - still a problem between the two i was told it might be a relay, tonight research and tomorrows task is find out what a relay is :hit: Thanks Wheelnut for the assistance in ...

The calipers have been sent off to be sand blasted, I managed to get a complete brake line off the car with some assistance and a pair of multigrips; I have taken the break line into get two made up for $44.00 each. :facepalm: Having some trouble with the ignition and starter motor, hopefully resolv...

Priced tie rods and other misc parts for the steering, end cost is $200.00 from repco which i think is good pricing; have someone chasing cheaper pricing Dropped off the front GA calipers off to a brake and clutch company, roughly $120.00 per front caliper to get them recon. $25.00 for a wheel cylin...

I will take the book with me tomorrow to these places and see what they want to charge, thanks!

Moved house this weekend and now have a dedicated project space. My lower front end is in focus now, i think this is a good time to update my plan for my GA. At this time there is a brake issue which I will be taking my old calipers to a brake specialist to recon, depending on price. I am aiming to ...

Nice, I will thank you.

colta51 wrote:is it just me or are thay corolla head lamps?

I don't know, i was wondering just this afternoon if they were the original type; can any one shed some light? (no pun intended)

I like them they look good, but are rather dull yellow at night.

Not at this stage thanks mate, I have a spare engine in parts minus the head, I am after a GH Sigma 2.0L (cheap < free) for use in this project car.

The front right brake caliper is "stuck on" i'm told it is seized but the wheel still moves slowly, i suspect its grabbing more than it should, does anyone have a link that shows how to unseize it as i was hoping to re register the car so i can drive it to places for works or quotes etc

Just picked up three doors to replace mine, swap job.

Slow and steady the project is starting.

Is this an OK deal?

I'm still waiting for a reply from the seller, also depends on postage costs.

Is a 5 speed borgy Gear box for $50.00 to suit an astron 2.0L going to fit my GA Galant?
