Re: Hi all
Hi Dave, I am going with the original colour for both those reasons. It is the original colour, and I have kinda fell in love with it. I like to be different, not follow trends or whatnot. Chargers need to be a bright colour, and Vitamin C and a few other colours have been done to death. As for the ...

Re: Hi all
Thanks Jason, I am following a bit of an 80's theme with this car. For those around my age almost 40, remember the cars that used to be featured in Street Machine & Performance Street Car back in the early 80's. That is the look I am going for. Totally Old School, it won't appeal to everyone, bu...

Re: Hi all
Bought some 15x8.5 inch Jellybeans for the car, am going to swap 2 with a mate, for 2 15x7's for the front. Will still keep the Centrelines as well, I just want to change the look from time to time. These wheels never saw the road, they were bought for an XY Falcon show car, and were never used. The...

Re: Hi all
Are you staying with the white Pete? If so, what colour/name white are you choosing? I am going to paint the car the original colour, Pampas/Acid green. Most of you will be familiar with this colour, was used on a lot of GC/GD Galants in the 70's. This is a pic of what the colour looks like on a Ch...

Re: Hi all
The roof was bogged pretty bad, around where the electric sunroof was fitted. Gives me an excuse to put another roof on, I hate sunroofs. http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z398/charger340/P1140578.jpg http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z398/charger340/P1140583.jpg http://i1187.photobucket.com/alb...

Re: Mic_77 Galant coupe
What a tough little coupe Mic, would love to see an update. Like where you are going with it, pro street style, my Charger is being built that way. Similar colour too, I am painting mine the original Pampas/Acid green, which was available on Galant's also. Nice work Mic.

Re: GH Factory Sigma Turbo #292
Great thread, I remember looking at the GH Sigma Turbo and Wherrett specials, when they first come out in the showrooms. I have always liked them. That car of yours is in very good condition, please keep the updates coming, great work.

Hi Dave, I saw that car in the Galant garage pics, I tell you what, It looks a lot like it. My father bought our GC Galant wagon brand new from Austral Motors Chrysler Mermaid Beach/Gold Coast on March 26 1976. So the car had Chrysler, not Valiant badges (changeover). It was immaculate when he trade...

Re: Hi all
Yeah mate, the Cennies hammer. I missed out on 2 Galants on Ebay which was disappointing, then the Centura came up. Couldn't knock it back.
