After a ten-plus year hiatus from building cars, I finally got the itch again. I've owned an Eclipse and a Talon previously, but this is my first Galant and I'm admittedly pretty excited about bringing this car back to some of it's original glory. I completely blame this entire fiasco on my best friend, Bourbon, and Tom's turbo garage (in that order) all of which is ok. It was important to me to find one without rust because like to many other people I wasn't really interested in going down that road so I could focus on other aspects of the car. My apologies for being short in this post, I really wanted to come up with some great post and introduce the story of the car but that's just not me.
Bringing her home from Virginia to Chicago.
The car had been sitting for a few months and it showed even on the interior. With it being pretty cold the last few days, the exterior hasn't been touched but I spend several hours on the inside. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif
The rear brake hardline allegedly took a dive and the car has zero brake pressure, with what looks to be a seized caliper. Swapping in some new calipers and rotors shouldn't be a big deal, but does anyone have any advice on replacing the hardline? From what I can tell it is going to be a real pain and time consuming and I haven't been under a Mitsubishi in a decade, hopefully I'm wrong.
This forum is an awesome source of information and inspiration and I thank all of you for that. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worthy.gif Hopefully I'll have more updates soon and remember to take pictures along the way.
