    What? That's looking really smart. I thought you said it was a scrapper?

    sorry bud, forgot to mention the 2nd pic is after i got it a full respray! was too busy trying to figure out how to upload pictures:sad:  the first one of the bonnet is before hand, aswell as loads of small dents etc, 2nd one is the bodywork all sorted now! I should get round to putting a couple more things on here now i have it sussed! cheers

  2. anyone know where i can get new window seals? the weather strips that run along the doors from the b pillar and wing mirror if you like? i think the body shop has butchered mine lol 

  3. So, it is now underway!  this is the bodywork as i received the car, horrible lacquer peel, scuff and stone chips! 

    had pin dents all down the side and one of the rear arches had started to come through:sad: easy enough to say when it looks like this and the bottom end goes, then it is far easier and more cost efficient just to scrap it.

     I had a look underneath and it is really clean as well as the interior which gave me some hope! so i have decided to rescue it and make it how i want it for years to come:D I took a couple of pictures before it got sent off to the body shop, attached below!

  4. So... had a 96 Spec Silver Glanza in my hands for over a year or so now, picked it up cheap enough as a 'project' which needed its body work seriously sorted. After a couple of months the bottom end went, and i was determined to give it a fresh overhaul rather then stick another ragged engine into it. Invested in a complete gasket set, bearings, belts, pumps and got the crank reground and fitted back together over a lengthy period of time (didn't go forged as i didn't have the full funds to throw at it at the time). 400 miles,  in and a few quid down the bottom end developed a very slight knock, so I took it back off the road and decided this time no corners will be cut + i don't want to see another going to the scrap) The process is already under way to get it ready for summer! pics to follow.. 

    I will post the spec of it when i get a minute. 

  5. So, car is getting a well needed shut door respray next week and it is currently 1ao silver, i am looking to keep the original silver paint but maybe add a twist like a flake or something? Any recomendations or ideas? Currently on dark rotas with blue locking nuts and blue accents in the engime bay! I shall start a blog soon to show the transformation it will be taking shortly! Any ideas are appreciated!

    Cheers,
