Vince/PStar's Galant Colt Discussing

Recommended Posts

Riding home from work on pushbike Thursday night and one of these past me. I was all 'wow Wtf is that! That is cool and I want it!'.

I've never seen one before. It was a grey or gunmetal grey colour.

Are they very rare in nz? Very cool car.

Yay to modgies but definitely turbos would be better. I'm stoked my hb wagon came with a set of turbos.

 

Haha, they weren't super rare but most of them have rusted to death and used in paddocks etc so not toooo many left on the road now.

 

Wheels are very much a temp measure to get it rolling/going plus the idea is to spend as little money as humanly possible on it... buying the wrong bits isn't helping my case much haha.

 

There's actually a couple for sale at the moment which is nice

Oh my yes, I hope he has found those pillar vents now though!

 

Other than the gold accenting and wheels (including the yuck steering wheel), that is fucking sweeeeeeeeeeet.

 

Yeah, not a fan of that gold stuff personally... don't mind the wheels tbh but the exhaust tip is rancid lol... the factory steering wheels on these is rad, dunno why you would change it... shame I also don't have one lol.

 

For some reason I always picture old Mitsi's in some form of turd gold , so I guess it's kind of fitting.

edit: also think those wheels are perfect haha

GET ON WITH IT VINCE

 

I'm a fan of turd gold... I'm seriously considering a dark bronze sorta colour for this thing when it gets to fill rather than cutting holes... along these lines:

That scheme looks like it wants to be Italian.  

 

I'm sure I posted on here that Colt that is for sale...   I'll dig it up...

 

I'm Italian... fitting? I don't know lol

 

but yeah the gold on red is a very 90's supercar kinda vibe

I'll punch you in the pleasure pole if you paint it high gloss metallic rust.

 

lol, come visit :P

 

Have no clue on colour at this point but I like the idea of some bronze/poobrown concoction

 

in reality I suck at painting so will probably spray it in whatever colour rustguard works best, and spray it on the lawn ;)

If your after a steering wheel, I have a factory mitsi celeste one (similar to colt) kicking around that could be all yours for say $20?

It's three spoke and deep dish. Has horn pad too...

Ay

 

Consider it sold my good man :)

 

Will be in touch once I track down the rest of the steering system (just in case it comes with one) but consider me super keen...

 

Actually, fuckit, PM incoming

Awesome, still need to confirm exactly what's missing which will be a bit tricky until I put it back together, pretty sure I need outer door handles, definitely need a grill. Have a steering wheel but it's missing the bit that attaches the horn button etc so a wheel may be handy too, putting an 1800 in so motor bits less useful... I guess it depends on what you want for everything but keen to keep acquiring necessary bits
