my second mid sized sedan- the galant 7G

The Mitsubishi Galant is an automobile manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors between 1969 and 2012. The name was derived from the French word galant, meaning "chivalrous".source -wikipedia.  There have been nine distinct generations, and cumulative sales now exceed five million.[excluding the second hand market]  It began as a  sedan, [in the 70s] but over the course of its life has evolved into a larger mid-sized car, as big as the nissan cefiro , the honda accord.
Seventh generation (E52, E53, E54, E57, E64, E72, E77, E84, E88)
A new Galant debuted in 1992 (model year 1994 in America), available as a four-door sedan and five-door liftback (sedan only in America). A Japan-only hardtop derivative called the Jdm name Emeraude , a french word for emerald was also launched in 1992.
This generation marked a substantial change in suspension design. The front switched from struts to a multi-link structure featuring two lower arms and one upper arm. The rear switched from a beam axle to a newly designed multi-link system. 
this 7th Gen galant is available here in the Philippines when I was studying in AMACC during my college days, the popular being the galant vr6 with 6a12 engine [v6 24v] manual tranny, and a much conservative 4g63A with automatic transmission.
other rare models are the viento, the original vr4 167 hp (125 kW) naturally aspirated 2.5 L 24-valve DOHC engine, which was mounted with four-wheel drive, 5-speed manual transmission and four-wheel-steering. Body styles were 4-door sedan and 5-door hatchback. Rear differential was not available with limited-slip. In option were sunroof, A/C, cruise control, power windows, central locking, electrical heated seats and electrical side-mirrors. a much rarer version is the seventh generation VR-4 chaning the old four-cylinder engine [of the supersaloon and PHDM vr4 ] in favour of a smoother two litre V6 twin turbo. 2.0 L V6 twin turbo 6A12 177kw . The four wheel drive transmission was retained. 

rare models like the original vr4 (not sold here in PH) have 4wd sunroof, racing seats, 200hp stock for 7G body trims and almost 300hp stock for 8G body trims.

I got my Galant on August 15, 2014 from a friend I met on the internet. its an early model grey 1994 7G supersaloon with 132k on the odometer, and a 2.0 4g63a 'fuel efficient' sohc motor, its already road worthy, cold aircon runs fine,  I know there are some minor repairs to be made to make it stand out.
HERE ARE THE LIST OF MINOR REPAIRS THATS NEEDED TO BE ATTEND TO:
1. radiator cleaning
2. tune up change spark plugs and o-rings
3. power window and door locks, [rear pasenger] striker [driver side]
4. full window detailing
5. rain gutter
6. rear wiper
7. headlight tailight [Emeraude version]
8. interior makeovr[ leather uphostery, ceiling handles, dome lights, aircon vents]
9. tires
10. paintjob an estimate of 40k budget will be allotted for this make over.
I promise you, you wont recognize this again after a month

the paint is fresh on pic, but I know this unit needed a major make over to make it stand out.

engine bay is fairly clean, but needs a waterless detail I noticed that the right turn signal light is not properly alligned and no foglamps were present. I need to change the whole headlight assembly if I found one,

interior is fresh, needed to upgrade the seats to match the VIP setup

the interior is fine with me, just needs to get the old odor out, reuphoster the momo steering wheel and put a 2din headunit

 THE NEXT DAY, I went to my friend Architect David and Marlon of Trapik Audio for some help in the following first upgrades for the first week.
1. HID foglamps, and HID white headlights.
2.electrical, repair of modules, for power window, door locks
3. radiator cleaning and tune up. removed thermostat
