Do you know what sort of look you are after?
Have a look through this thread Random Galant Pictures (ADD HERE) you may find some pics that inspire you one way or another. Old school rims come up every now and then, or some others like to run with Sigma Turbo/Wherret or GSR rims. Or then there is the other option, buying new rims, sometimes in the end it can be a cheaper option, once you take into account the costs involved with restoring a set of rims.

Hey mate Great first car!!

Very neat inside and out.

Please, please do not put bonnet vents, stickers, big aerials, or anything stupid on it, and it will be a great little cruiser for years to come.
If you change the steering wheel or gear knob, keep them in good safe condition away from moister etc. but dont throw them out.

She is in the very neat stock condition that people are looking for atm,
so if you can maintain it and look after it, it will be worth some money in afew years to come!

Keep up the servicing and maintainence, and check your brakes, and suspension.
Dont necessarily worry about more power just yet.

Some subtle but oldschool cool things you could look to do might be rear venetians, give it the Gma Bowls look ;)
find them new on ebay
And most JDM deep dish oldschool rims look cool

But its your car mate, do what you like.

Cheers

Those rims are the crappiest rims ever invented. I hate them sooooo much.
If you want to ruin your car go for it :thumpsup:

Jelly beans are great on GBs, but not on GC/GDs...

Sorry, but I think that way about them.
But everyone's entitled to their opinion I suppose :think:
