Galant_GT0
19th December 2011, 11:26 PM
This is a summary of my build of my 1975 Galant Hardtop build.
Started it's life with me as a one owner, 1600, Auto with 75,000k's and service history. Sadly the original owner was pretty old, had been put in a wheelchair so couldn't drive and the Galant was sitting on the front lawn for about 4 years before I convinced his Grandson to sell it to me ;) This was about 7 years ago now. It sat in the shed for about 3 years where I started removing some parts

More assembly of final parts. Bought a spare roller for parts, then sold it on. The spare should be on the road by Easter. Good to see rare cars live on :))
