Ralph1 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hi all, I'm back in the starlet game, after break I have just bought another, my 3rd, I bought it over the interwebs sight unseen, only pics, whilst it looked okay the body is rougher than I thought, ah well, perfect excuse for a repaint. I just sold a car to finance this build, been wanting to go all out for years, now I can. This was an ex Qantas car and only run around the flightline, good thing is when I picked it up it had 15,500kms on it, winner!! Drove it back from Sydney and it has just over 17,000kms on it now, plans for her are listed below: Full Glanza body kit (already bought a complete one with S bonnet, front bumper with optional lip, side skirts, rear bumper with optional lip, complete rear hatch, front lights, power mirrors)Lower it - just bought some Tein springs which claim 57mm front and 50mm rearDisc rear end - just bought one and will put it in soon as I pick it up and give it a cleanFront strut - bought one and it's in alreadyGlanza steering wheelRear 3 point brace, bought one from Japan, just gotta wait for itWheels ant tyres - just deciding which ones, will be 15 x 6.5 ish with 195/50/15 on them - feel free to suggest options for wheelsRear sway bar - bought one just gotta pick it upPanhard rodTint the windowsGlanza rear tail lightsDifferent seats, either Glanza, Paseo or otherRemove the rear seat and retrim the boot area (I did that with my last one and like the look)Dash clock - had one in the shed so that's inCup holderStereo upgradeChange the dash to either Glanza S or V, I prefer the clean look of the Glanza S dashChange to Glanza door cards4E-FTE engine swap with gearboxRepaint in either original 040 white or a white pearl That's all I can think of now, there will be more, here are the pics, very boring at the moment, very high, and very stock, that will change.http://http://http://http://http:// Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
