Re: GD Galant Rally Car rebuild
It's has been a long while since I posted The Galant is very close to finished and we're just sorting out some teething issues that all newly rebuilt cars get. A lot man hours put in, but all worth it in the end. I'll let pictures do the talking. http://i1250.photobucket.com/albums/hh532/HitchysGala...

Re: [VIC] Hanging Rock Classic Car Show 9th Feb 2014
Hi ShelbyGTO, Your GTO looks pretty clean, as you describe it may not be a 'show car' but at this event is mainly attended by cars that have been driven there under their own power, very few if any 'show cars' trailered in. Just about everything there is streetable/registered. As you described it's ...

Thanks for the info Simon, If 2.3l is the limit than that's still pretty good, currently car is fitted with 4g32 and which can be maxed out to about 1850cc, which is probably fine for the earlier and smaller GA -GB Galants, and LA/LB Lancers but with bigger body of GC-GD series probably not going to...

Re: GD Galant Rally Car rebuild
Struts are from a Scorpion, castor is achieved by adjusting rear rod end in or out, therefore changing angle wishbone, camber by adjusting front and rear in or out, do bulk of adjust at the wishbone, then fine tune via the strut tops. If you take a look at the photo above of the bare strut installed...

Great build,
Looks awesome
That roll cage is basically exactly the same as what in my GD Galant Rally.
She'll almost be too good rally once you've finished.

Hi Mick, I'm running Starion 14 x 6 Rims all round with either 185 road tyres or 175 rally tyres. The increased track front and rear of the scorpion 4 wheel disc set up and the increased offset of the starion wheels (+18 opposed to +24) has me right on the limit of tyre width. I've had to role the r...
