Absolutely gutted for you

Always kept track of this build and was honestly one of my favourites 

More progress the pictures didn't download on the update for some reason one final sand before paint on that side 

Currently on with passenger side 

Also picked up a new windscreen so have some nice new glass to go in 

More updates to follow 

Great photos 

Cars looking lovely 

More body shop updates just about ready for paint 

Brilliant that

This is a class build the welding is mint love those trd bits you have 

Thank you some great lads on here that really helped out 

As for the build long way to go yet it's getting there will be worth it in the end 

I'm hoping so once weldings done Il probably send it to the garage next door to replace the discs pads AC condenser and control arms and bushes and any other things that could be mot related before it's has the respray and underseal so they don't get marked or disturbed

Just needs a serious reboot. Needs some mods and admin back online and a big push on fb and insta to push people back to the forum!

I always read them mate 

Mines same nobody replies

But on facebook it's active and tbh I really don't know why same questions no build threads it's a proper flawed platform if people just made one comment a day this place would be on top form again 

jase what you have done with this was great i enjoyed your build thread from start to finish and il be following your other over on retro rides aswell 

loved seeing the car midway through your build just a shame i never got over to see it completed 

Agree I still post etc and check daily

The Facebook format is shocking for car builds etc and if there's any issues it's always a link to this site people need to start using this site again 

Brilliant 👏👏

Gutted really enjoyed this thread was it the sills that finished it off ? 

Great news on another glanza though be sure to start a new build thread

Thanks for all the kind words gents 

These cars are getting old now so want to be able to share my findings where potential problems with rust are 

This has been repaired with a rust free one off a donor thanks to trevstar

BIG THANKS for this mate

So the inner arch is gone as seen in earlier posts
