Re: my GD project
Not sure what path I should take from here.... Do I go 2.6 or just put a little money into the 4G32b? Im thinking I might just get a carb and exhaust for the 4G32 at the moment and go for 2.6 down the track. I found a 32/36 DGAV on gumtree for cheap (Im willing to learn how to rebuild it) but I've g...

Re: GD rat
I'd be lying if I said that not an almost exact match for the green sprayed on A6m zeroes during ww2, it'd look awesome mocked up to match.. few rising suns here and there. Some exposed rivets etc.

Re: my GD project
Is there a spotted thread anywhere on here?? Took her out today (drove approx. 350km) around the place. As I was nearing home I spotted a white gc with stickers on the back window just out of littlehampton. Thought it might belong to someone here.. pretty happy with how the car ran, no overheating o...

Re: my GD project
What's the deal re belt drive vs chain drive? Obviously this car has a belt drive (and runs like a dream) but would a chain drive be better? At the very least this one needs to lose pollution gear and get a well designed exhaust

Re: my GD project
Got all the polishing done today and re fitted most of the bits and pieces. Doorhandles/locks and door trims to be fitted later (more than likely tonight).. Then glass in and she's done! Finally! Im probably going to pay someone to put the glass in unless anyone has any shortcuts..

Re: my GD project
Ok so it's all painted up. The colour is amazing, though I think is a few shades lighter than the original. I put down 3 primer coats, followed by 4 colour coats (total approx. 2 litres of paint) and 5 clear coats. Doing the final hit with 1200 followed by 2000 wet and dry after work tomorrow. I got...

Wow, it's been a long time since I've been on here... Well the car sat untouched for a good 2 years but its finally happening and will more than likely be finished within the week.

Re: my GD project
well i picked up my wheels today, tried to put one on but found that i dont have a socket with thin enough walls to fit in the holes on the wheels. What would the best solution to this problem be? i figure a trip to u-pull-it and get some sigma wheelnuts? i need smaller ones basically, or an extreme...

Re: my GD project
well i found a set of polished pepperpots on gumtree with new tires for cheap so i got around those, and they will now be the end game wheels for the galant. if they dont look good i guess i'll just get something else.
Thanks, Billy.
Thanks, Billy.
