Welcome to Tarmac & Gravel

After attending the Prescott Rally in 2005, I knew I had to build a rally car. Being a dedicated DSMer, I knew I had to build a Mitsubishi. I bought 1991 Galant VR4 195/2000. But then I thought, these cars are far too rare and way too sweet for me to build one up just to stuff it in a ditch somewhere near the border, so at the Prescott Rally in 2008, I lucked out and found 1992 Galant VR4 464/1000.

This site is dedicated to [464] Tarmac & [195] Gravel. One to stay clean. One to press on regardless.

What’s Wrong With This Picture?

Holy Moly!

Nothing!  Nothing’s wrong with this picture.  Doesn’t matter that the car is dirty.  Doesn’t matter that there are books sitting on top of the dirt right on the paint.  It doesn’t even matter that the sunroof is leaned up against the backs of the front seats.  I meant to do that.

Rally cars can’t have sunroofs in them and the sunroof in 464/1000 is busted (mechanically), so I finally got the sunroof taken out of 195 today.  The hardest part wasn’t carefully lowering the 80lb assembly without dropping it, but trying to carefully remove 17 year old interior trim pieces that were brittle.  I tried to save as much as I could in case something breaks on 464 when I pull the janky sunroof out in the near future.

Here’s pictures of the sunroof assembly where the backseat used to be and the backseat where the lawn mower used to be.

So much for getting 2 cars in there...

I wonder if I could turn the GVR4 back seat into a little loveseat or something for the garage…
