the galant has mint rear bumper, and semi good tail lights - thats all i want it for but i said i would take it away for him, but i have to remove the banjo housing for him - feel like doing aanother one hahah.

the sigma - well... im unsure, i dont want to spend money on it because i need to spend it on the sports pak, so i will either sell parts off it or i will keep it and convert it to rally in a year or so.

ive always wanted a rally car - like a full on one, i wish i could have bought that rally GE for sale at the moment but i have no cash :(

ok got the car today, also picked up the GC in the background

the GE in mint, so mint, i dont know if i have the guts to strip it out for a rally car, its beautiful.

the front spoiler is awesome with its decals, i actually love the car its 120% rust free!

the GC on the other hand has mint tail lights, mint interior light (yay) and a perfectly straight rear bumper - the front aint bad either

i will check out the rest of the cars tomoro and see if there is anything else on the GC worth slavaging before i chuk it..

Pics soon

nice GE shuggy.
you should try and keep it intact- not many good GEs around anymore.
If you do part it out then I would LOVE that front grill and bumper though!

not too shabby, will tidy up real well. you should put a 2.6 and 5 speed in it, polish it, repair the minor rust on the door and get a straight bumper thats all i can see wrong with it. :thumpsup: Dont wreck it whatever you do

i really want to build a rally car, and this is perfect candidate...but is it too good to rally?? that is the question..

if i rally it it will be out with the interior, in with roll bar, narrow 2.6 twin sidedraught carbs and 4 or 5 speed with 3.889/4.11 diff

if i keep it under cover and let it vinatge like wine in a cellar and when i get money, AFTER the A57, rebuild it with g54 or g64 with holley and supercharger..

or turbo if engineer says no..

thing is im a do it now person so if i let it sit there then im going to just want to do something cheap.. i need inspiration.. PLEASE

just drop a 2.6 and gearbox in and see what the paint looks like after a buff. That should do until your other project is complete.
Afterwards you can decide if you still feel like doing the rally thing or not.
I like the 2-tone blue-silver look with those decals -would look great with some Simmons.

Shuggy, I've got the proper GE service manuals if you ever need to borrow em or look something up (there are 4 volumes). much more detail than Gregory's.
