This sight is awesome. Dedication to some of the best cars EVER!!! Am I right?
My story so far.
My first car was a 1976 Galant impact orange sport option (tacho, exterior details ect. Regretfully sold it to an x-mate who painted it mat black (dodgy back yard job) and then sold it to some guys who used it as a bush basher!!!! wtf am I right!!!!
Anyway with anger aside, you goto love old people. I found one just like my old one. But 1977 same colour impact orange, and super well looked after by a lovely old lady.
Purchased at first sight (couldn’t resist) and so the project starts.
I’m redoing the entire interior first. New custom leather trim and dark grey perforated venal centres, and patchwork along doors (gallant). Across the dash (Chrysler) and on the seats top head rests front (Galant) I got a guy in my town that restores, re springs and re covers old car interiors. Excellent job and very passionate (retired works from home for the love of it and $$$$) very cheep tho.
The dash is fully out and so is the rest of the interior except the roof lining that will come later before every thing goes back in and the new strips are fixed (stuck down)
I’ve already obtained all the badges that were missing and will be getting them re- chromed. Except for one thing…the side strips that ran down the middle of the doors, front and back panels. Dose anyone have them I can purchase???? The wreckers I have here have not seen a Galant for a very long time.
Interior wise I have everything apart from the centre console. That came from the dash down then over the gear shifter (manual). I would also like to obtain one of these??? And the dash console…with a tacho, I have 2 one with a clock and one with a funny squiggle picture that continued through the car on a few interior badges.
I wish I fit this with a 4g63 turbo engine down the line, once I have it show room quality. Plus the old lady just had the engine rebuilt and it still needs wearing in, so no need to let it go to waste get a good years appreciation out of it before I go the last step to the project.
But if anyone can help with the few things I wish to obtain please please help.
Side protector strips
Dash with tacho
Centre console with manual shift that continues up to the dash. I will try and include a photo of this console.
