    Galant VR-4 Restoration #129/1458

    Brake masters I always bleed in the vice ahead of time. Clutch masters I always mount to the firewall and hook up to the pedal and then bleed the cylinder itself before hooking up the line. It works nicely because someone can sit in the car and pump the pedal. I didn't take pics or show it, but...

    Brackets ... Mitsu loves brackets. Tried to pull off as many brackets as possible and get them ready for refresh.I've used Evaoporust before in other restores ... I like the stuff. Strips all the junk off back down to the bare metal.We got everything soaking in a container.Here's all the...

    Galant VR-4 Restoration #129/1458

    Mounting up the brake master cylinder was a little bit more than plug and play. Turned out the fittings for the feed lines from the reservoir were not facing the correct directions, so we had to reuse some fittings from the old cylinder. You can see the one on the left is angled away from the...

    GVR-4 Mitsu retainer / clip - available anywhere?

    Well I drew this up today based on the broken one I had. Problem is I don't have the pin part on the backside, so I'm kinda guessing based on some online photos. I don't have an actual one to base measurements off of. I guess I'll try 3D printing this and see how it works through trial and error.

    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...

    Galant VR-4 Restoration #129/1458

    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...
