'78 Colt Lancer
I guess you can officially call me a hoarder now. This makes Colt number three and Mitsubishi number 6. I followed this car for sale on Craigslist in SoCal for a while and at his original asking price I could not justify it. But after enough waiting and bugging, I got it down enough to justify shipp...

Re: '74 Colt Galant sedan restomod
I do not know much about it other than what I was told buy the guy I got it from. It came off of a 2.0 Astron 4G52/G52B so I am reasonably certain it will fit my car. The car it came from had a pair of webbers on it, but not sure of the size. Like I said, I do not know much about this, but the set c...

Re: '74 Colt Galant sedan restomod
Admittedly I am not a carb expert. But...I decided early on I wanted this car on a nice set of dual side drafts.

Re: '74 Colt Galant sedan restomod
Finally got the trunk open. I will need a new latch if anyone has one available!.

Re: '74 Colt Galant sedan restomod
ok, so kind of a good/bad weekend for the '74. Jacked it up to pull the wheels off and throw my other set on.. A. so I could see if they fit...and B.. because the tires on it were nothing short of magic in the fact that they still held air.... For example.... https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5599/1564...

Re: 82 Challenger
What a strange place for it to rust! At least its an easy repair...just bolt on a new door. Looking forward to seeing this cleaned up and some nice pics.

Re: '74 Colt Galant sedan restomod
Finally got some time to clean up under the hood. .....holy crap, I am VERY happy so far. Still needs some scrubbing with a smaller brush in the crevices, but I will take this for now. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3935/15460728051_1249dfc872_c.jpg 20141006_183948 by braddesantis , on Flickr https:...

Re: New from the States Two Colts and a Sapporo
Nice collection you have there BradD. I'm glad to see that Sapporo is still in the hands of someone who cares. Dave... Thanks, it is and will be as long as I am around. It was actually featured in an american magazine this past year. Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car; March of 2014 . Was pretty psyche...

Re: '74 Colt Galant sedan restomod
Finally finished cleaning up the outside this weekend as well. Clearly at some point, something happened to this door, definitely a repaint! https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3886/15389873821_43c93e4967_c.jpg 20140928_104850 by braddesantis , on Flickr https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3857/15370022146_e8...

'74 Colt Galant sedan restomod
So I found this car over on the Classic Colt forums and it was offered up for scrap prices or it was to be crushed. I thought that despite its appearance in the photos if it truly had the less than 11k miles claimed and was really stuffed in a garage for years, there was no way I could see it be cru...

New from the States Two Colts and a Sapporo
New around here, from the US. Have a few old Mitsu's. I have the junk yard rescue Sapporo that Forrest found a few years back in SoCal, then it went to my friend Chris (who I think was on here briefly) and about two years ago I bought it from him and will probably never sell! https://farm8.staticfli...
