Re: 75 Wagon

I have my VR4's old starter on the g52 :). I don't have a g63 to try, if I get a chance to head back to the junkyard today, I'm going to see about snagging one off a 7G galant, because they are a 90amp on the 2.4s.

Also got the starion gas pedal too for the Coupe (cable throttle) :).

Re: 75 Wagon

Snagged a alternator off a 89 Starion (Ours are all G54B turbos), now to both fix and upgrade from the old one since the voltage regulator died.

Re: 75 Wagon

I like the big chrome bumpers, just not the 76+ that have the ugly rubber corners. Small bumpers would be great, but like you said, the car carries them just fine! :thumpsup: .

Re: 75 Wagon

No more Colt badges, though I still have the holes for them, but eh it will get repainted eventually at some point. Thought about putting the Galant badges over the existing holes, but looked up pics of other cars, realized they sit much lower and agreed it would look weird if the badge sits up that...

Re: 75 Wagon

I understand the difference between the too, however I was having issues with my 2.0l carb, which was pretty sure the float needed replacing, but you can't just buy a new float or find a 30-32 DIDTA mikuni around here in the states. I won't go into more detail on the 2.0l carb, I got so fucking fed ...

Re: North/south east/west swap?

g64 swap would be the pretty much the same as a g63 swap and if you add DOHC on top of that if it wasn't already then yeah it adds more complications to a swap. The only relative difference between the two though is deck height, the 64 is a few inches/mm taller than the 63 block. I just did a g32 to...

Re: 75 Wagon

True on one side I found out after pulling the rubber off, on the other side it was when it just slid off on the other side, thus leaving the those bolts and rubber still attached to the car. :facepalm:

Re: 75 Wagon

Ironically the left fender and hood are originally blue beneath the red paint. The hood is matte black on top and red underneath, however some paint has chipped to reveal blue underneath that, and the fender shows bits of blue around the bolt holes. I'm thinking it wasn't recent that the hood and fe...

Probably is because that is a 74 Colt as you can tell by the tail lights are USDM and small bumpers.

Nope. Late GD's maybe, but I still don't think so? LB Lancer hatches had both chain and belt, LC's had all belt. GE Sigma's (the 4G32 one's anyway) all had belt. I'd say it wasn't till the late LB/2nd Gen lancers and the Siggies that got the G32Bs. Even all the 77-79 Lancers here have chain drives,...
