Message: <blockquote data-quote="acbc" data-source="post: 513552" data-attributes="member: 1619">Back in 2000, my dad gave me his old Galant E33A (VR4's 2WD cousin) and I wanted to sell it off due to numerous problems here n there.So I went to the nearest Proton Edar (USPD at that time) to enquire about a trade-in offer for the Galant to a Putra (they only have auto).But at last, the sales fella told me, "Sorry sir, Putras no longer in production. Would you like to opt for Waja or GTi instead". I rejected both for 2 reasons - both cars are HOT stuff for thieves.With only an old car... I went to my family's mechanic for some advice - was not too fond of Galant at that time. He did a quick check and price estimates and set a budget. For RM 15k, he will rebuild the whole car (more like 70%).Took him more than 3 months to complete the job.Items:1. Change current 4G63 DOHC 16V N/T (Cyclone) to late model Galant - 4G63 DOHC 16V N/T (ECI-Multi).2. Remove / upgrade all old wiring from engine harness to minor such as lightings.3. New interiors, carpets and roof liner.4. Wrap all seats with leather. The old man (the one who sew the leather accidentally wrapped the seats with black leather).5. Upgrade to '89 VR4 bodykits from E39A.6. Upgrade to '87 VR4 front bumper and headlamps.7. Spray metallic black for entire car + oven baking.8. GAB absorbers all round.9. El-cheapo Taiwan 15" rims.10. Upgrade to '89 VR4 front grille.I kept everything else stock until 2003 from exhaust, auto tranny, disc brakes / pads and radio.2 years later, I plonked another RM 10k for other upgrades.Looking back at the stack of bills... nightmares! :o Overall, I would still take the Putra still for 1 reason... it is a coupe. Sporty and hot. And... highly moddable! Yes, the keyword... moddable! :lol: Well, I'm happy with my Galant now... yeah, there are problems here n there but being the family for 15 years - it is kinda to part away from it. My dad love the car so much that he went out and bought another Galant into the family... this time a pure stocker, grey in colour. Got some plans for this baby once its stock SOHC engine gives up.Right now... I've a new goal... to darken everything! Colour? Black! :P</blockquote>
