Re: Grandpa spec 1975 GC Galant. 2.6 ltr conversion.

I think I like it with the white walls. The mags look good but the rest of the car is too stock. I think widened stockies with full trims would be the way to go. Seen the pics of the metalic GD sedan? the paint is awesome but the wide stockies set it off. Yeh looks better with the hubbies and white...

Re: 5LTR into Galant?

I assume you're asking if you can rego it, because you can fit anything you want in there (if you've got the skills). What state are you in? If you're in NSW read this if you want to rego it http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/downloads/vsi/vsi_06_-_guidelines_for_light_vehicle_modifications_nov...
