Re: my 77 galant v6

As far as I am aware no.
Reading through the new legislation, it couldn't be done.

The 0 offset would be better as they would mean that the Tim would be further away from the strut and then less chance of clashes that way...

Re: 8" wide rims????? Good or bad???

I run 8's on a galant and that fits. Its all about offset.
You should be fine, just need to do some measurements.
For a while I had 9's on the rear and 8.5's on the front and had no issues....

No wagon purchases, and definitely no V6 powered wagons. They aren't legal anymore in Galants. Mine is the one and only V6 powered 70's Galant in NSW (possibly Aus). Well, I was trying to update this thread last night anyway but for some reason I could not upload photos. Anyway, what I was going to ...

You will only need to get engineers cert for emissions measures and possibly braking capacity.

Re: Best motor

Fitting is snug. As most of the people who have seen my car would say, its very tight. The hardest part was the new trans tunnel to fit the V6 manual box. To get the motor in or out, it has to be done from the underside (eg. shell over the top of the motor). http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/650/2013...

Re: Best motor

In the end it comes down to whatever comes up. The only reason mine has a V6 is because a mate crashed his commodore (typical) And he offered it to me for a great price. What you need to do is create a "hit list" of engines or cars (that contain said engine) and then wait till one comes up...

There's only 2 types of GD grill (mine or the Jap spec)
The hardtop was for both GC and GD.....

Maybe they failed so bad with the GC that they said there were never going back to it?

You could also find a GT grill from an American Colt?
I know a certain wagon owner that has one.....
