Finally it seems i have found a heap of people that share the same love as me.. Sigmas and Galants.. Or how about boosted sigma motors in galants... now thats fun.. I dont know what took me so long to find this sit i've been building my galant for years and thought i was just struggling by myself!! Well i own a 1975 CG Coupe, or at least half of one... the other half is a bit rusty but getting fixed as i speak.. im running a 2.6L injected sigma motor with a T04 good for about 250kw.. Anyways that's all im giving away on my first post but im sure now that ive found this joint you'll hear from me a bit.. will upload some pics of my car when i get this bloody camera to co-operate with my computer.. peace guys...

yeah this is great finding other galant owners, i washed the cob webs off mine the other day and remembered how much i love it, its been sitting out back rusting away witch sucks, fell in love with my xr turbo ute and enjoyed not getting pulled over by the cops all the time but i might bring it back out, im glad there are other people here like me!!!

shuggy · Post by **shuggy** » Tue Oct 27, 2009 12:24 am

lets see if we can get them all on here by end 2010 ;)

and springy - yes, get it out of the weather and stick your heart into it haha

springy1981 · Post by **springy1981** » Tue Oct 27, 2009 4:12 pm

Thanks, it needs some work!!!, i think there is too much rust to deal with, not sure, how hard is it to get spare panels and parts for a 1975, will need a new bonnet and ass to start with plus a drivers side window?

shuggy · Post by **shuggy** » Tue Oct 27, 2009 5:46 pm

you cant get panels, have to fabricate or get off a donor car. only spare panels i have seen are rear quarters and stone guard from rare spares.

windo just contact glass place? or ask someone on here.. PM sent

Post by **GC75** » Tue Oct 27, 2009 6:53 pm

ill have numbers and what not for windows soon.

Coupe's included

springy1981 · Post by **springy1981** » Wed Oct 28, 2009 3:07 pm

pissed off, just found a compleate 75 galant in the paper in my area sold last week, only had a $300 reserve, its gone!
can any one tell me if the bonnet windows and other parts from a 76 will fit a75?

77galantv6 · Post by **77galantv6** » Wed Oct 28, 2009 4:52 pm

all gc and gd 's are the same as far as i know, except tailight set up and grill.

but coupes are different to sedans.

anyone correct me if im wrong....

75wagon is the man to ask, he has pulled that many galants apart its rediculous

Post by **DVSGAL** » Wed Oct 28, 2009 6:50 pm

I have a GC bonnet on my GD.
Oh, and welcome

That galant was a piece '. Was rusted beyond belief.
The bonnet from GD/ GC are the same. Guards are different but you can make them fit. Coupe front guards are same as GD sedan. Still to find out if sedan front doors are same as wagon (rears are different)? I think the wagon rear doors are same as GA/ GB if you change the window chanels and glass.
How bad are your panels?
May be easier to fix.....

ah not sure, im a sparky, i have no idea about panel beating but it looks like a job that a panel beater might roll his eyes at, will have to get one around to give me a quote, thanks for the advise!!! heaps of interesting ppl on here!

77galantv6 · Post by **77galantv6** » Thu Oct 29, 2009 3:50 pm

lol, just so you know Dave (75wagon) is a painter and sprayed his car himself.
and a newcastle local

you should pm him and ask him to have a look for you.....

springy1981 · Post by **springy1981** » Thu Oct 29, 2009 5:56 pm

HA hA! of course he is, i didn't know, well i think i blew any chance of him coming for a look. Na there is no rust or marks in the paint at all, nothing a hand buff wont remove!

Post by **75wagon** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 10:11 am

When I'm back in town I'll come and have a look if you want.
I'm down the coast till sunday.

Dave.

Coupes fronts are the same apart from the grill, tail lights are the same.

ken26tgalant · Post by **ken26tgalant** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 8:06 pm

trust me i know my coupes backwards... my coupe is like a demon in my dreams it never leaves me alone.. The entire front end is the same in the coupes as the GD twin headlight setup.. the grill is slightly different but not much.. the seats bolt straight up and you can use all window winder and door lock bits.. but as for window regulators and pretty much everything further back apart from seatbelts it's useless

springy1981 · Post by **springy1981** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 8:24 pm

so your saying a 76 wont be good for parts for a 75???

springy1981 · Post by **springy1981** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 8:58 pm

oh well, too late i just bought a 76, this galant web site has been bad for me, a week ago i had no love for my car, now im keen and just bought a second one, not relly is all good im motivated now, will have some parts from a 76 galant available soon guys, just have to get it home, its 600km form Newy but, its was for sale at my old home town Young , freaky!

Post by **GC75** » Sat Oct 31, 2009 1:31 am

you bought that car off ebay? $:\$ How much did it go for?

GC/GD are compatible with almost anything other then what members stated.

75/76 is the same, wont have no issues.

springy1981 · Post by **springy1981** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 3:03 pm

$610 good buy i think, just need the bonnet, ass end,, drivers window, indicator lever and a few other items, i will have some spares soon!
