Introducing my GVR4 (finally)

Just thought I'd post some pics and info on my GVR4 which, I bought in November 2009. According to Hertz this was the 16th GVR4 built and according to Iceman the car did not get a badge originally. It was initially used as an internal company car and does not list the VR1 option package (badge) on the file and so it is a pre-badge car, of which there are 8 or 9. (hope you guys don't mind me quoting you..)

EDIT: I jumped timing in September so some of the mods are not up to date. The Galant is running again but the engine is now mostly stock.

That's pretty cool man! Mine dosn't have a badge, but it's only cause the P.O. "lost" it. Welcome!

I'm not entirely sure, PO said it was just a generic front mount /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

EDIT: Had to take the front bumper off today and it's an XS Power front mount
