    Galant VR-4 Restoration #129/1458

    Thanks! I documented a restoration of another car on different forum and it ended up being 34 pages! ROFL Hopefully when this is done it'll be a pretty thorough guide for anyone looking to restore a VR4.

    Now that we got the car pushed back inside, it's time to get to work on the actual painting.This is a brush-on gloss enamel Rustoleum paint. It takes time, but the results are worth it.Got some more drivers side, firewall and crossmembers to go, but this is as far as we got tonight...

    Pushed the car outside. Now, that everything is taped off we wanted to give the engine bay a good power washing just to get any grime off before we start the painting process. To be honest, this engine bay is one of the least grimy ones I've ever seen so this step is really just precautionary...

    More updates from this week. Grabbed some rolls of tape and started taping off all the lines in the engine bay.It took some work, but we were also able to remove the sound deadening on the firewall so can get a nice coat of paint behind it. I think we only cut it in 3 places.

    22/1000 galant saved from junkyard.

    I can't believe the seats are rotted like that. I don't think I've ever seen anything like in my life. I guess that what happens when a car is shut up outside for years at a time.If you can find one, there are a bunch of guys who swap EVO interiors into the Galant. I've never done it, but it...

    GVR-4 GVR-4 gurus ... this line?

    Am I correct in assuming this is a heater core/AC drain line? It was disconnected and just hanging here.For context, this at the bottom of the firewall, passenger side, right next to where the charcoal canister sits.

    GVR-4 Mitsu retainer / clip - available anywhere?

    I actually have a bunch of those ^^^ and thought of that. I might go that route. I'll try drawing and 3D printing them first, if that doesn't work this will be my backup.

    Galant VR-4 Restoration #129/1458

    Picking up where we left off this weekend we started by removing the clutch and brake master cylinders and booster.Pulling the cotter pins on these inside the car wasn't as bad as I thought it might be.Takes a little bit of patience to get the booster out. It's pretty tight against the...

    Galant VR-4 Restoration #129/1458

    Worked on the car a couple of nights ago as well. This time we were focused on removing things on the firewall. If you've never noticed before, Mitsu had an obsession with brackets in the 80's & 90s. They would bolt brackets to brackets and then another bracket to that to hold it on the car...

    Glad to see you check in!! I expect to be making a TON of progress from now through the summer months. And for anyone that ever needs to deal with this guy ^^^ totally honest and easy to work with. I think everyone gets a tad bit nervous buying a car site unseen, but this transaction was...
