Starting this thread to document my journey with my Galant. I’ll try to post updates consistently and would love input from fellow PakWheelers, especially regarding maintenance and parts sourcing.
Picked the car up on 9th September in Lahore for 20,00,000. On the drive back to Islamabad, the original sunroof glass blew off (yep, not fun). Got it temporarily replaced the very next day with a 2005 Corolla sunroof glass which surprisingly fits well. Also had a ball joint pressed and got tints installed.
Initial expenses so far:
- Purchase price: 20,00,000
- Corolla 2005 sunroof glass: 26,000
- Ball joint pressed: 6,500
- Tints: 20,000
Total: 20,52,500
If anyone knows reliable sources for Galant body parts and spares in Pakistan, please share. In particular, I’m on the lookout for a proper replacement sunroof glass since the Corolla one isn’t fully water-sealed.
Sharing a few pictures I took on day one below.
