pretty happy with the progress![thump :thumpsup:](./images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Found a guy in baulkhamhills that had 3 galants up forsale on gumtree, prefect timing ! the guy spent a bit on a blue gb galant heres a photo,![Image](http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r535/yno26galant/GOPR0183.jpg)
shame to see the amount of rust killing this poor gb galant, all underneth is been powder coated and looks great, once i get some spare time ill strip it and use the parts for my other toy ;)
came with heaps of parts with the 2 others, maybe too much haha.
the car had mint condition trim and seats beside the back seat was faded a little,
so i changed the orginal red

Heres the faded back seat maybe i can sort something out to make it not as noticable.

So on the day of a wedding
i was doing for my brother the headgasket blew and the alternator. HAAHAH oh well i knew i was up for one sooner or later.
after my mechnic pulled the head off he noticed the block had hair line cracks inbetween the water jackets and the headstuds. through out the whole top surface. So lucky Superscan811 had a block for me, sweet!
heres some photos of the old block![Image](http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r535/yno26galant/2012-05-08105504.jpg)
not the best photo,
SO it ended up getting a rebuild while everything was apart, the head arrived from the machine shop![Image](http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r535/yno26galant/2012-05-08111617.jpg)
ALSO one thing that i totally forgot to get the head ported
dam, oh well.
ill get some photos of engine bay now as i got it resprayed and battery converted to the boot![thump :thumpsup:](./images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
