This is the new daily driver. Car has 117k and the engine has only 77k. It was originally a cam-failed SHO and the new engine was put in only months before I purchased it. Cams are now welded and it just had a rebuilt transmission put in it so I'm hoping it will last awhile. Only mods done so far are tint, 1999 parking lights and tail lights, silver gauge bezel, and removed the mufflers. Eventually I will look into clear corner markers, and black 19's. Also maybe a helping of 1999 headlights. Overall, my Galant will end up getting all my attention.

After a quick wash.

Some new interior pictures. Swapped in the 1999 cupholder instead of the flipout that doesn't hold anything. Also installed a chrome shifter button from a Sable.

Swapped out the ugly original Mach tweeter grilles for the newer style from a Gen4 Taurus.

And finally a silver gauge bezel from a 1999 SHO
