A friend of mine spotted this car in Spokane/CDA last year and sent a picture to me. Pretty sure it's the same car anyways.

Holyyyyyy, that's definitely the worst I've seen. It would be nice to save it, but you're looking at a serious amount of work.

I've got a good MD130384 off a 1990 GGSX, but I dunno about shipping to the UK.

Any interest in part trade for a Evo X NACA hood vent?

I think you'd have better luck having a professional repair it than you would trying to buy another one, should be cheaper too.

I have a few grills for sale, moving out of state and don't have the room for them anymore. Price is $100/each shipped within the continental US. Let me know which one you're interested in and I'll check it over for any damage and get more photos for you. As they sell, I will cross them out and...

I spent a couple hours pressure washing the entire car inside and out, also got my locking lugnuts so I put the OZ wheels on for good, just have one stripped stud I have to knock out and put a new one in. I can't put the EvoX naca vent where I wanted on the hood because of where the bump is, so...

Good find! As long as GSX and VR4 use the same carriers, that will be great.

Also, I can't take all these grills with me so if anyone wants to buy one, $100/each shipped anywhere in the continental US. Crossed out ones are sold already. Let me know which one you're interested in and I can get you better photos and more info.

Yeah, once I saw what they cost I knew that wasn't the route I'd go. I'll probably try to make one out of a 01-06 Outlander driveshaft, the wheelbase between the Outlander and the Galant is less than an inch difference. I might be able to just cut off the 3-hole ears, grind off 25mm off the face...

Thanks man, unfortunately I've been waiting a lot longer than I expected trying to source the big stuff like engine, gearbox, diff, engine harness, etc. So that's really slowing progress. Every single thing I've removed from the car has been broken as well, so as expected, I pulled the...

It's been a long winter and I didn't get much done on any vehicles really, except some small jobs. I'm going to be selling the house and moving this summer, so the Gen1 Montero and Gen2.5 Montero have to go, I'll just be keeping the Galant and Gen2 Montero. I finally got some proper tires...

Do you have any other parts available?

Can the collars be adjusted for any amount of lift over stock height?

I just removed mine and pulled the plastic clips out of the channel, gonna leave it like that. I'm not aware of any channel strip or trim that would work with the metal tabs sticking up in the way. If you cut those off, you could probably find some trim-to-fit overlap weatherstripping that would...

I think most or all of the MD128625 is marked 4474A on the white plug body. I believe the MD145903 is normally marked with the E2T number on the case ending in 4478A with matching number on the white plug like yours. Both look similar, fed-spec, knock board and no eprom. You should look at...

Do you mean the inner taillights and license plate area or just the thin trim piece that runs along the bottom edge?

If you think you want a Gen1, you should definitely pull the trigger on one. They're getting harder to find and people are starting to ask a lot more for them. Parts on Rockauto are REALLY cheap for them though, I'd say 1/2 the price or even less than Gen2 parts. I got new NGK plugs, plug wires...

I got around to buying a full set of used tires for it cause it still had the old fronts the slowly leaked and some rollers on the rear that were a different size. Someone did a number on the beads when they changed them, but I got them cheap because of that and just used some bead sealer and...

I finally found a parts car as well, so I was able to get the hood and passenger fender that I needed. Windshield had some big cracks and driver fender wasn't great, so I didn't grab those.White hood is in much better shape, I'll work out the gaps and adjust it when I do paint, for now it's...

I started pulling the front apart again so I can pull the passenger headlight support out about 1/2" and weld up a square tube core support that bolts in, which will make work on the front of the car and swapping engines a lot easier. Also got the rest on the engine bay harness out and stripped...

Does anyone know if 03-06 Outlander struts are close to the same as galant? I'm looking for newer units and want a little bit of lift/dampening also.

I knew those calipers looked familiar, I have a pair of them sitting in the shop from a Cayenne/Touareg, they're big units.

A friend got a good deal on some Evo III wheels from Japan and was nice enough to grab them for me. I'll likely run a 205/65 on these, not a street tire but M&S/AS.Also removed even more stuff, car is sitting pretty high now. There was a hole in the gas tank as well, so I removed that and...

I ended up mounting the Evo III RS mudflaps to my existing gsx parts, the rears are just mocked up cause I need to figure out what to do about a rear bumper.Now for the part some people won't like, I can't find any Galant bumpers anywhere near me, so I'm going to be using an Impreza...

I think something is wrong with those tires, there's no tread on them (kidding) More pictures?

^Yeah, I checked my W5M31 too and it doesn't even have that threaded hole, its just flush with the surrounding casting. Wonder what it was originally there for, looks a lot like just a third hole for a revised tranny mount.

I was going through some of my parts and found a 93 main grill assembly without the front trim piece. I was keeping it to use with another 93 grill, but will likely never find one again. It does have a few broken clips, but the assembly itself is in pretty good condition. If someone has a 93...

What brand did you end up with and what brand were 20.5mm ones?

Edit: Just noticed you said main bearings, the ones shown below are rod bearings.Not sure if this helps, but first pic is an old King STD out of my 6-bolt, second pic is a new ACL Race bearing, third pic with part#

Incredible job, never let that thing go.

So to recap, the rod caps were torqued to almost double spec, head bolts were torqued to half spec, transfer case was missing 2 of the 5 bolts, transmission bolts were hand tight and starting to back out, north/south brace was missing bolts and hanging by a thread, head bolts and most of the...

I'm jumping ahead a bit, but this is fresh in my mind since I just did it yesterday. I removed the intake manifold and the manifold brace wasn't connected to the IM and was barely connected to the block by the last thread on the bolt so it was just banging around on the support. The head did...

Nice looking car and a good price man, good luck!

The tires were completely knackered, so I grabbed some rollers from the junkyard and mounted them up on the wheels, snapped some studs while I was at it. I wasn't sure what wheels they were, but they sort of looked like some old jdm wheels, unfortunately they were just some American Racing...

After I got the exhaust off I started into the engine a bit, the head looked pretty clean inside.I turned the engine over with a breaker bar on the crank bolt and it hung up bad at one point, wouldn't move at all past there, I thought a balance shaft plug or something might be jammed inside...

Thanks, I don't spend nearly as much time on it as I'd like to, but try to whenever I have a few minutes. Time consuming jobs seem worse than even the biggest of jobs, it'll be painful when I get to re-wiring the whole car.

I started in on the engine, doing some disassembly and cleanup, and it was no better than the interior of the car. Mouse droppings and nests everywhere, most wires had sheathing chewed off or chewed through completely.I pulled the exhaust off and the mice had even climbed up the entire...

Thanks, I'd normally take you up on that, but I'm going to be putting an aluminum dash in and composite sheet door panels. Do you happen to have a hood, right fender, or windshield?

Thanks, should be worth it in the end.

I got tired of just cleaning, so I started collecting some parts for the car.Some new corner lights, ignition barrel, key, door locks, and trunk seal thanks to JSchleim18.Some mud flaps from an Evo 3 RS and a Nardi Classic 360mm thanks to a friend who found them in Japan and had them sent...

Completely agree, knowing now the extent of the damage, I'm not sure I would take it on again. The seller had a dozen other cars where this was stored too, I guarantee they're just as bad or worse.

They don't look like Galant mirrors, they looks smaller and the folding section is different. I can't find any other Mitsubishi mirror from the late 80's - early 90's that looks like the one in the photo either.

I began removing every piece of the interior and putting it on a scale before throwing it away and documenting the weight, luckily the cold weather helped with chipping the sound deadening out. I've had to buy dry ice to get the same result before.

Literally no part of the interior was salvageable except for some smaller parts that I could bleach and disinfect. Seats and carpet would never be usable again, and I started to realize this car would have to become something more along the lines of a stripped out rally car.

I picked up this Galant GSX in January just after new years, it had been sitting in a field for a couple years and all I knew about it was it had rod knock, flat tires, and some rodent activity in it. The tires were cracked badly, so I put in just enough air to get it rolling without blowing out...

Got it, I just checked with a gauge and the pistons are 42.8mm, so I should be okay just ordering a caliper service kit for a 94 Diamante, rockauto shows the bore size for the service kit as 1.68" (42.8mm). Then just order standard rotors for a Galant VR4. This will be a lot easier than...

Such a neat car, good luck man.

Awesome, thanks for the info. I'll order a couple rotors and see how they fit.

That's one of the things that confused me, because the part numbers come up different for the VR4. For example I found the following on Rockauto:1992 3000GT NA CALIPER CENTRIC [ 14146047 ] 1992 DIAMANTE CALIPER CENTRIC [ 14146047 ] 1992 GALANT VR4 CALIPER CENTRIC [ 14146051 ]Do you think...
