1945/2000 is mine!

I finally bought a Gaylant yesterday. Found this one out in Shawano, WI. near Green Bay. Comes with all I need to put together minus engine, trans, ecu, t-case, and fuel tank and filler neck. Everything I can transfer over will be from my Talon. Anyway, here's a couple pics so far:

Here's just some of the extra parts I got with it:

Plan is to make it a full on year 'round daily driver, just like my talon is....only this shell is about 90% better/rust free.

Thanks!

Took a few more pics after working on it tonight. All the interior is back together except the center console items:

Nice to see another VR-4 owner. Welcome aboard the VR-4 crew. Make sure to check out GalantVR4.org.

Congrats! Seems like a nice car, is it replacing your DSM?

Nice score 123abc. I have one as well that's in JSB mode. Go by the same handle on galantvr4.org too. Those 93 headlights look sessy! Gotta get me a purr. Did the car come with the key fob? If you don't have one, "steve" on the org should have some 91 replica key fobs in stock ready to ship. All you gotta do is get your numbers engraved. I got 2 of them because my car did not come with one, plus I have a spare. Good luck with getting the car running and maybe I'll see you on the road someday.

Hehe, thanks for the welcome. I've been a registered member on GVR4.org since 07 I think? Wanted a VR4 for a long time. I have the same username over there as well.

Yea, it's replacing the rusty old talon that I've been daily driving for about a year I think. It'll be nice to finally have a nice car I can take care of and wax....

Thanks! I love the 93 headlights too. The car did come with a key fob, I just need to get it engraved.

I took a few more pics:

Body is pretty damn straight. There's a few paint scratches down to metal but will be fairly simple to repair:

Worst of the rust is under where the fenders sit. It's the same on both sides, will be stripping it down and painting it tonight:

Engine bay shot again:

I plan to put the DSM ps res. in instead of the 4ws stuff, ABS was already taken out so the seller gave me a non-abs prop valve but I'll need to make 4 new lines. Will a DSM engine harness work with the stock Galant gauges without too much work? I want to make it easy and swap my Talon's harness that I've gone through and re- routed.

Finished up the quick rust prevention on the major spots. Now I can put the fenders, side skirts, and doglegs on.
