Very cool😄

No engine?😂

Thanks! A newbie here. Looked like the nobrainer, you helped make my decision to settle for this one. Price has gone up to $199. Btw the user manual has the settings reference. True who reads the UM after buying it!😂

2pack?

Awesome car bud ,very well earned I must say, love home-grown builds 🎉

Sunbird four cylinder

it's looking really good daz, like all rastos it's 90% prep work ! another great video mate have a great shristmas and stay safe

Mine seems not to be working. Bought it at a pawn shop

Don't take that back for filler just scuff with 120 or 180 and use fine fill, it'll be fine

I feel for you, Darren! Keep going; it’ll be well worth it in the end.

one of the adelaide wreckers has got a 4 door galant about the same model as yours still has a lot of parts on it dash cluster / pad etc seats / panels might be worth contacting them think it was elizabeth you puull it

As harsh as it is you are doing it right ! You have put in so much hard work and to ignore it now would for ever bug you …. Great job as always Darren thanks for sharing the journey and all the ups and downs that come with a big resto ! Excited for the new year and see this beautiful car come back to life

Merry Christmas Daz. Like you said if you leave it when you know about it, it'll haunt you EVERYTIME you see it. And yep you're spot on.... big projects, particularly olf vehicles that have seen plenty of use in their previous life inevitably have battle wounds and scars that you don't want reminders of when doing a schmick rebuild. I know sanding back is a bitch,.... well it's one of my least favourite jobs, but the more effort to get it smooth means a better looking product at the end. Enjoy your Christmas mate, hopefully get a bit of ski time on the lake and come back to it when you're ready.

Merry Xmas mate you're getting there music in background sounds like Duct tape Duct tape grab the duct tape Lol Has a NF Fairlane Ghia hail damage to roof put skin coat of filler on whole roof wide filler applicator in your case as you say drivers' side to rear pillar repair using a wide block to block back to find highs and lows then epoxy primer sealer etc guide coat filler high build primer etc Make your own Panel stands pick up some free wooden pine pallets left on nature strips cut them up and knock them up free could even join 2 and put hinges on top so they fold up with rope through the legs and a connecting board from each end

Unreal job

I got 2x 4 doors in my yard, one is a mostly orginal GD with a belt drive 1.6. with a 5 speed. I have a manafold for a single DCOE 45, and long tube extractors for that. In the front yard, is the GC Rally car for parts. It's got a 2ltr 4g52, standard carbies and a factory log manafold. Plan is to run the 1.6 till i blow it up, then decide wether to put the 2ltr in, or k24 swap it. I may or may not have a honda accord euro ready....

Loved these old Galants back in the day when I was working for Mitsubishi, mates use to run the 2.6 Sigma motor turboed, use to keep up with the RX3's alright.

This music holy heck I’m gonna go pop a pill

Darren, I have two going and registered Hardtops. A GD and a GC. I also have a few parts if you need. Try rare spares for rubber kits. Reach out if you need some pics on detail etc. David

Sickkkkkk

Loving the resto mate, looks so incredible ❤❤ Please keep posting more on this

Awesome car, love the UC to LX conversion so many hours of work in this impressive car.

Love the UC to LX conversion, lots of hours of work in this impressive car!

Colour makes it all feel worth while. Getting close now. 👌

starting to look like a good thing mate, just one thing, do you have front and rear glass ? the front screen is diffrent to the sedan and was hard to get 30 years ago when i was playing with mine . might be a good idea to order one now if you need a screen it could take a while to get one

I'm doing a HG KINGSWOOD UTE myself

They were a cool looking little car especially the Galant GTO.

Looks fantastic 👌 👍 😊

My first car was a 4dr gb Chrysler Galant. I only ever seen 2 other but never seen a coupe. I'll be watching this one for sure buddy. Merry Christmas.

Progressing nicely mate. It's great to see that you can get away with the cheap supercheap brands etc to shoot primer. My thoughts are you can get a great finish without guns that are worth thousands. Sure, the finish may not be as perfectly layed down as those top brand expensive guns but all it requires is a bit of extra yakka to cut and buff, and you'd never know. I certainly makes no sense for primers when you're blocking block anyway to make a smooth surface for mechanical adherance of colour and clear. I'm with you mate on the masking tape, I've found I can't go the real cheaper stuff cause it doesn't stick well enough or it sticks too well and tears soft paint off edges. Unfortunately the expensive stuff is what's needed for crisp edges as well as soft edges but like you, I dunno why sticky paper costs so much.

Looking good! I hope our old one -- Beryl -- has had a similar revamp since we sold it

Awesome stuff! Black hood will be killer too :D

Looking forward to seeing the chosen colour scheme.

Looking the goods mate ! Enjoy the brew , you have certainly earned it ….moving forward in leaps and bounds now

Is that a little tease of colour I see?

Looking grouse! Thaaank yop. 😂

that little plate is called an Escutcheon has multiple meanings, including a decorative plate, a shield, and a component in plumbing: looking goooood daz

Very interesting to see one of these getting restored, I worked for a Mitsubishi and Hyundai dealer way back when I did my panelbeating apprenticeship in the late 80's. Where I live (the Shetland Isles which is the furthest north islands in the UK) these things hardly lasted more than a few years due to the tough climate. The dealer sold quite a few of them over the years because of their reliability but certainly not for their ability to stand up to salty air! Good project and I'll keep an eye on your videos.

Wonderful job on the door trims be patient with the bodywork you will be rewarded I've missed out what colour have you chosen Darren

Love your work Daz.

Geez thats awesome. I wanna get an old fairlane to do that to. Like an NF or NL.I also have a mk2 escort that I want to start on. The only reason I haven't started, is because I don't have any talent. I just want it done. But I don't know where to start? It's such a massive task to restore a car. I don't want to get half way through and give up. It was my first car. So it deserves to be driven. Not wasting away in a shed! I love the galant too. It looks like it's going to be a great car, once it's finished.

Good to see some progress. Quite a big project. All the extra effort will be worth it in the end result.

Coming together very nicely! Really, really looking forward to seeing how the door cards and seats turn out.

Correct on all fronts re door bits .. sedans lock from the top and only have a small arm rest ! Glad you changed to Masonite defiantly the right call Daz .. getting close now , can’t wait to see it in its new colour …. Very exciting !

Hey mate by chance do you still have the old rear garnish for the gd? I’m chasing one to purchase for my gd

Great job! How long did it take you to complete the whole thing?

Please be careful cutting and dancing MDF, as it’s emerging as a bit of a lung health issue. Those cards are looking great but you may need to cut a rectangular section out for the internal door lock lever, as it sits in a concave box a bit like the internal door lever does but smaller. I’m not sure if they’re available - probably not - but maybe someone could 3D print some, or you could come up with your own alternative, which you clearly have the skills to so.

Bold but effective work! Another nice cameo for my hardtop. I’m looking forward to seeing the completed car.

You’ve probably made the right choice, Darren. I had one recovered by a well known dash repair service and it wouldn’t fit, thanks to shrinkage. Here’s the sorry tale, photos and all: uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com/2017/08/final-touches-dashboard-doctor.html.
