..... looks like a sports pack, dunno how "rare" that is , if you are going to fit sports seats and an anchortron it really doesnt matter , if your going to restore it to new stock it might be a good thing if thats what you want, modify it and you loose the "rareness"

Its a factory rally pack.

There pretty rare. I went interstate for mine, mostly because its so rust free. I figure its a good spare shell if i ever need it and the rally pack thing is cool too.

Heres a crappy photo of my one.

front and rear bumpers are really hard to find for these cars, i have had plently of trouble finding half deent ones for my gd coupe and wagon. as for indicatro lenses there were a set of good ones on ebay recently going cheap.

Also whats with the chain going from the firewall to your oil cap?

i really need to say this "you bastard" :lol:

i tried to buy that galant every week from when i was 16 thru to about 24,
but the old guy that had it would never part with it, i think he had it from brand spankers :shock:

it got offered to me later on, but i was out of the galants at that stage and didnt buy it
i knew deep down i should have - cos i always knew i would be back :mrgreen:

where bouts are you? im in risdon vale, we should meet up and shoot the breeze
i will be offline for a while cos i still got no net, but shoot me a pm anyways and we will catch up sometime

the old fellows sister told him to sell it i just put a wanted valiant ad on ebay and she rang and said the old fellow will bring it down for me
i mostly collect valiants and charger but this one came up for a bit of fun really.we may sell in the future it depends if we get a good offer.
