  1. Just to make clear peeps, these fit over the standard kph dial face and won't work with different mph dial faces.
  2. actually will consider both climate control and non if people have either, as long as they are real cheap
  3. Hi everyone, After a glanza and a GT (if they are different) heater control panel. I literally just need the face part not the control gubbins and ideally as cheap as possible please Many thanks, Jason
  4. Item For Sale: Stainless Steel Dial kit for Glanza (with the standard kph dial face) Item Condition & Description: Brand New, Stainless Steel Dials for Glanza. I have 3 of these kits available after a recent group buy i run on another forum. There are currently only about 7 of these sets out there at the moment so not loads of them about. They are designed to fit over the standard kph dial face and line up perfectly with the standard dials. They are precision etched from 0.25mm stainless steel and the quality is spot on. They are designed to fit over the needles for ease of fitting (the
  5. There are currently about 4-5 sets in existance hence why those on ebay are so much. They look very similar to stock lit up as the light is still aimed towards the driver. You just get a slight shine off the stainless. They look good though, not over the top but almost like a dealer extra.
  6. Hi Peeps, Im looking at running a GroupBuy for the Glanza V stainless steel dial conversion but need to know if its ok to run a groupbuy on the forum and if so would people be interested??? Also not really sure what section to post this in??? There are currently only a few people that have these and they are not available from anywhere else. If the numbers are good then the price will be around the £50 mark. They come with full fitting instructions and only the fuel needle needs to be removed to fit them. The rest of the needles can stay in place as they fit over the needles while
  7. Mini Update. Just confirmed prices with shotblasting firm and looks like its going ahead. Will be dropping it off for its first shotblast session when im back from my holidays in a few weeks then i can finish the final welding and then its powdercoat time! Really can't wait to get rid of the shite red colour once and for all!!!! Jason
  8. Thanks Guys Shaun, hopefully going back together will be straight forward but im sure i will forget something or need to change something. Most of the parts can be powdercoated and i can dremel off the excess but some parts will need masking up to keep the powdercoat out. Work will stop on this for 2 weeks while im on holiday but will be pushing ahead with it when im back in the uk. Jason
  9. Ha. Thanks Hou. Slow progress but progress none the less. Heart is going good, as in im still alive so i guess it must be working. Turned out to be a titanium vlave and not a carbon one in the end. Jason
  10. So Monday and tuesday i spent the day stripping down the rest of the frame and getting the engine removed. Didn't take too long as most of the work was already done. I got the brackets welded for the frame for the oil cooler also, plan is to leave this off for the moment and add it at a later date with a side duct that brings in air to it. Its sort of behind the driver at the rear (right near the oil filter) but will be boxed in when finally added. Continued to strip everything off the chassis and now i am just left with the frame itself. I still have some welding and cleaning up to d
  11. If stevie wonder had a glanza.............
  12. Still working at this a little in the background. Been making a few brackets for mounting oil cooler, nosecone etc. Im planning on being at the workshop tomorrow and most of Tuesday to get most of the welding done on the frame and hopefully get the engine out. With any luck the frame should be almost ready for powdercoating soon. After next week im taking a well earned break and flying off to warmer shores for 2 weeks but hopefully crack on with it when i return and it shouldn't be too long before the frame is finally all one colour and then i can start the final build!!!!!! Will hope
  13. Great project this. Keep up the good work buddy, watching this and waiting for the swap to take place. With regards to the clutch cable setup you should be able to use the starlet slave cylinder then something like a land rover master cylinder and a custom made clutch line. Thats what i have used on my project. Works a treat.
  14. Haha. Amazing. Everyone says thats how im going to go but no fireball yet.
  15. Ha. Thanks. Its been going so long now that people may have forgotten all about it.
  16. Thanks Dude. Could never stop loving this project. Too many people start epic projects and sell them off halfway. Never going to sell this. May take me longer to build but as long as i slowly chip awat at it i will get there in the end. Jason.
  17. Flippin heck i haven't updated this in over a year!!!! I have had to put this on hold for a while as building my own house takes up all my spare time, in between working full time and all my other projects i am working through on the side. I also had a bit of a accident while working on the house and fell 9ft onto my head and shoulder which resulted in my fracturing my spine and being signed off work for 4 weeks. Lucky i didn't kill or paralyse myself but im almost back to health, apart from a bit of pain in my left arm and neck. Just need to take it easy for a few months. Anyway.....
  18. Still sorting a few things in the background with this. Once house is watertight i can get that a bit further along and then look at building the double garage/workshop. Thats when the fun begins. At the end of the day this aint getting sold, may take me a few more years but i think you all know epic times are a coming!!!!! @zeldoz, it was in the workshop under a cover so you may not have seen it. Paul is a great guy, work with him quite a bit. He has been helping build this also. Me and him are planning a epic europe trip in this when its built Ha.
  19. Been a while now without an update and im sorry to say the updates will be few and far between. I have had to move the project out of the workshop, currently under a tarp on my drive rusting away :-( sad days. But dont worry guys and gals... THIS PROJECT WILL GO ON. I am currently building my own house and its taking up all my time. The plan is to build a double garage/workshop so i can finish the car but the house comes first. I need somewhere to live! Yes, i work at Intech, and up until a few months ago thats where it was! Some parts are still there but not the demon itself! Any motivation
  20. Well it’s been a few weeks without an update so I think its about that time. As usual work has been mental, it never seems to ease up to be honest but its just getting more and more crazy. Anyway since running the buggy a few weeks back a few problems where clear. Have a oil leak which I believe is the oil pump, not a huge problem as when I take the engine out later I will sort it out then. Can be seen here…. One of the copper coolant lines also needs re soldering as there is a small leak on one of the joins and I still have to get to the bottom of why the rear brakes won’t bleed. I just need
  21. Thanks Guys, Socks, i think i owe a few people passenger rides lol Might be the CV, problem is they are brand new outer CV joins and new wheel bearings so im thinking it probably won't be. I really hope its not a case of one of the driveshafts being a problem as i had them custom made and don't want to have to have them redone again.
  22. Thanks guys for the posative feedback. Still a long way to go though but its slowly getting there. Got the FCD fitted today and next job is to start looking at the brakes not bleeding correctly. My mate wants to come and see it on Saturday if he gets time so i may take it for a cheeky spin then, if i have a few problems sorted i might give it a bit more of a thrash!!!!!
