So I bought 1501 from my little brother and month or so ago, but never really introduced myself. I kinda just took over his intro thread for the car. I plan on being a very active member of the community and have big plans for 1501, so I figured I should make a proper thread.
My name is Craig, and I am 28. For the last few years I have been going to Ohio State (graduate this spring) and I have been parting out cars and flipping junkyard parts to pay the bills. Just your average broke college student. I picked up my Galant from my little brother, who bought it from my best friend Mark. It was bone stock when Mark bought it, and he got fed up fixing problems before it was sorted out. My brother threw in the towel after the second thing broke /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif I wasn't ready to make the GVR4 mine yet as my other car isn't finished, but I couldn't let it get away so after whoring myself out to fat chicks, its mine.
I currently own an 04 Subaru STI as a daily driver. Although I am very much a Subaru guy, I started out with Mitsubishis. My first turbo car was a 1995 Eclipse GSX. I daily drove it for a few years, and after it spun a rod bearing I moved on to 1gs. I had a 1990 GSX and later a 1993 GSX as well that was much nicer. I got tired of having a $9k car that was only worth $4k and parted it out. Spent a couple years trying to get an FD RX7 running, gave up and parted it out and started looking for an EVO. Ended up finding a WRX that was too cheap to walk away from, and have been into Subies ever since. Here is a link to my STI build thread and some random pics

If anyone noticed a trend of me parting out cars, I promise it will never happen to 1501. I am its final owner, and it will never get sold or parted out. I plan to let it take over some DD duties before I get too crazy with it. Hoping for a reliable 11 second street car, that can go high 10's when I feel like getting kicked out by tech guys. Anyways, here is a link to my build thread already in progress on here, which I will be updating tonight or tomorrow with some pics of parts I have bought recently. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif
