Post Old School pics of your Galant

Post pics of your Galant when you first got it or early stages of when you started to mod your Galant. This thread should be cool for other members to see how far your Galant has come to its current state.

I'll start the thread.

-G-rim..the day after I my wife bought me the car. A full day of detailing.

July 2007
Just got my license, about to receive the Galant a few months later (handed down from my mother).



September 2007
Not too long after I completed my first mods, blacked out headlights and black finless grill. I think I did these within 2 weeks of my mom actually giving me the keys lol.

Here is the original Autotrader ad that my wife printed out when she was shopping for the car for me. Love her notes on details she wanted to know about the car :)
