kewdale is where im pickin it up from, islington is adelaide.. so they trying to tell me its been on a train for 5 days between adelaide nd here?

[Smithy]

Ring them shuggy-mine sat for 3 days in perth before they delivered it.

[shuggy]

its sunday, will ring them tomorrow, im driving it back from the depot not gettin it delivered..

[shuggy]

may i ask does anyone know what the other compliance plate is? all my galants have had one.. this has two? does that mean its an import?

[shuggy]

just realised pics from before i bought it arent up, well a few are but not all..

here you are

[tango76hardtop]

may i ask does anyone know what the other compliance plate is? all my galants have had one.. this has two? does that mean its an import?

all my galants have 2. one of them is from chrysler the other is the australian compliance plate. Think the later galants all had 2

[shuggy]

ahh ok

i rang them today, they cant find my car................

[75wagon]

What?
Can't find it, or just don't know where it is?

[shuggy]

well they said it left adelaide on the 6th, and the one train goes from adelaide to the depot im collectin it from..

and they said they cant find an orange car of any description in their yard and there has been 2 adelaide trains since mine left apparanlty......

then they said they would go around and physically look for it and call me back

that was 2.5 hours ago

[GC75]

that sucks man...

[shuggy]

il be fuming if they have actually lost it. i mean i have it insured so thats no issue but i dont care about money (obvious if you knew how much i paid for it lol) i jut want THAT car..

[GC75]

jeez man that sucks... it will turn up!

[tango76hardtop]

that sucks man. It'll turn up usually its in the depot but the office don't know it's arrived with things like that. it might pay to ring them again as from experience with people saying they'll call back, they usually don't ring back and when you chase them about it they will say they forgot to call back

[shuggy]

welll i thought i would go down to the depot to find it.. the depot didnt exist so i freaked out for a minute. then some guy appears like magin and tells me the new depot is 2k down the road.. so i went for a visit..

they didnt even have the registration number of the car in their system.. then some young comes around the corner and says... 'that galant has no traction i hope your not driving it home like that?'....

WOOO he knew exactly where the car was amongst 10000 of the things and ran over n drove it to the door step. It is now on my verge....and kermit is sittin at the depot waitin for me to go get it hahaha

its amazing, i love it.. ALL peperwork since 1976, interior is brand spanking new! there are a few dings in the body here and there but nothing major! bit of rust along the top of the LH front quarter under the bonnet so i hope its onpy cometic and doesnt go deep.. but we will soon see!

its raining so pics soonn

[tango76hardtop]

good to hear you've got it alright. might have to come check it out some time

[shuggy]

its amazing.. and so quiet, must be sound deadened coz its really smooth sounding and old car smelling

[Smithy]

Sounds good shuggy-it's always a bit scary when you first see a car you have bought from photos but sounds like it will be a keeper

[shuggy]

just took it for a spin, ZERO traction, 3rd gear medium throttle drifting around corners.. crazy scary. but awesome fun!

the crash pad has had a blanket on it all its life so is amazingly soft and bright black.

the seats still have the plastic on em, the dash is immaculate, the heater doesnt work but does anybodys? my first GC did but i couldnt turn it off haha

the engine revs to 6500 nicely, the engine has a powerband between 3800 and 5800, its like a turbo kicking in at 3800 and then dies in the ass at 5800, must be a vacuum leak in the secondary.

the chrome trim is strange, if you look in the pics you can see the chrome is only around the mud guards, not the whole wheel arch.. and one is missing on front LH, gonna be impossible to replace..

the venetian is perfect nic, the stereo is really good with factory parcel shelf speakers, the alternator/batter/both is dead coz i left my lights on for 5 min earlier and battery was deadd

all in all hte car is AMAZING and i dont regret spending what i did on it. will get some pics tomoro
