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.

Re: Project 71
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?

Re: Project 71
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...

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...

Re: Project 71
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

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