If it's going to be modified, I hope you don't mind working on the car a lot. I find that something is always going wrong with it. I never have a problem with my Talon but the Galant is an older car and bound to have problems. It's usually stuff just wearing out or leaking. It will take as much work as any 1G that's been on the road for ten years. But for all the work it takes to keep it running well, it's worth it to have a 400hp winter beater :)
