Update........shes been put on hold :banh: me and the better half have just purchased and moved into our first house :\ we are out of my parents house at least but obviously all the overtime i was previously killing for the gto is now being consigned to the house! At least when she demanded the gara...

Glad to see you back on it buddy!!! Keep up the good work!

Hi 02Anders, I've only just read your thread, as shelbygto has pointed out there is a minter in NZ, there is an article on that car, it's had a lot of love and care go on that, being professionally restored by mitsubishi themselves and is in near perfect condition! there are a few more in NZ around ...

Strip lights for the A57C's is a definate, although trim does appear to vary!

My stock lights came with a black surround although other models appear to have chrome surrounds,

I prefer the chrome so whilst Affa is restoring me a set i've gone chrome with those

ok guys, bit of help/guidance please, I was splitting down the rear axle section the other day for shot blasting, the drive shafts that run through the axle, do i disconnect them from inside the lsd? or should they just pull out? want to remove them so i can get the brake covers off! trying to split...

the shot blasting has done a pretty good job of getting everything off,
the next step is cutting out the bad bits and making an easy patch hole,
then after it's been repaired it will be galvanised before powder coated!

Ok so here's a pic of the shot blasted skid pan, shows the extent of repair needed http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u543/partyboyjay/WP_000462_zps90cb202b.jpg And here's some progress pics :D powdercoated headlight units! Just sourcing the stainless screws and springs, then get some new headlight...

Ok, so I've got my first load back from the shot blasters, few pieces need repairing, will get some pics up soon, so most of that load will be off to powder coaters this week, and the second and final batch is nearly ready for shot blasters: http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u543/partyboyjay/WP_00...

Unreal Jay, who was it at CCC that did it for you was it Andy Veitch? No idea who it was! Just contacted Mitsubishi motors uk on Facebook, talked to them about my build, showed them pictures and stuff, they took a real interest which I was really proud of :$ I still had to pay for it mind but I was...

Great present arrived from Mitsubishi (I say present! I had to pay something!) Can't thank them enough as this is going to be a MAJOR help upon rebuild and during resto! http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u543/partyboyjay/WP_000438_zpsdbfeefac.jpg http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u543/partyboyja...

I would be getting it dipped before starting anything I am a little worried about losing the shape a bit though, especially on the rear light fittings, don't think there's going to be much left there, should I make templates before the dip? Is that a wise decision? Would love to live anywhere over ...

After seeing the rust in this car and a few others in the UK, if I ever hear an Australian complain about the heat or the sun I will straight up bitch slap them. I would like a nicer less harmful climate in all honesty! Too wet here, then the roads are coated with so much rubbish over the winter! M...

Ok, so more work done, and more pieces taken off! Removed all the wiring from the boot, the fuel pump and associated pieces, the steering column, brake cylinder and front sub frame so the front end is completely empty now (except a little fuel line!) http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u543/partyboy...

recomendations please guys

i'm going to re-coat the wiring loom, what type of tape should i be using? adhesive, non adhesive? self amalgamating? cloth tape or insulation???

sooo many!

Pictures! We need pictures!!!

As far as I'm aware the 2.6 turbo starion engine is as good as dammit a bolt in job, diabolu over here in the uk did that to his, granted there are little mode to the gearbox etc but the engine itself wriggles itself in just fine from what I've read

Let's have some pictures of the beauty!!!

First lot of parts organised and sent off to shotblasters, then repair time, then powdercoaters

I wouldn't worry too much about an original battery clamp. the clamp i aren't that bothered about, but would be nice to get a heat shield for it, does anyone know if they were just for the gto? or did other galant models have the same? if they did would they fit the gto? and does anybody have one o...

Here is the factory battery tray/ heat shield anyone know if these were just stock on the gto's? or were compatable ones also on other models??? I am looking for one thats all, and have just missed out on one in NZ! :@ so if they are compatable between models, anyone have a spare??? also need the c...

Tell me that you have labelled where everything goes on that harness? That is where I actually did something right for a change :D Every time I came to disconnecting a wire I took a photo of where it was, then I've bought these cable ties with flat label areas where I can write on, I labelled up 2 ...

Ok guys so another half days work on it, I'm now in no rush as I've decided to dip the shell and the whole process from dip to e-coat is around £3000, so saving time! TA-DA!!!! http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u543/partyboyjay/WP_000405_zps7657014a.jpg Managed to get pretty much everything out of...

you don't know how to remove the centre of the steering wheel to expose it? This is my issue, the cap spins but doesn't twist off, ill look and see about edging it off next time cheers Dave, The instrument panel should come out first Is that just held in by the 4 screws in the top of the panel? As ...

Need a bit of help please guys, I can't figure out how to remove my steering wheel or my dash????

Feel like such a retard!

You are talking about going for the primer coating at the end as well aren't you? Yeah I'd be doing the dip, then the e-coat seal, then the primer, think they call it a 4 stage process, the dip, clean, electro magnetic seal, then finally the primer, so the interior should be sealed after the e-coat...

Ok guys first day back at it, went down and had 4 hours today, soon passes when your having fun lol! So with a little help I managed to get the windscreen out, drive shaft off, and the engine and gearbox have been removed!!! YAY!!! Here's some pics: http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u543/partyboyj...

What exactly do you want from the engine work? just sprucing up or full on every part stripped and repainted? I'd like it as clean as possible, stripped and re painted sounds like a lot of work and money! Pros and cons for this vs sprucing up??? I've been looking at this site http://www.aloh.co.uk/...

right guys it's been a while since i've had any time for the car as my new job kind of took priority (especially with the new shift pattern!) anyway i'm on my last day today with my 10 day shift break so heres a little update on the plan for easter work: Picking up an engine hoist tomorrow so hopefu...

Here is the factory battery tray/ heat shield. Yeah I dont have one of those, but may be able to get one, didn't know if what I had was stock, I just have a simple rectangular top clamp to hold battery in place! No shield for it! Looks like the only other viable option is to hunt down a good second...

This is just the support frame. I can take a photo of the factory tray/heat shield if you like. That would be handy please buddy The radio fascia looks like it's electroplated. Not much you're going to be able to do with that except get it replated. How, who, where would I get something like that d...

oh, and the battery tray, anyone know if its supposed to be welded in place? seems a bit odd?
