it's been a while but finally thought I'd put pics up, and show the progress I've made on my cars from then till now. I bought the GC as a granny car off an old lady in Sydney.
I saw it one day and thought its nice and stock wonder where they got it from, little did I know that they had it from new lol. Anyway couple months down the track I saw a neighbour in their shed and asked who owned it (out of a car at the time and in desperate need of one) they said I'll give you the number, so I called, and its a young bloke who was actually looking after the car for the old lady and he said he'd ask later that day. I got a phone call and she said she would sell it for $800. I was like nah bit pricey for me so I said $500 ended up agreeing at $600.
I got the car and drove it home the 200 odd kms, then found from sitting so long the welsh plugs rotted away, and so was overheating. Next day I changed them, was shocked repco had them in store but got them and put them in and bingo.
I put a stereo system in it, but didn't want to stuff the immaculate dash, so I put it under the glove box out of the way, but kept the dash from getting stuffed (which I really didn't want to do as it was so nice). I pulled original parcel self out and used it as a template to cut a bit of form ply I had lying around, and put two 6x9 holes in it covered it and put the original one up on the shelf for safe keeping. I ran all the wires and things so it can all be removed if need, be and will never notice.
I drove it round for a few months, and then a guy I recently met said he had a galant in his shed (which he recently purchased) a GB, I went and had a look at it, asked how much he said $1200 (I was like I'll think about it) couple weeks later I asked how much just for the rims, we settled on $200 for them as they needed tyres which I had, so I put them on.
Then one day I had a look under my car to just check it out and wow, I've never seen a guard in that poor shape before someone tried a dodgy weld on it with a bit of tin and lead wipe and some sort of copper I think it was. I said bugger it cut it straight off made a new piece to fit, and welded it on them shaped it and primed it. Then a bit further along more bog (another bodgy fix) just under the front door in the bottom sill a massive bang looks like the old girl hit a gutter or something, but oh well slide hammered it out as much as I could, then had to finish it with bog as it wasn't going to come much more better then what it did.
I'm happy with it so far, so after fixing all that finally after 3 weeks of non stop work on it (at night after work and stuff) I finally got it back on the road wow it was a great feeling.
So all was good for a couple more months then one day I get a msg of the guy with the GB, do you still want it? I asked how much he said $600 as is (in pieces getting resprayed in canary yellow) I said ill give you $400 he said sure (as he was strapped for cash, been out of work and needed to pay bills) so picked it up took it home and started work on it, then while unpacking it I noticed the tail lights are broken, but thanks to mitsugalant on the site for selling me a good pair. I'm happy to have all the parts in good condition just spewing the guy threw the original seats out (as its got sparco racing seats in it ) but oh well have a look at the pics see what you guys think.
this is what it looked like when the guy i got it off bought it from sydney
