Its a white 1991 galant vr4, unmolested as theevozero would say. Only modifications are a dvd player (previous owner) and drop in K&N air filter(previous owner). As I understood it I am the third owner of this car, and hopefully the last. There are no modifications planned, I intend for now to only replace parts it needs and wants for right now. She is rough around the edges but has very little rust in the undercarriage. Pictures to come! O and Hello GalantVR4.org I appreciate any and all advice, and hope in time I learn this car enough to give back to the community.

welcome, you got lucky finding a car with no rust in ND. The pics look like it has salt all over it though. Clean it up nicely, I'd considering coating everything with a rustproofing and work on your basic maintenance. A good tuneup is a good place to start. Check the condition of the timing belt and change that as well.

Congrats on the pick up! It looks good, and maintenance is a must, but I hope you clean the engine bay up a little, a clean engine bay is always nice!

You better pull the front fenders and check for rust at the bottom rear of the wheel well. You'd be surprised what you can find hiding under there...

Thanks for turning me on to Toms Turbo Garage, great videos that I enjoyed the first time through. I will be watching them again so I don't miss anything!

Found the car in Montana hence it being not as rotted out as most stuff here, and underneath the fender near the wheel well some rust has formed and is looking kinda rough.

Also ordered redline fluids for transaxle, transfercase(need to replace output seal and yoke), and rear diff fluid. Along with ball joints the alignment shop said they needed.

Some of the things I have noticed wrong with it on exterior, I have noticed more with the interior(rip in driver seat and back seat)(missing trim on the driver side mirror electronics) (two door locks are broken off?!?! they are now half locks)

More pictures coming soon, unless someone tells me to stop haha.

GSTwithPSI, Yea hopefully nothing is rusted through yet and can be cleaned up. Does anyone know how aggressive I can get with sanding, I was thinking electric drill with wire wheel, or should I sand by hand?
