Thought id post some pics of mi new car up here, as i posted em on "other readers cars" but its taking too long to get put up, so here will do. i bought it for $3000, if ya cant tell, its a Gallant '75, got it with a 2.4l 4 cylinder engine, with about 150,000 kms on the clock (with that engine) total of about 300,000. car has new exhaust, extractors, and a webber carbie. has a pioneer head unit, sub in parcel shelf, amp, speakers. year old paint job (no just) got it also with a set of GSRs (not on yet.) the cars a 5 speed manual. i also got a huge amount of parts with the car, diff's, body parts, carbies, an engine, new trans, stacks. i think its a real steal for 3k, bloody nice car. just gotta get better at the old manual, stalled it once of twice at the lights lol. will be putting a turbo in it within the next few months, should run 14's with that in. cheers guys, tell me what u think (sorry its not a commodore.) Cheers, Matt Ps (sorry for dial up users, lots of pics) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i know it hasnt been long, but all your responses r blowing me away . one great pm but, thanks again mate, so no comments guys? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

as i said on msn, i like it man, it has like the rx3 kind of look, i think a set of polished fr's would look pretty hot. ps the paint looks way better in the night photos! How you gonna go about turboing the carbie engine though? Isnt that a bit risky?

Looks really cool.. i like it!

thanks for the comments guys. keep em comin

nice man, i like it and classy mirror to Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

like it alot mate, as said above would look nuts with some FR's

i think it looks great something different.. again what i like to see! its very similar to the datsun shape. and there is one going around my way, with 18 inch chromes and airbags and it looks great the condition of the body looks fantastic, for 3 grand.. cant be complaining there!

Would look mad with a set of cragers or equivalent. Gone are the days of "real" tuff street cars!

there a heap of **** how do i know cause i owned one spent a bit on the motor had weber and **** good cars in the snse hard to break but yeah good car to learn in thrashed the **** out of mine then spent money on it as any person does on their first car was putting a CA18DET in it but had to cancel the half cut due the car being pinched

you could have bought a decent calais for 5k instead of that shiit brown thing

yeah im sure i could have, didnt have 5k mate, people have their own opinions so thanks for yours. it looks more brown in the bottom pics, but its a bit more orange in real life. paint seems to change tinges in the light.

chuck a SR20 half cut and a 5 speed, some nice rims (even those but bigger) would set it off, nice paint.

cheers mate, its got a new 5 speed in it at the moment, so dont realy know if i will be changing that soon. engine is also ne, well basically every part is, the previous owner did everything. it even has one of the rear badges removed ready for a turbo badge lol. yeah gettin the GSR's on sunday probly, hopefully they look good. but really, if they dont it doesnt matter, im gettin em for free . cheers for the comments guys.

Car looks in good condition and looked after. I wouldnt put a turbo on it tho. Have to cost a fortune to mod the engine to suit. And can the rest of the car eg gearbox handle it? Id just drive it around as is for a year or 2 and then get something with more power.

yeah ive been thinkin that a turbo isnt probly the best idea, so even though the prev owner will be disapointed that aint gonna happen . will be gettin a vlct in a year or two hopefully. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

im sort of spewing i didnt sell it in adelaide $3k gee wiz here in melbourne you carnt even give them away anyways have fun with it mate if ya need spares think i mite have few still around i put a tx 5 trim in mine and measured the bay it will fit a 302 windsor or was it clevo carnt remeber the other option i looked at was 13b turbo but yeah decided on the CA18DET was going to be the easiest in the long run. got good borg warner diffs in them single spinners but they eventually ls but never broke one i broke 3 autos and 2 engines....Have fun with it champ Then my sister boyfriend bought one and bought the astron 2.4l with 5 spd behind **** that was a fun bush basher eheheh you could always do that as its a fairly easy conversion. From memory there's a galant wagon in sydney that runs 10's or 11's something like that number plates SPASTIK from memory. Oh i forgot i bought mine of my grandfather (RIP) had it since brand new so was mickey mouse been around the clock a few times dead original and i bought it of my gran for $300.00 ehehe Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looks good but $3k mmmm a motor swap would be nice... make it something different Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
