The work has continued at its slow and steady pace. Not much coin to put into it, until i get back from holidays in july. Continued cleaning the engine bay today, decided to take the gearbox out and degrease it also. Always nice to see some nice metal under 40 years of mud and grease. http://i969.ph...

I've found the most common problem with the horn can be the contacts in the steering wheel.
Take it off and give the contacts a clean/sand.

Cheers Jason, thats good info

How'd you go removing the shelf, cut it up with an angle grinder?

Started degreasing the engine bay today and was suprised (for the most part) how good the paint comes up. I dont think i will have to re-paint the whole engine bay. There is some fairly extensive surface rust under the battery box though: http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae173/philb_bucket/a05bb42...

That first pic makes me hate that i have sealed beam lights in the GA

Very tidy galant

Wooooahh she's lookin sweet, nice work.

Hey there,

Very nice looking ride, it's a GB though.

Love the red/black interior, what's with the different coloured drivers seat?

Search the site, there are some threads on factory brochures which show the range of factory colours they came in.

Glad to see progress with this Phil. You've been quiet of late... Yeah i have been flat out with work and busy on the weekends. Just a tip Phil ..... those small filters are probably too restrictive to connect direct to the breather - too much pressure buildup. You would be better off running the b...

Finally had some time to do some work yesterday. Pulled the motor out, starting to clean and prep the engine bay to re-paint it. Just going with the original blue colour. I'd been wanting to get the motor out for a long time. http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae173/philb_bucket/b34f3221.jpg motor i...

This sold on Ebay not that long ago didn't it?

I would imagine it will go for roughly the same price...

Look awesome, well done!

I wrote this a while ago but posted it to some random thread (iPhone + fat fingers is not a great combo)

Nice work guys! Cant wait too see it in the flesh.
Also looking forward to when all the newy boys are back on the road...

It's out of a 'GS' model galant (we didn't get them in aust)

Straight bolt in, some fiddling with the wiring for the tacho.

Cheers Jason,

Yeah they are a way better dash, plus now idon't have to mess around with trying to get an aftermarket tacho to look ok in the car!

haha be careful what you wish for Dave!

Cheers.

So the progress is starting again! Recently sold my spare GA. Had to finally give in and realise I don't have room for 3 cars. The galant is now off the road. My plans are replace knackered 1300 with the 1600 I have. Goin to strip down the 1600 and check whats in it and maybe put a small amount of $...

They look awesome!

IMO the superlites dont have enough offset and the others have too much. The superlites look way better though.

We all know that you'll make the car look good Dave. I think this one should have some guts too...2.6?

Been a while since I've made a post on here. Progress has been happening at a slow but steady pace. Pulled the belt drive motor out of the orange one over easter http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae173/philb_bucket/7dfe5f79.jpg with my new purchase http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae173/philb_buc...

I'd double check the timing.
Spray some starter spray and test for a vacuum leak on the intake.
Then do a compression test.

Good post!
Pics would make it perfect

Someone might want to edit this a bit, it's not worded terribly well....

Mate I got king springs for my GA. Theyre listed from memory and are the same listing as fr a daewoo something. I'm happy with the ride height, not super low. however the springs are stiff and aren't seated when the car is jacked up

Nice wheels dude!

and you gotta love NOS stuff!

That must be one of the first gb's. My 2nd GA is a 72 and has the same interior. Yours also has the mph dash which is weird cause my 72 ga has kph.

Looks like a good find!

Good news!
Couldn't go to a better home!

Your GA/B has a brake booster?

Welcome to the site!

Looks like you've got a bit of work ahead of you, but it's nice to see another GA out there.

Are you keeping the Saturn motor in it? You might struggle against the skyline lol
