New owner of 1865 :)

[Noobsauce]

Just picked this project up today. 1865/2000 non sunroof. I was told the previous owner lost interest and moved. I'm feel very lucky to be able to get this one back on the road.
Sadly it has a branded title but the damage looks minor. Plus I plan on keeping her as long as possible.

I hate when they lose interest and move on. Hopefully you won't do the same. Welcome aboard and post a few pics would ya.

Nope not going to happen with me. I have a 93 awd Tsi as my daily that will be sacrificed to the GVR4 gods

No drivetrain? That front suspension is sitting rather high

 

[GSX_TC]

Monster truck mods.

Ya no drivetrain. After I do all the body work and paint it. I'm sacrificing my dd talons engine, trans, coilovers, 5 lug, 4bolt rear, evo8 wheels, exc

 

[LIV4PSI]

Galants will always be cooler than Talons, especially as daily drivers. I already killed off a 1g to get my 4 bolt/5 lug hubs. Anyways, it definitely has potential. How's the interior?

 

[Noobsauce]

The door panels are good and it came with a good set of front and rear seats. I guess the worst part is the dash has a hole and no carpets.

 

[Vr4junkie]

What are your plans for the car engine wise?

 

[Noobsauce]

Already have link,16g soon to be hx35,1000cc injectors, adj pressure reg, walbro 255. Exc...

 

[Vr4junkie]

Nice I was planning to go hx35 but I want to auto Cross since theres a race track 30mi away so I might give the 16g a try

 

oh lord please dont jump on the DSM holset bandwagon every dsm guy for like 500 miles is all about that. i think they suck unless you like using 2000 of your powerband only.

 

[Noobsauce]

Done right it shouldn't be much worse then a 16g. I'm getting the .50 BEP housing so I should see max boost at 3800. I don't have the standard low comp pistons and it will be perfect for my goals. Plus I don't have $2g's to blow on a bb turbo. Im not jumping on the band wagon it's just in my budget.

 

[Noobsauce]

On a side note. I don't really think I was asking for your opinion on this subject so f*** off.

Haha Ouch
