I will start this thread off with this picture.
Gazed into it deep enough and taken in its beauty? Do you start to question the meaning of life and how it all began? Good. This story does not have a beginning nor an end it just kinda starts but wont stop.
Here is where we shall begin, and that will be at the end of one chapter but the beginning of a new.

The great partout of 2012! Well it wasnt great nor was much parted out but I sold some shit.
The reason the part out came was because I was completely fed up with the car. Done wanted to crush is and get something new and different to me. My eyes were set on an FD, but I had to go back to school in Colorado so the car sat, parts missing, on jack stands at my parents house until I could get it crushed.
Well one day I was watching muscle car and saw the guy there had his first car since he was 16 for 40 years. Well to me that is my Galant, my first car and taught me alot. So that was decided I would keep it.
When I got home from school I didnt have much time for it over the summer but now I do.
So I pulled that hoe into the garage and got started.

Sitting for the year was not kind to her. But I yanked the motor to get started on this build.

Once that was out I ordered the suspension bushings.

That proved to be a nightmare as the kits arent complete and I have to piece it together between prothane and energy.
Since I am being lazy on installing the rear bushing I started on rust repair.

Lovely hole. The etch marks are where I was going to cut.

One of the issues I have had with the poly kit. This is the front control arm bushing. One of these things is not like the other?

I decided to pull the fusebox for a wire tuck and trunk relocation. I will step up wiring gauge, add extra relays and fuses for anything I will add, and remove what I wont use

This is the drivers side rust seen up above somewhere. I had already POR-15ed it and did a brush down for a second coat.

Love seeing galants, they look so angry. Got a 7g galant myself. Might have missed it, and dont know what 8g's there are, but is it a 4wd version or fwd? And some nice work you've done, self-thought?
