============================================================
hey everybody names Josh and i finally got me a vr4 project.
saved it from a field outside dallas texas.....
Code Name is Project Golfball - due to being white and lots of hail damage dents.
I MUST WARN YOU.... THE FOLOWING PICS ARE NOT PRETTY AND MAY SADDEN YOU....
Backstory is it has unfortunately been sitting for about 6 years.... after a lot of work we got er loaded up....
 \
forgot to get outta the car befor we loaded it and i got stuck.... it was interesting gettin out....
anyways got big plans for this car....
the interior is in really good shape because they had it all covered but everything else is really rough.

yeah i guess i could have gave a little more detail.... i tried to post this up befor i went to work....
IM a huge car guy and have plently of mechanical and fabrication skill to take this car pretty much any direction i wanna go.... i did a full custom turbo setup on my 97 jetta vr6 AKA the screen name.... so im still trying to decide what direction i wanna take this galant.
AS FOR THE CAR....
got it home sunday night about 830pm.... got home from work monday about 6 and had the car up and driving around the block by about 11..... seems the drivetrains ok... tranny is really difficult to shift... hear thats pretty common with 1g's....
motor sounds really strong... OH has 170,000 ish miles....
when i took the valve cover off to check everything and pour oil and what not all over so i could start it up it all looked spotless....
POWER STEERING IS GONE..... i believe the pump is fine, pulled spins true and free but i found two of the lines going under the bottom back side of the engine bay are toast and leaked all over my driveway as soon as i tried to back out and turn the wheel.... i wanna just delete the rear steer and all that stuff and just run new lines for the front.
BRAKES: Not sure what the brakes are gonna take, im fine with using stock brakes but i have a feeling the calipers are pretty trashed.... it stops fine but doesn't let off when you release the pedal.
BODY: the car went through a really bad hail storm i was told... there is hail damage on pretty much every single pannel... hahahah... SAD THOUGH. im gonna try and just replace hood and trunk but the roofs gonna have to get some lovin....
Interior is deff nice.... im really glad they covered it all up befor it got parked....

Quoting Hertz:
$5 says the ECU is a mess. Get that thing capped and repaired straight away.
You might have better luck replacing those body panels than pushing out so many dents. I know someone in IA who has a modified hood (white)...
Quote:
I second the ECU repair ASAP.
Don't make a $300 mistake.[/qoute]
what yall talking about.... if my ecu was trashed wouldn't it not run and drive.... is this a specific to galant issue?
