Perkul8r's 91 Galant VR4 1055/2000

Ya. I know. I tried to get back there to see the car and he wouldn't let me. It didn't help that my so called friend left that job owing the guy money. He wanted me to pay an insane amount of money for the car to get it back.

I would love a GVR4 for a DD. The hood looks pretty faded, but like Goodhart said a good buff job can make a world of difference.

my buddie works at benz detailing cars.. he does side jobs for cheap if you want his number i can pm it to you

I might have to get that from ya. Its gonna be a while before i get up that way though. Spending most my time with the new baby, both the car and the new daughter. lol.

I also want one for a daily. Ive been looking at them for almost 6 months now. Congrats on the new car.

yeah but it is from montana, and they don't use salt out there.
congrats on the pickup. I can say that i'm jealous...haha

[Perkul8r]

They dont salt much there, but this car had a life of gravel roads. So I am hoping I dont discover something bad underneath. I already looked under there and it looked decent. But we will see once i get it cleaned up.

So i have been starting to look into doing something with the battery. Mainly cause I am sure i need a new one anyway.

I am still half and half between relocating it to the trunk, or doing a small battery setup in the bay. Kinda like this.

I am still looking at relocating the battery as i would love the extra space in the engine bay. Found some parts that I think would make it a clean install. JUst pricing out wire and what not that would be needed to do it.

I vote trunk if this thing is going to be a daily driver. Seems like everyone I know with a mini battery in a DSM, it has left them stranded at some point or another.

I'm going to put the battery into the trunk just because it's more reliable that way during the cold winters. I know I'm going to need the battery kill switch so I would eventually do that but probably just put the kill switch in when ever I have the time to do so. It's too cold to work on it right now :P Brother's civic is in the garage getting fixed. But, here's some links that may help out:

Previous owner had a system in the trunk so I will probably just route the wires the way the wires went from the engine to the trunk. I'll try to get pictures up once it actually gets warmer. Hopefully this helps man.
