So it’s widely known that I love hatchbacks, and don’t really like sedans. And yet I drive a sedan. Well I just recently learned that in the European market my car was sold as a hatchback. Well not my car exactly, not the AWD Turbo Galant.

So someday I want to import a Galant hatch, maybe buy a Eclipse GSX parts car as well, and make a hybrid GVR4 hatch, with a 5 bolt conversion as well.This of coarse is a far off dream. I need to buy and build my dresm Civic first. That’s happening next year. This year is just going to be getting the Galant to a good DD/RallyX level.

There is a chance of coarse that this is impossible because the hatch has fold down seats, which the AWD Galants do not. So the whole rear end might be different similar to the problem MIghty Car Mods is having with thier AWD Mirca.

These were available with 4x4, I’ve seen several. I know VR-4 swaps have been done too.

A few years ago I had a thing for the Mitsubishi Galant estate, I think it was called a Legnum VR4 or something. Unfortunately they aren’t easy to come by as the Galant wasn’t popular towards the end and no one really bought them, ones that are around have been abused with kits and stuff.

I wish you alot of luck finding one in a few years time. Personally I can’t remember the last time I saw one here in the Netherlands, and the one in the top picture has been scrapped as an example.

I could only find a few hatches in a quick Europe wide search:

Only €600,-! Also this one

Or a very nice, but expensive:

That 92 is nice. I like the clear tailigjrs verses the big amber ones of the 89-91
