My 1999 mitsubishi Galant
 

Hey guys, I've been lurking on zilvia for quite some time, considering picking up a hatch here pretty soon. Thought I'd throw up a short little one about my daily/track/never ending project car. It's a 99 mitsubishi Galant that's been in my family since it was brand new, it was actually my mom's first new car since we moved to the United States. I started driving it 4 years ago after I parted out my MKIII Supra turbo to pay for part of my college education and I never thought I would ever mod this car. Here's a couple of photos to show what the car looked like, and what it looks like now, and a mod list. I have done all the work on this car myself.
