Re: Drum brake parts?
Lancer Hatch and Galant wagons have larger rear drums than the normal Galants and Lancers.
That would be why there are different parts.

Re: Marty's GA Build
Very nice Marty,
Loving the look of this, just a simple lowering job and nice set of wheels is all these need to make them look good
How far do you think you'll go with paint? Whole car, or just try to patch up and blend any repair areas?

I've always thought a turbo diesel in an early Commodore would be a good swap also.

Probably easier to just get a complete wiring loom from one that hasn't been cut then to try and go through the harness trying to refit a fuse box to it.
Surely there are a few out there with a wiring harness from one they've stripped?

Very Nice, Glad you have it up and running again Charlie.
What's the final set up you settled with?
13b or 12a?
Nice rims BTW too.
Looks like 77galantv6 and I will need to go for a cruise with you soon.

Although I can't help you with the info you seek, that's a tidy looking Lancer and sounds like a build worth watching.

The red would depend on the final colour of the car but it's easy enough to change it if need be. Funny you say that. Ferg loves these rims and the colour of them, so much so, body colour choice has just been changed to accommodate them. I stopped in to look at them on the way home form work today....
