So is Ben just accumulating every Galant he can get his hands on now? At least he's got away from Geminis :lol:
What's happening with the Hardtop?

BTW, the blue looks tidy, I like the Dragway rims.
Is it suede paint or am I just seeing things?

I dunno what the paint is, but it's rather dull... going to be a nice metallic blue one of these days... :-) Like the car in this pic:

And yes, thank GOODNESS he's away from the Geminis :P Lol.

Doesn't bother me if he buys every Galant he can find... They all live at my house :P hehe.


Must admit that I'm surprised that no-one commented on the Sigma wagon behind the Gals in this pic:

Interior is VERY neat, although photos doesn't do it any justice. Can't say I'm very fond of door linings, but...

And this is a little sad:

Otherwise, it ain't a bad little bus... for $500!! =D Lol.
Image


Oh yeah... it has no brakes =P


Plans? ... Uh... as far as I know: Restore to originality... =P And fix the brakes. ;-)
So... needs new door linings...
And badges...
That's about all that I know of. :-) I'm sure Ben will add more to the list when he is next online. ^_^

Hey guys...

Ok the plans for this GB is to do it up completely.... inside and out...
The interior is pretty smick but the door cards are horrible lol, will be removing them
and replacing with original black ones.

The carpet is new so that will be staying, the steering wheel and boss kit will be removed and
replaced with an original :)

Seats i haven't inspected under the seat covers yet but will get a chance on the weekend. Depending on
the condition i might replace with original black ones :) Will also put in a simple but effective sound system but
nothing overkill just to keep it nice and sleek.

Exterior will be completely stripped and resprayed metallic blue and any rust taken out :)

Motor will have a new gasket kit put through her and chrome extractors... also a little bigger
exhaust to give it a bit nicer sound but again nothing over the top (no canons or rubbish lol)

All bumpers will be done up and chrome strips replaced around the doors etc have most of them but some are bent :(
Badges im trying to get hold of so i can finish her :)


Yes for some strange reason all my cars accelerator pedals come off... not me i swear =P
I have given up on the Gemini projects and am selling them off to make way for the galants =)
i really do prefer them now... 74galantgb has converted me well and truly...

Cheers,
Ben
