- What does a car look like after 158,000 miles and then sitting for 16 years straight? I've got the right place to do it so the time is now if you want to find out?
This episode is brought to you by my Patreon's. People who know that if they put ridiculous parts in my hands that I will bend myself over backwards to entertain you with the work that it takes to do cool things with your cars. You can have money, you can buy tools, you can find resources, but it takes work to achieve your dreams, and building my dreams on RUclips is work. If you'd like to watch a day earlier than everyone else, or get access to extra content, then join the people who make the biggest impact on what you see at / jafromobile
Perhaps it's 17 years? Either way you can imagine that everything that's on the car that can be serviced needs it. I've never been under this thing with a lift since I bought it, and I'm not just here to look at it. I pull a laundry list of parts off this thing in order to get to all the parts I need to rebuild. Everything on the undercarriage is scrutinized which I've never done to this one before. By the end of this video, everyone will understand just how much work it takes to bring back a 32 year old, rare JDM classic.
For those who may be unaware, the Galant was the predecessor chassis to the EVO platform. When the EVO was launched, it was launched on the Mirage chassis. But it was done from everything learned from the Galant. This car was well circulated globally but in the United States only 2,000 were ever licensed for sale in 1991 and 1,000 in 1992. This is #1229/2000. The kind of restoration it receives hinges largely on what I find in this video. Enjoy!
Love it Jafro! Looking forward to seeing a bunch more!
Miss your vids, Tom! Hope life is treating you well! Would love an update on all the cars if you still own them!
The car is actually a really great candidate for restoration. The front end damage isn’t horrible and will iron out fine. You will have quite a historical gem when complete. I look forward to watching it all happen. If you need any help with anything who has resorted dsm’s hit me up. Happy to help! And enjoy the process too!
It's actually extremely minor. The frame rails are off by less than 1/8", not creased or cracked anywhere. It's possible that rust hole in the fender well came from that bumper impact. It could have been as simple as a weak spot weld that popped loose when it got tweaked. Everything that bolts to the front end still lines up fine, and none of the body lines are crooked. The grille still fits but all the plastic clips were broken. It was held in with zip ties when I got it. I think whatever happened may have been repaired by a pro? That ding that bothers me... that's why I suspect it. If they did, they did a great job because I can't tell a difference in the paint at all. The clear coat failure on that panel is identical to what's everywhere else. This car's undercarriage is straighter than everything else in my driveway except for my F-150 that's about to celebrate only its 10th birthday.
@@Jafromobile yes, definitely very minuscule. Having a complete car with relatively only surface stuff to deal with is a win in any restoration. Third party new clips can be sourced since mits discontinued some of those. Basically the whole car can be brought back as much as you want it to and I suspect you want! 😃
I've had 1915/2000 for five years now, and I've wanted to do this since I first picked it up. Not sure if I ever will, this chassis carries so much fomo with parts becoming so hard to find, and many simply being discontinued, but I'll never sell it. Super excited to watch you restore this thing, there isn't remotely enough VR4 content out there.
So excited to see you kick ass on this thing and me learn some things ! Thanks jaffro
I say this every time I make a comment, seeing you inside out of the elements doing this work, warms the cockles of my heart. But furthermore, the lift, the LIFT baby! No more blue monday.
And yet another new project on the lift today, too, baby, YEAH! An object at rest can not be stopped!
Awesome. Time to take a break from work!
Okay. Getting my stuff together and leaving right now... I'll tell Shannon you okay'd it for me.
I love watching Jafro videos. This comment is specifically to manipulate the algorithms because I want more Jafro.
My granpa had a Galant i the 90s. It was a hatchback and it was the "limited edition" with a 2.0 liter injection engine. It was my favorite car all times! It's such a long time ago. Watching your video brings back memories.
It's almost the exact same car as this, it's a 4-door hatchback. Same body and wheelbase! I don't even remember these, but yeah... I just found an '87. Wow, that's nuts! It almost has the identical VR-4 trim on the doors, too. Very similar!
@@Jafromobile It was in Denmark. I was a kid. The car had super cushy velour seats. My mum called it the "whipcream car" because it felt so soft. It had cruise control, at the time, it was a quite rare option in Europe.
That definitely looks like a car worthy of a man's time to restore. I'm a fan of the VR4. I'm glad that it is getting your attention now, and you are right, it's still going to be a lot of work.......... and fun!
Breaking bad vibes minus the cooking 🤣🤣
After learning about the galant vr4 I did some research and stumbled upon this channel a little over 2 years ago. You jafro are part of the reason I want and currently searching for a gvr4, hopefully one day we will meet on the roads both driving our precious rides 😁
...or at the shootout, or at the drag strip... or at the grocery store! I'm glad I'm adding to this playlist. I binge watched it last Friday all in one sitting and was shocked that those were all videos I made. It was a looooong sitting! Those were not lightweight videos. Half of what I said I was doing with it has completely changed, but so have my capabilities, so it's all for the better. I hope this fully prepares your expectations!
save all vr-4 !!! jafro is back 23 is gonna be fire
I knew this video was likely to make you one of the happiest of all my viewers! ;)
@@Jafromobile 💪🏻 that shop was the move!!
Great day when jafro uploads a new full video. Thanks Jafro, have a great one!
Thanks man!
WooHoo! Some DSM goodness to start the week.
Back in the late eighties my friend dad had one and it was a great handling and fault car. I can't wait for more. Keep up the great educational work👍🏽👍🏽
Are you outside the US? We only got them here in the US in 1991-92.
@@Jafromobile his dad had it 90
Love your channel man the attention to detail is inspiring
I used to get so mad when the Sunday morning car shows didn't show the work. If you show all the work in a 1 hour show format, it looks more like this right here. All that normal-speed stuff fitting into only an hour means they cut 99% of the work in the big jobs out to fill what little of that show isn't about a sponsored product. The details are precisely what I want to give everyone. Thank you!
Oh, BTW, it's my birthday today and finding this video made my day. Thanks!
Love these cars. I had a 91 Belize Green with about 115k miles back in the early 2000s. Stupid fun car. I miss it but I don't miss working on it.
Spoiler alert, I'm keeping her Belize Green. There's no record of chassis color, just the available colors, and if I wanted to do a color change this would be the time to do it. But I'm not. When they're new and shiny, they're fantastic!
@@Jafromobile Good deal, I think the green just adds to the sleeper factor on these cars.
That only 1 year older than my 32...
This build is going to be awesome.
In some ways it's in better shape than my GSX. I've been all under it tonight, giving it the same treatment. It's okay, though. I caught both of them before their turning points. I agree, they're both going to be incredible!
@@Jafromobile next I need to see you do an RB25det box rebuild. I'm sure you've seen what happened to mine lol.
Are rare and majestic sleeper, this car is you Jafro. I can't wait to see it's final form. 👍
E39A, as my Favorite car ever, is restoring by, Jafro, my favorite youtuber ever ! I could not be happier!
I'm excited for this, motivates me to work on mine even though it's buried under 2 feet of snow.
I'm thinking warm thoughts for you!
Jaffro I started my car journey after a friend mentioned your videos. He's was like look you want to be any good? Watch this guy's videos. I was hooked the level of detail the care and most of all the knowledge and your way of being honest . I'll be joining your patreon here soon I also have a galant and I'm in va. When I drive through north Virginia I always think man what if I see him hahahhaha.
I started making my videos in the context of... "what questions did I have when I did this the first time", but now I'm plowing into uncharted territory. I've modified plenty of cars, but I've always wanted to completely restore a car. Be careful what you wish for, now I have to restore at least two of them.
I have become very fond of motorcycle chain wax for under my car. Any time I take a bolt out and put it back, chain wax. General undercoating of stuff, chain wax. It goes on wet and soaks in, then dries. Not hard to get off, not dust collecting when dry, fully waterproof, easy to replace and touch up. Doesn't smell like ass.
Key and Peele ruined chain wax for me. And I'd never even have known it's a real product but I do now... I'll have to check that stuff out.
i look forward to this restoration!
I replaced most of my exterior fasteners with copper ones that have been blackened with a chemical (the name escapes me now, but it was pretty common back when i did this). No rust, no fuss. It was well worth the cost.
goddamn, i still remember the commercials for these new, "jack be nimble, jack be quick....nice move jack" something like that
I'm surprised they spent money and time on the ad for only 3000 units, but I'm glad they did. They sold [out] so few of them here over such little time. Dealerships didn't sit on these. Most of them had a home already before they got here. It's shocking that Mitsubishi made the US market wait over a decade before attempting to sell another turbo 4-door here?
@@Jafromobile I will be 45 this year, and I distinctly remember as a kid seeing a commercial with candles and the tagline, “Jack, be nimble, Jack be quick… Nice move Jack “as the car does a really crazy maneuver. Maybe it was the Honda prelude?
@@JoeHynes284 I remember the ad you speak of because my stepdad got a kick out of it.
@@Jafromobile Damn, we are old
@@JoeHynes284 Yeah, probably. But we're only truly old once we forget how to play. Just like pets.
Nice to see another video from jafro.
There are cars 1/3 of the aged that are completely rusted out with holes in it, this car in amazing condition
YES! That's what I'm trying to show all of you. That's precisely what's so remarkable about it. You wouldn't believe the ones we looked at 25 years ago when he went shopping for them. The ones I pulled restoration parts off of a decade ago were all crispy critters. All of the things we discovered during the engine disassembly were known prior to its purchase and the history was exactly spot on with what we heard about it. It served its owner very well and was most definitely a car worth saving the first time. I'm glad it's in my hands where everyone else gets to see this.
My 91 Talon is all in pieces and in about that condition ...no holes and minor surface rust underneath ...great condition for east coast Canada ..ur giving me courage to keep at it !
Yeaaaahh, love that galant, some day i will do the same to my vw pointer (logus) , its been fighting his 26years and 3 previous owners, 2 of them where family members, and im the 4rth owner now, its been fighting me with maintenance, and im treating it like your elantra for now until i get it all his mecanical stuff fixed, and when its all right I'll be taking care of his body and paint. Men i appreciate your doble work, 1rs struggling on the car and 2cond documenting it for everyone to see! Keep up the good work men, its awesome!!!
Thank you for noticing, Cristian! It's ultimately the cars that are loved that make it, and we aren't any different. Keep fighting that good fight!
Yessssss!!!! So ready to see being this one back to life. Very good starting point too.
The cleaning went further, and I just keep getting happier with it. I can't wait to drop both subframes tomorrow!
@@Jafromobile always a good feeling! Can’t wait for more updates.
Man!! So glad I stumbled back on your channel man. I learned so much DSM stuff from you back in the day. Thanks a ton!
26:49 I thought my computer was screwing up LMAO
That thing is incredible. Favorite era of cars
There's a reason why this era is great. Remember that cars built before 1996 came void of tech, because there was no internet yet. For the most part that continued until around 2003. The engineers who graduated from college before 1996 did it on PAPER, no computers. Their version of a computer was typically called a "word processor", which is a glorified typewriter. The era when car companies didn't rely on selling cars that are packed with someone else's tech simply because their mechanical engineers suck. 90's cars were all about the driver and the road. Nobody makes cars like these anymore. I hope more people save them.
@Jafromobile well you're saving this one so thats a start! I've got a few Toyotas I'm trying to save.
@@42Goopy42 That's what I'm talking about! I started in the Toyota camp. That was the beginning of my tool collection. Cut my teeth on a 85 Xtra-Cab Deluxe.
@Jafromobile thats the exact same pickup I have! It was made a few weeks before they switched them to IFS. Love the thing. Going to keep it stock interior and cab/bed, but give it the motor I wish Toyota put in it. But I'll do it how yota woulda have done it.
@@42Goopy42 I miss the hell out of that 2WD extended cab truck. Best looking compact truck ever built. Bring back the butterfly windows!
Its happening! This is a treat. Mine has been on jack stands since last summer when my back gave out.
So did mine. Not fun! I don't know if you've had surgery or anything, but if not... I got an inversion table, spent a solid 9 months using it every day and dangit if the thing didn't put me back together again? I'm a stubborn SOB and don't want to do the surgery. Best $125 I've ever spent on Craigslist because I have all my mobility back now. I've been taking it easier on my skeleton, trying not to carry big awkward things without help, and I've been pain free for about 10 months now. For what it did it for me, it's priceless. I don't recommend it if you've had surgery.
Yeah, I threw my back out before I rewired the Hyundai. I never quit making videos. You just have to be good to yourself. Maybe do things different? When I broke my picking hand I had to buy another 6 string to motivate me to get back on that horse and do the physical therapy until playing it didn't hurt. Sometimes we need these motivators.
@@Jafromobile I have not had surgery yet. It has been recommended, now that Ive gone through 6 months of PT and other treatments. I did pick up an inversion table and since Ive been able to get on the thing, its been great. I couldn't lay flat on my back for a while. Ive been having success with the table and Pilates. I still have yet to make a decision on surgery and suppose if there is improvement then I should keep seeing how far that improvement can go. One day at a time.
@@2grippy2 I'm actually really happy to hear that! The nature of my injury left me unable to stand straight without severe pain. I had a lean to the left. After I got the inversion table fully upside down, I felt a "pop" in my lower back and it was like I was suddenly cured. I flipped back over and immediately felt fine. But pick anything heavy up or move wrong and it would pop right back out putting me in severe pain until I climbed on that thing again. The sensation of that "pop" became something I craved. At first I was using it 5-6x a day. The key for me was to fully relax every muscle while hanging from it. Stick to it man! It takes time. The progress you can make with inversion can give you a false sense of security, though. Give it the time it takes. You might feel fine, but take it easy on yourself. The longer I could keep my back in the temporarily-straightened state depended on not moving wrong or lifting heavy things, and the longer I kept it that way, the tougher it got. This was almost 3 years ago when I started, and I haven't used that thing in the past 9 months. It's still in the middle of my living room just in case... I suppose I haven't let go of it yet... but you see the kind of work I'm doing here today. That thing saved me.
@@Jafromobile Crazy the similarities to my situation, though I have yet to experience pops of that nature. Thank you for the encouragement. This past week things are finally at the point where progress is becoming more noticeable. My inversion table will most likely stick around. It's so great.
Man, I simply love the Mitsubishi models from that time period. In the mid to late 80ies and early 90ies Mitsubishi made some truely good cars. They where fun to drive, easy to work on and service and usually where super reliable. It's why I still own a Colt C52 (the model sold from 88 to 92) and a Lancer C12 Stationwagon (sold from 85 to 92) and will never sell them, besides at least over here those cars are getting really rare now, according to the KBA (its basically the central government agency that has the data of all cars registered in germany) there are only around 60 C12 Lancers left registered in all of germany and only around 90 C50 Colt left, so I kinda feel that I need to preserve those cars.
The Gallant VR4 is so underrated!
This is really gonna be a “while I’m in here” project.
They all are.
Sweet man im glad we met at the shootout. Following every video.
We have to do it again. Have to. No choice. You read this in my voice.
@@Jafromobile ok ill. Be there.
Mitsubishi has made some amazing cars. Starion, gallant vr4, diamante vrx, evolution. If they made their basic cars with the same quality they'd have given Toyota a run for their money.
Amen! The Galant is certainly special. Note where that fuel pump disconnect is located. A custom frenched 2-piece metal clamshell with wiring harness trough. Completely armored and shielded from the rest of that trunk. I said very little, and what little I said I actually edited out. But even though it's easy to take for granted, it's actually a fairly complicated piece of detail work that Mitsubishi put themselves through. The Galant is filled with stuff like this.
Great video, Jafro, and I'm not just saying that because I like the car. The highs and lows, the ups and downs, and the "dips" all credit to the director and script writer. I enjoyed it as always!
I needed all of this. I only got to spend a tiny bit of time each night checking off one or two of those boxes all month, and found so many things to be happy with that it cheered me up all month. I spent the whole night under it tonight cleaning, degreasing and hand-washing all the parts that were behind both bumpers. Didn't need to film any more of that. None of it's video worthy. You'll see it all clean at the start of the next video, and just like all month long, it only got better. I always appreciate your enthusiasm, brother!
record all those broken bolts and it will be youtube gold, we will watch that video like crazy
One of my dream cars! The next time I see one I don't care I'm probably going to buy it. Great videos!
A cordless impact is a great friend for removing small rusted bolts/nuts. a light rattle and lots of penetrant will often move them.
Matt keeps telling me. I have one that sucks. Ever since I built the Galant's cylinder head I keep spending money on parts instead of tools. What's wrong with me?
Very much stoked for this!
What, Jafro sanding metal for 8 more videos? LOL! ;)
A new project = totally brilliant!
Keep up the good work Jafro. It's going to look great.
Excited, more quality dsm content!
I mean... sort of? It's technically not... it's just so interchangeable!
Jafro get a GTi bumper for that galant. It would look way cooler
Nooooooooo the other G-DSM!!
Hope things go smoothly on the Galant
Things ARE going smoothly on the Galant! Don't worry, your wish will come true. It's February. The GSX is already my valentine.
love your videos, excited for this project!
Awesome!!! Can't wait for next video!
Me neither, because nothing I've done in that shop for the past week has been video worthy! 😂 It's all just dirty, disgusting things and carrying truckloads of heavy stuff in to make the next video better. I'd love for that video to start already because it's actually the fun part and I'm working my butt off! You, me, same!
great vid again jafro! my neighbour had car like that over 10 years ago now, it was friking mint, looked like new car and better than most new cars :D
I have had my 1991 Galant vr4 RS sitting in storage for the last 9 years, next month its coming out of storage and home in the garage so I can pick up where I left off.
Atta boy! Tell me it wasn't the all wheel steering that did it in?
Thanx so much for this video.. am watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Well the vr4 getting some well need attention I remember when you got it from the side of your buddy house I can't wait for more jefro 👍
good stuff jafro! makes me want to keep working on my DSMs.
That's precisely the reason why I'm doing this! ;) Things tend to keep living for as long as they're loved.
Amazing as always 👍
I've got a set of headlights and corners if you need them.
Thanks Dave! Me too, though. The ones on the car right now are JDM market corners with an extra bulb in each one. I've already over-collected parts for this project. I have 2 giant shelves full of original parts that came off of this thing, and so many others scouted I can't even fit them on shelves. Some of them are going back on it, but at some point I'm going to have to give them back to the faithful, too. Just like you!
By far my favorite car of yours can't wait for more. Keep up the content
This gives me motivation again. I am also restoring the underbody (on jack stands btw :D) of my daily driver mazda 6. And it actually looks very great for a 14 year old car that lived it's whole life in Germany. It's only surface rust but I am just way too picky and I wan't it to be perfect. And that's also mainly one reason I get demotivated so quick apart from it costing me way more money then I wanted it too. It's just me being way to pinicky, thus making the job way more difficult and time consuming that I wanted it would be. But i'll get there sooner or later I hope.
I'm pretty sure 90% of what I've seen as far as surface rust will clean up with steel wool. Sometimes you get lucky? All that detail work you're doing is paying it forward, either for yourself or the next person that ends up in there. It's the picky mechanics that leave behind a car in as good of shape as this 32 year old example. This one was meticulously cleaned and cared for by an owner that replaced fasteners, parts, waxed it and maintained it. It's all still here. I'm grateful for those kinds of car owners.
I am tempted to find a hoist to get under my Fastiva to give the underbody a scrub and a spray but to be fair the grime and oil from when the front main seal was leaking is my rust preventative.
That stuff works great, too!
Should fluid film or surface shield the bottom of that thing to keep it like that!
I've been recommended chain wax.
@@Jafromobile Yea theres tons of products, crc makes some too, boeshield t9...
Nice!
Jafro, don't restore the 4WS. Back when I had a GVR4, I swapped out the stock 3 bolt rear end for a 4 bolt with LSD which eliminated the 4WS. The LSD made a huge difference and I never liked the 4WS. It always felt delayed. I even changed the power steering reservoir to a DSM one without the fluid sensor.
Can’t wait to see this Jafro!!! I’ve been waiting for an upload with the galant for some time now and this is gonna be awesome to see.
I'll be keeping it rolling! It got plenty more work that didn't need to be filmed, but it's staged for continued action. Got a ton accomplished this weekend!
Love this channel dude your awesome
Thanks, bud! Forensic repairs!
Hi jafro!
Looks like another great video
Jafro, What do you think of the LegitStreetCars, built motor, carbon fiber, cheap custom talon? (if you happened to see it yet)
Best of luck on the resto!
Are we going zinc plated bolts, OEM plus restoration perhaps on Greenie?
I've got a fastener guy. I'm going to buy bags of these things. All gonna be new! Most all... Some will get black oxide. Many from the engine bay already have. You saw that video. ;)
When I restored the 1g and 2g dsm I used nice new yellow “gold” plated hardware form Belmetric. Very close or stock looking.
that's going to take a while to polish to mirror shine
Don't I know it!!!!! Yes it will!
this i really look forward to following along with! a really nice model to restore and a really nice car for its time. i want one! =D
If you don't mind RHD, perhaps you might get lucky with a JDM importer? I did also see a 92 Mirage Syborg pop up here locally once, and almost bought it... but I had the Galant already. The Syborg is essentially a 1.6L turbo AWD Mirage sedan. Miniature Galant VR-4. It looked like someone washed a GVR-4 in cold water.
I'm thinking at least a decade till completion. Life happens.
Nah. Not that long. I'm paying rent here. Life is happening to me right now as I type, and I'm still making tons of progress on three cars. ; )
I bet a PDR tech could massage all those dents out without much issue. No welding, no grinding…
Just wanted to throw this out there Jafro... a while back i found the joints for the driveshaft on rockauto for a fraction of the price
I thought about hunting alternatives, but one of my absolute favorite vendors had it, one who's saved me months of searching for parts collectively, and I decided to plug them because they too should be able to eat food. They deserve good food! I encourage everyone out there to shop within their means.
@@Jafromobile that’s cool, bearings are also one of those things where it’s worth spending extra coin to get good ones.
Hey jaff its actually no more Tears as in ripping
LOL! Good gravy, that's a terrible problem to have with your wig! Or your baby in general.
@@Jafromobile lol ur awesome jaff keep up the great work
Great first step is weight reduction ! The more it rusts the faster it goes !
Love the content and how you put your videos together. Long time supporter and look forward to all your upcoming content. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
All this time I've just trying to bring you with me, but you've been right here all along. You're seeing the difference you're making.
👍👍
Put the polished head on this one. Also when is part 9 coming out? Really looking forward to it!
I was supposed to arrange part 9 with a vendor. Out of my control, and not the vendors fault, my plans were changed FOR me. I know this is temporary, but it's likely why you saw me move another part of the project in front of that. Progress never stops. Back when I had only a 1-car-hole garage, this kind of thing happening was a production-crushing problem, but the shop lets me fix that! I'm so glad to have this shop!
@@Jafromobile I'm glad for you too. Hope they figure it out on their end. You've inspired me to polish my spare 2JZ GE head.
How many more decades until the GSX gets together? Been waiting on it since I was in high school😭
Dry ice blasting? Really not bad considering her age.
I thought about it and even looked up the cost of the equipment, but ultimately if it were worth exploring, the paint and subsurface below what's being removed would have needed to be perfect. It's not. All of it has to be repainted. The cheapest, most Chinese machines start at $2,500. The average dry ice blaster setup worth having is well over 5 figures.
@@Jafromobile yeah no harbor freight prices solutions available yet for DIB’ing. TommyFyeah has a top of the line DIB setup with the filtering system, and Kiaser compressor setup. He charges $300 an hour to do DIB’ing.
Why didn't you just dip the car in pb blaster?
i thought most people welded up disabled rear steer on cars that have it
In Virginia, you can't pass safety inspection legally if you do that. But yes, absolutely, you are correct. A GVR-4 does not even need 4WS. But it came with it, which presents my quandary.
Meowwww!!!
I put one in there...
How come you haven't decided expand the garage at the house,looks like you have plenty room for a 3 bay garage. With space to park between garage and house.
Attached 2bay garage pollbarn to your nifty one car garage.
Luckky
Call yasself a mobile PDR guy for the body.
I thought about it... I also thought about buying all of that guy's tools and learning to better appreciate what it is they do! It would give me a leg up on the rest of the body, that's for sure. Even if I do, I still have to block sand everything, though. There's enough wrong otherwise that I can't avoid it.
@@Jafromobile I guess it comes down to how much of the rarest currency you have available - time. I see you getting greyer, just like me. 🤣 In an hour they can spoon out all the little dings and just about remove the need for Satan's mucus (bondo), which skips past 2-3 rounds of filling and sanding per.
Jafro, what will it take to get you to Corn Row your hair?
I live in a very liberal state. I would be accused of cultural appropriation. Wet blankets. All of them. My hair is so thick it would be awesome!
Where did you find a shop?
About 1,826 feet from my front porch! It's location isn't posted, but I did make a video about it several months ago...
@@Jafromobile Is it your's did you build it?
LOL! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD I'M RENAMING THAT VIDEO! LOL! Maybe I should repost it? 141,000 subs but like 6 or 7k watched it. LOL!
@@coffeefish sorry 10.8k. A few people caught up. It was moving my cars to the shop that nobody watched. My bad, lol. I'll rename it.
@@Jafromobile Your channel grew by leaps and bounds. Congrats!
Your gunna get old and be in a retirement home be for the gsx gets done this car should not come be for the gsx you have had the gsx on the back burner alot longer then this car
The GSX is not on the back burner. It's right next to this Galant. If it's inside the shop, it's being worked on. It just doesn't have a video yet is all. That GSX has had $5,300 poured into it since the last full video about it. The next video about it will be a $3,500 video. But yeah, I don't disagree with you about the retirement home. The worst thing I could have ever done about restoring these cars is make 4K videos about them as a 1 man operation. It's the videos that take time, not the work. The videos I make are what all the TV shows cut out so they can market products to you instead. There's a reason why they cut this stuff out. If I can't bring these cars with me to the retirement home, and if they don't have a lift available, then they're not getting my business!
Specifically, 2 lifts. One for me, and one for the car. I've thought more on this, I want my nurses to carry me around under my car while it's on the lift so I can wrench on it. If I plan my retirement investments correctly, or get into politics, perhaps?
Love your videos Jafro!
Was honestly very close to picking up a Galant VR4 in ABQ NM but ended up passing on it
Kinda sad about it but I did end up picking a 1998 GST with 157000 that lived in ABQ its whole life. Only mod it had was a brand new Big 16g that the second owner had put on about a week to me purchasing it. Im doing EXACTLY what youre doing with the Galant... well minus the LIFT lol
I inherited a whole colony of black widows with the GST 😂😂
Bro, we've got those HERE. I inherited several colonies of those with the purchase of my used garage air conditioner a decade ago. Actually picked it up and carried it by the nests in each corner when I bought it. Found big mama when I got home and breathed a huge creeped out sigh of relief that I didn't get bit. Spiders love cars that sit because so do all the other bugs.
badass! You should still asfo the inside of the frame rails for corrosion you dont see.
You know Jafro. I’ve been waiting years for this video. I’m so excited for you. 🫶🫶
Brother, it's happening! Wait until you see what's in store... It just looks like a whole lot of work right now! It already tells a wonderful story. With those miles, it lived a good life already. In its condition it was well loved. I can't take the miles off, but I can give it many more years.
