1997 E54A MITSUBISHI GALANT ES
In these photos the car still has the original factory paint job no rust and a few dings. The first photo was before I began the modification process and the second photo is a month later. And I am not even close to completion.
The car is now at 4GPerformance (www.4gperformance.net) in Woodstock Georgia for the next big job which will be a 4G63 Turbo engine, FMIC , AT swap to a GST 5spd manual and DSM link ecu. For starters we are shooting for a reliable 350-400 hp to the wheels. Once the mechanicals are complete then the body/paint revisions.
This car will eventually turn into a street legal "Time Attack" race car.I will be adding photos and more information on the modifications to the car as they are completed. Check page 3.
