  1. nice one, wish I could do that but it will be hard as I'm in France... where did you ge that half cut?

    I picked it up from a local importer

    I think because of the Australian import laws where they cant import a car that's been sold in their country, they can only get halfcuts, mostly from japan i think. Ive seen it a couple times with different cars

    Our import laws are changing now apparently but I don't think we can import a Glanza at the moment.

  2. Could you take note of the wiring you're changing? I'm planning to do this in the future, would be awesome mate

    I bought a Glanza half cut so I can swap out the dash wiring harness. I was going to wire it up and found a some diagrams for the pin out locations for the different ECU's.

    Hope these are of some help?

    This is the half cut I got, plan is to sell all the bits off I don't need and make the money back on it.

  3. Engine and box are now out, sold off a few parts as well which has half paid for the car :)

    I have actually got the turbo conversion almost completed, I just haven't taken any fresh pics as it's been too dark. I found out the turbo manifold has a huge crack so I'm currently chasing a replacement. Once I get another it's a matter of installing the manifold, turbo, radiator, intercooler piping and then the task of wiring it up to work.

  4. Hey Guys,

    Thought I'd share my new starlet with you lot, picked it up last week as a wreck and was just going to use it for parts for my other build. http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/95629-aussie-turbo-starlet-life-glanza-build/

    I've decided that I will fix this one after I successfully pulled the damage out in the rear with a chain and a tree! It came out pretty easy really. All it needs now is a new rear floor which won't be a problem as I have a few spare Starlet laying around and the damage fixed on the quarter panel.

    This one only has 51000 kilometres on the clock and I should be able to make my money back on it from the sale of the engine and gearbox. :)

    I purchased the white one in the pic for only $100 from the salvage auctions as well, going to use the power steering out of it and probably scrap the rest as its bent the front rails.

    The damage!

    Here's the damage after I pulled the panel out, the rear bar was rubbing on the tyre before.

    A little love from the hammer got the floor a little better, will still need replacing.

    Decided would I pull the floor from the other project Starlet, got half the spot welds out, another hour or so should have the floor out.

    I fitted my Glanza tailgate and wheels, came up pretty good. Going to start the turbo engine and manual conversion over the next week or so

  5. It's almost ready for paint now, go tthe spray painter coming to have a look at it tomorrow so he can let me know what else I need to do to it before he gets it. Just need to weld up the antenna hole and pull a few more bits off it.



    Chosen a new colour for it as well, pretty bright and out there so hopefully it should look good.
