  1. Any progress on this mate?? :D

    Yes a little progress, been held up a little as I've moved house again and had another little baby girl not long ago so been pretty tied up.

    I did sort out a cold start and rev issue that it had been having. When I changed the loom over from the front cut its an early model 96 Glanza and the engine is from a later model so a few plugs were different. One of the temp sensors wasn't plugged in so I ordered the correct one and plugged it in. Starts straight up now when cold but still breaks down on boost, could be a fuel issue or that is only has the dump pipe.

    Also, removed all the glass and fitted up the Glanza front end. Didn't take any photos though should be able to get some in the next few days. The rear floor is just about all out, I wasn't happy with the one I cut out of the blue car to replace this one so I have another parts car that I'm going to cut it out of and prep it ready to go in and then it's off to be resprayed.

    I found a guy over in New Zealand that would send me some parts, we didn't get Glanzas here but they did so I'm glad I found someone that was willing to go and get some parts from the wreckers and send it all over to me. I got:

    B&C Pillar trims

    Power window regulators, switches, door card arm rests

    Door transfer cabling

    Everything should be plug and play now giving me full power options :) Once I have the car back at my place in the new few weeks Ill get everything sorted and fitted up ready for paint. Hope to have it back on the road at the end of the year.

  2. Updates??

    Its coming along slowly still, mostly been tidying up the engine bay and getting the radiator and all hoses etc connected up. I've got all the front guards, bonnet, bar, lights etc all removed ready for the Glanza bits to go on.

    Also cut out the rear floor that was damaged, just have a little bit more work to do to fit the replacement floor I have.

    The damaged rail on the left has been cut out, just need to get the rail cut out of my parts car ready to put in this one.

    My daughter decided she wanted to help me :thumbsup: she think this one is going to be painted pink lol!

  3. Picked up some Glanza fold in mirrors the other day, much cleaner than the standard ones.

    Just need to get hold of some door transfer cables. I can't find any Glanza ones but have found some EP82 GT ones that I will make work as I also need to wire up for power windows, central locking and speakers.


  4. You're doing a 96 or 98 front?

    98 front with Glanza S bonnet

    Getting ever closer dude!!

    I know, can't wait for it to be done.

    That would be an amazing sleeper :p

    Indeed it will. Nothing over the top and nice and clean. Will be going TD04 and e85 eventually.

  5. Finally got around to putting the dash back in it, just have to strip the rest of the interior and change the rear loom and modify the steering column so that the indicator/wiper stalks fit as the early model units don't fit :(

    Also changed over all the dash lights to white LED, will grab another pic later tonight when it's dark.

    Changed over the speedo and cleaned the cluster up and re-installed.

    Slowly getting there, most of the conversion is complete and it's just body work that has to be done now.


  6. Engine is in and finally running :yahoo: I had some issues with the wiring as the Glanza half cut is a 96 model and mine is a 99. Luckily I have a few complete cars and was able to strip the full harness from one and was then able to plug in the fuel pump and get it going. Also had to find an early model Glanza steering wheel and airbag as mine is electronic airbag and the Glanza one is mechanical apparently, luckily there was one on eBay which I promptly bought :thumbsup:.



    Once I got it going I quickly bled the clutch and gave it a quick run around the property, still have to put the radiator and intercooler piping on and then the dash back in. Looking to get all this done next week and then I can start with the bodywork and spare wheel well replacement.



    Hoping to get it back to my house on the weekend, i'll get some new pics then and throw them up. Getting a little excited now to get it on the road and driving.
