GC Valiant Galant

Post by bth »

Ahoy!
You may remember me as the guy who crashed his beautiful yellow GE Sigma? No? Oh... well i bought another car. You may have seen it before!:

Image

Its on this site somewhere, probably a few times.. but yes, i now own it and it will be my daily. Its name; Yoshi.

Yes, the previous owners have all tried and couldn't be bothered getting this puppy going again (for reasons im yet to discover :P)

The things i appreciate about this car, is the body, although packed with enough bog to slow down the nazi invasion, its straight. The vinyl roof, the black interior, the carpet, the sight of the thing just makes me smile.

I have aquired $400 worth of parts to do a service, which include the usual oil/filter, air filter, coolant, fuel/filter, spark plugs and leads, brake pads, battery, tools. suspension and brakes will be looked at by a professional, unless they're piss simple? The engine will be looked at by my boss, who was an engineer in the NZ army, and who's house im stashing this thing at.

I've never restored a car before, nor have i much mechanical knowledge, however im sure i'll figure it out.
My mate will be doing the cutting and the welding of the rust.

So, i shall give an update this weekend with photos of the car in the work station :)



The death of me begins....

That was JiP's car. How come he sold it?

Glad you are going to do something with it.
