Wow, nice seats, man!

You are a fanatic. If I ever get the restoration bug, you will be one of my inspirations.

Love the fact that you're keeping it on the road, most people won't even think or restoring a car like this. I haven't seen a VR-4, let alone this gen. Galant in a very long time, most likely rusted out up here. Good luck with it.

Thought I would update this tread.


Aug 2013.
My seat belts have seen better days. They where frayed really bad and stained. This was the only pc in my interior that was looking bad. So I needed to replace it. Just ordered the lap belt pc I needed also. My interior is complete now.





Update 11/2013.
Rear skid plate: Hand built.







Front skid plate:



Update 12/2013.
Did more cleaning under the hood. Powder coated some parts.



Update 12/2013.
This is the next project. Factory gauges out of the Evo 8/9 MR.



Finished installing the gauges. Next off to the stereo shop for new head unit.



Also installed a stock exhaust head shield.



Thanks for looking and the kinds words.
