MASSIVE project update - the highs and lows of old car building! - Galant Hardtop Build EP 15

HUGE progress in this episode.
The 1976 Galant hardtop is really coming along now. Super happy with the progress....as with most of my videos there are highs and lows with the aim to make the highs more frequent than the lows. But progress is being made and it feels like it is speeding up. In this video there is cutting, welding, grinding, sanding and painting! A few surprises are thrown in and of course a visit or two to the hardware store results.

A lot of items on the to-do list still but progress is progress…and it is very rewarding.

Thanks so much for watching. I hope you're enjoying the build series as much as I am enjoying making it!

Please remember to like, comment and subscribe.
I am super keen to hear your feedback or ideas for the build. It is being built and uploaded in real time so changes can be made!

Love watching you bringing this little beauty back to life. As a Mitsubishi follower and collector this little Galant started my love affair of Mitsubishi products. I drove one of these a few times when a friend owned one before I got my full license in 1977. His was a new yellow colour which really stood out. By 1978 his Galant had cover 290, 000km. By 1980 it had done 400, 000km. Love the yellow and would love to see another one in yellow again. Great video again. Thank you.

Tools fail now and then but your positive attitude and willingness to adapt kept the project moving forward ! Great stuff as always mate and it looks great in 1 colour, really shows the beautiful shape of the hardtop .

Another great episode Daz. You touched on something that I should have as well, a backup tool cause they always fail when you need them most. I'm with you on the electric tools over air. I don't know whether it's the consistent torque delivery or just that I hate the sound of compressors pressurising. Nice job on the etch too, it's amazing how that first prime shows up the lines of the car especially when wet. I'm a big fan of epotech but I don't have the safety equipment and filtered environment for spraying that carcinogenic stuff. It does self level nicely though when it's sprayed on. That brown stuff really did look like rust on camera but it could have also been a contaminant reaction. It seemed to come off pretty easy with the DA.

Avid new channel Fan, what you work on all the time is far more interesting than those wankers with Lambo’s/ Ferarri’s etc.
