I WANT THAT "GALANT FROM JAPAN" STICKER!!!!

It's actually an idea I've been toying with for a while after seeing the repro factory stickers on JNC (and on here too) about reproducing things like dealer stickers such as that purnell bros sticker. I had one on my first galant years ago.

Surely the guys into vintage holdens and what not would be already onto this.

Damn you lol I was going to go the gun metal grey look, for I reckon the wagon would look awesome that way. I guess now instead of imagining it I can see the final look from your wagon. I like the same gun metal grey look as on Eleanor on gone in 60 seconds.

yeh thats the colour i was going off i have high hopes for it.
i just took off my tow bar started on some dints and took my bonnet off and degreased and scrubed it so it wasnt black anymore (black from oil and dirt)
and finished off my boot install now it has all new wood and carpet over the top so it looks nice and clean.

Dark grey looks the business on most galants. It's the colour I was aiming for with the coupe but in fiddling with the under tones it came out kinda coppery. We liked it so we ran with it!

A yes to being an old school mitsu the basic jist is the old fella is looking around for a newer model car with power steering and all those new age flashy things cars have these days as he says. so once he has found his new car I'm first off the cab rank to be offered it.

Time to score some salvage. R.I.P. galant- your passing will not be in vain.
