  1. Collected some rear seats and a parcel shelf this evening, really helpful guy. Sent pics of the items when asked and waited about for me after I got stuck on the M25 . Would happily buy from him again.
  2. I've currently got the headlining out so I can re-trim it and I can't picture how it should be secured at the back of the car (it wasn't secured properly before I took it out). Should it be held in with clips or is there a trim piece that holds it in? It looks like there's a metal lip there that a trim piece slips over maybe? Any pics would be great!
  3. Bought some wind deflectors from Jay, arrived quickly and in great condition!
  4. A little more progress made today. Decided I'd take the front bumper off to fix the broken tab in the passenger arch and while I was at it, thought it would be an ideal time to remove the AC condenser etc. Removing the AC gubbins was surprisingly easy, so managed to get it done fairly quickly, although I haven't yet removed the pump as I'm waiting for a shorter belt and a few other bits and bobs from ID-Workz. Bumper off and condenser removed: Realised now was an ideal time to relocate the Hella horns. They used to be crammed in behind the top grille, which I wasn't very happ

    You have PM :).
  6. Brilliant thread, very interesting stuff and it's given me a bit of a kick up the arse to get mine sorted out!
  7. So, a little more progress made this week. This project has been a slow burner, mainly because it's a second car and I don't need to rush to get anything done, but also because it was parked in a pretty awkward place before I moved it to the driveway this week. Anyway, I managed to get hold of a genuine Glanza steering wheel and airbag which was in fantastic condition, for a not too shabby £50. After it arrived I realised I'd cocked up and bought one for a car with no passenger airbag, but managed to swap the necessary bits over from the old wheel and it fits perfectly . (Pict
  8. Welcome along mate, nice looking car . I'm from the area too but my Glanza is off the road at the moment being lightly restored. If you happen to see someone in a red FN2 Civic flash you, don't panic it's only me .
  9. Lovely car! Obviously a lot of time and hard work has gone into it

    Got everything now
  11. Yeah I could've kicked myself when I realised it was gone . I still have the bottom bracket, just not the armrest itself. I see one has come up on FB, but the guy wants £150 for it....
  12. Not much to report this week. I spent a little time today putting the interior back in the car, I'm pleased that it's come up fairly clean again. The passenger seat isn't in yet, for two reasons: 1. I left it out for easier access in and out of the rear of the car. 2. It had gone slightly mouldy in the garage. I must've left it a little damp when I put it in there. No big deal though, I'll give it another clean and thorough drying in the week. I only noticed today that the rear seats don't match the fronts but apparently they've always been like that as my sister couldn'
  13. This brings back some memories! My first S chassis was s14a touring in Damson. Bloody loved that car. I converted it from auto to manual on my driveway, which was interesting . Then I had a red Sileighty, a grey S13 and most recently a white PS13. There's just something about the S chassis that keeps me interested.
  14. Thanks for the comments guys :). If this had been any other car I doubt I'd be quite so enthusiastic about bringing back but I remember how good it used to be which has spurred me on. The body is generally pretty good. The rear bumper needs repainting as do the skirts, the front bumper has snapped in the passenger wheel arch (looking at it quickly, I think I can probably fix it myself), the bonnet has a slight dent right at the very front where the grille is and the drivers door now has a nasty scratch courtesy of a large piece of angle iron which I stupidly left stood near the car....
  15. So, thought I'd document the progress with the Glanza. First up, a little history on the car. The car used to belong to my sister, she bought the car from a private seller on Hayling Island, but surprisingly there was no rust anywhere on it. Aside from a few scuffs and dings, it was a nice, honest car which ran and drove well. Over the course of a couple of years she spent quite a bit of money keeping the car maintained and adding her own little touches to it to make it her own. It was originally a bluey/silver colour but she had it sprayed in VW Natural Grey and had the whee
  16. Hi all, Thought it was finally time to introduce myself. I've been a forum member on here for a while and mostly just lurk, reading the odd thread now and then. That's until now! I recently acquired a P reg EP91 Glanza V which needed a little TLC. I got it for the princely sum of £500, which I was quite happy about . I have a few plans for the car, which I'll document in a project thread somewhere, however in the meantime here's a quick pic of it parked up with my daily driver Civic...
  17. I bought a Blitz Nur Spec R exhaust from blitz, and I can honestly say he is a top bloke! We had a slight problem (no fault of his I must add) but he kept me updated at every opportunity, and we finally got it sorted Thanks again mate
