Ready to be blocked and then painted. Might be getting a roady/rego without the guard painted thou...

Yeah i was very suprised with how its coming up. Certainly has been resprayed on a few panels at some point in acrylic or enamel without a clear over base spray...
If only it wasn't becoming my daily i would just respray it in something wicked.. Nonetheless i'm so keen to get into this old girl!

yeah looks like it was progressing quite well! keen to see where it goes now. So the original colour is the one shown in the earlier photos i'm assuming? Should look nice with a fresh lick of paint! Love new paint..

thanks jason. so keen to get this beast on the road and enjoy driving it! Then the fun will begin after rego with some nice little goodies for it.

Here are some more photos of the old girl and its current condition. http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m412/xTUExxDEiViONx/DSCF0046_zpsc156d3d1.jpg http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m412/xTUExxDEiViONx/DSCF0045_zps0a955bcc.jpg http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m412/xTUExxDEiViONx/DSCF0044_zpse092...

very good to hear that mate! i still can't make my mind up on what to pour the most money into out've four cars... /car problems.

ohh it makes more sense now, no worries at all. Yeah i will have to check it out one time when i'm down south a bit more.. (4hrs north of brisbane).

yeah i know that.. obviously a battery being relocated to the rear would need to be vented to atmosphere anyway to be legal. each to their own.

could be hopes and dreams but might be a reality depending on coin in the future. also the f20c's are good in boosted form! seen quite a few f20c's pushing out over 500hp on a stock bottom end. They are basically the 2j of the Honda engine lineup. Turboing a honda motor is where the real fun is at h...

I've got a h22a vtec and manual from a prelude which was my old project where now i'm ditching the shell but keeping the motor and gearbox.... don't give me ideas to mate it to a s2000 gearbox and drop it in the galant! lol.

not taking a chop or anything mate, but would it have been better to relocate the battery to the boot for more engine space or is it to much hassle overall?

Managed to get the lowers completely welded in, skim of bog applied and just need to get it flat as possible after Christmas.. Then time to high fill prime, block, repeat until good and spray the guard finally. Then its time for a roadworthy! Oh one other thing i have to fix is the drivers side wind...

Well if your keen, then i'm keen to! I'll definitely be trying to get my gc galant on the road even in its current condition just so i can take it to the event. surely theres got to be more people in qld interested, only a few months away now.

thanks guys! yeah is certainly a plus it runs and starts so quick.. very happy with the pickup. and i'm not going the extreme boso you see on a few cars in the motherland.. simply going for heaps of low, hang ring, deep dish 14" wheels, small boso pipes etc. with the current laws in this countr...

certainly looks like a tight fit but looks like it works! what size turbo you going to be running on this? main reason i ask is if i was to do a 4g63t conversion in the future into my gc galant i was wondering if whether people putting some decent horsepower to the ground decided to reinforce their ...

any more progress mr childs?

really need to drop around and see this beast in person...

Hey Guys, I thought it was about time i made my own build thread on my recently acquired 1975 GC Galant. Picked this old girl up for a bargain! Originally resided in the Brisbane area also! Now once the galant had arrived to my place i had to inspect it in person for my self. Had a good old look aro...

seen the photos on facebook.. but i know the feeling of having your car resprayed with new paint! just finished spraying my x32 cressida not long ago and damn new paint makes a car so alive! good stuff!!

damn that looks good mate. keep up the good progress!

Simply just run a 4g63t sohc motor from a starion as they're pretty cheap and still fairly easy to find.. and cause you have the wideblock you can run the starion gearbox or even a rx7 box once you get the right bellhousing adaptor. Also if you wanted to.. running the starion block you can also put ...

Hey Guys, Just seeing if anyone is going to be attending this event in February next year? I hope to be attending either entering my mx32 or possibly the gc if its registered in time. So keen to see some fellow older japanese classics.. Unsure of the date as of yet.. but its usually on a sunday and ...

i've tried to deal with retro garage jason, simply got one reply with a few pictures of lips and bolt on flares they can supply.. then i asked for a price and what not and since they haven't replied, not happy with their service to say the least.

Good work with the project for the sister! my sister has a 120y which she just obtained and finding some hidden things she was hoping wasn't there (i think you know what i'm referring to).. offered my services to help her so we"ll see how that goes :P. End of the day you feel like you can't ref...

I certainly don't mind the rat look that's for sure, just got to pull it off well is all. I would be saying to get it as low as possible with some fat 8" wide wheels or wider and it would look certainly unique. Amazing how a set of wheels and the stance of a vehicle can really make it stand out...

As stated on Facebook previously; * Fix the damage * Get it painted (i like the idea of grey, but i would go down more the R32 GTR gunmetal Grey side) * Low on some Jap 14's like an SSR or Work wheel (if that suits brake wise) * Stroke the 4G63 and fit ITB's * Fit kameari GT seats (look them up if ...

yeah diy work for the win! keep at it mate.

it is very handy to have a car which is mobile so you can do other things on the car like the bodywork etc.. i'm lucky mine is running good and mobile so i can do exactly that. props to the build and keen to see it in full motion!

start of next year sounds good for a bigger cruise! gives me a bit of time to get this gc of mine a very well overdue tidy up as i won't have enough time for a full respray lol. keen to see others though as i can't find many pictures of the interwebs for inspiration and ideas!

Essentially i prefer to sand all the clear off a "clear over base" sprayjob. Doesn't necessarily need to go back to primer or metal otherwise i would just paintstrip it all. Simply once you have repaired what you wanted to.. etch prime, then lay down a proper primer surfacer or high fill p...

i chuckled at that ^. well played sir.

on a serious note.. i would love to get my hands on any sort've lip to fit my gc galant! need to get this boso look happening.
