New member and owner, killed my Glanza :(


Recommended Posts

Purchased my first glanza on friday after wanting one for years, was absolutely perfect when i picked it up but unfortunately it had been sat for 4 months so the oil had gone a bit thick, and that paired up with a dented sump (neither I or the previous owner knew about) that was tight up against the oil pickup, and starved the motor of oil and done the big end 6 hours after owning it :cray:



stripped the whole motor down to check over everything, got a crank on the way so hopefully have it back up and running next week all going to plan :) here's a few pictures of her

you may as well forge it while your at it perfect time to do so, also get your engine bay degreased, cleaned and painted. also polish up your gearbox or de-grease it and paint it with a silver metalic paint to smarten it up. Good luck with everything! get the bay looking nice though you will regret later on if you dont do it now!
