kidV

boom!

done that a few times...

easy fix dude.

haha yeh i nicked them off bears facebook

i took them the other evening i do believe... with his cam

Get a thread up for the GT then

I take it its the one off quadcorecraig that Socks/KidV used the engine from?

this was craigs yuss.

KidV got millions of pics they should be up tomorrow i would have thought

thanks for all attending was a brill little meet. thanks to Mike and the MM team for having us too

indeedy. apologies to all for not posting pics of the day sooner, been super busy with the project though. as many of you will know myself and matt went pretty much straight to davids after the event to pick up his glanza and was working on it straight through the night and all sunday...

hopefully tonight should be a mass picture update for the MM RRday and the 'sportiV' threads respectively.

was another good meet up, cheers to all that ventured out, 'see yall next yeeeaaarrr!'

love, love, love, love, love it.. aaand you know it!

cannot fault the direction at all. nice, subtle n jdm ftw.

first few shots look familiar though... ha

i know a few who would be up for a meet, myself, socks, steveGT and a couple more... and if you want photos too ill bring the SLR.

best way to deal with that situation mate is to cut them both out and spend time with proper mates doing stuff that YOU want to do and makes YOU happy!

you wont regret it, trust me.

im in a similar situation so trust me.

worst possible thing you can do is dwell on things. get out n have fun. life is what you make of it!!

chin up.

personally i think both black and white are massively overdone!

use your noggin and try something different.

as said gold or bronze look immense, baby blue sets it off nice too...

at the end of the day it's your personal preference and photoshop is your friend.

i hate you. thats two things youve stolen from my watch list!exhaust and fmic!! lol. honestly great work guys cant wait to see this done. My conversion is taking a lot longer tha yours wish my friends actually knew what they were doing when it comes to cars.

Hope everything goes well! one question what are you doing about the mounting point on the steering column as the glanza stalks use different mounting points. thats if your using glanza wiring looms?

can you take as many pics as you can when installing it just to help others like myself doing the conversion

thankyou please!

cheers

sam

there will be plenty of pics dude, don't worry.

got loads that havent been uploaded, just for reference etc.

RIIIIIIGHT, update time... again!

steveGT had this little box lying around...

took it off his hands and as it turns out this little fella, a GIZMO MS-IBC boost controller, was living inside so he's going to a new, red home...

cheers dude!

SECONDLY...

was feeling the toys so got these new clips...

turns out the came with free hoses and 6m of vacuum hosing from paul at roose motorsport, big up the bargain!

plenty more in the pipeline as im sure by now, you are all well aware...

big, shiney, amazing, proper bo updates before too long, fingers crossed...

stay tuned for more kiddies...

kidV. xo

Got a little update today, finished my shifts at work so a bit more has been done...

got a couple of packages in the post today, big thanks to shorty! xo

first got to work on the dash rewiring with the glanza loom...

then did the interor loom and the engine bay...

aaaaand started to put the interior back in...

a steady half day!

had a bit of a downer finding out that the steering column is from a GT though and has different mounting points to the GLANZA.

not to worry, first hiccup really and easily sorted...

on a better note though there was another box waiting when getting back tonight but picture's of that can wait until tomorrow...

watch this space...

kidV.

Thanks for the words guys!

Still got the non PAS goodies by the way...

Can't wait to get cracked on with some more now though,

loving the little wannabe more n more. Yes!

Decent sized updates before too long hopefully.

Watch this space and roll on Wednesday!!...

kidV.

Sounds a bit wrong that Steven..

Looking forward to it dude!

no interior.... sex.... wee I'd love to strip the GT bare and go mental but....... Not conveniant as a daily car ;) Really looking forward to seeing this come along nice buy

I'd love to keep it that bare inside, just a seat, steering wheel and a family of gauges mounted to the brace bar, would be sweeeeeet as!

But like you say, just not conventional in the real world. ;)

You'll have to arrange with mr bear to come down sometime n see it in person, wouldn't mind seeing the GT I hear so much about n of course, meet your good self too.

RIGHTY!!

Wow this was out of the blue.respect for getting a starlet mate didn't realise you were after one lol

wanted one for a loooong time dude, nice to be a part of the fold! ;)

this is simply awesome! solid underneath for a 14 year old car

cant complain for the money and she will be chattering in no time!

keep this up!

solid as a rock!

do it like a red 98spec. would look awesome mate!

;)

Looks a good shell matey and for that money!!!!

Good progress soo far, ill be looking forward to more in the future

shell really is awesome, everything off colour is just dirt. no rust or rot!

Haha, nice start dude. Spoke to the big hairy one tonight will get the bits shipped monday 24hr for you. you know where i am if you need more bits. Rear axle and discs ect is still on the back end too if you wanna ditch the drums.

cheers man. great help, hope it's as much fun re-fitting the loom.. ha

as for other bits, the bear maybe in touch again soon..

love seeing old pink(red) cars being brought back to life! and for 150quid it is an amazing bargain! keep up the good work!

tis coming up nice, few more go overs and itl be mmmmminty fresh!

Put me down, I'll be there again steve-o!

Was good last year so this should be even better looking at the attending!

Best stock up on the biscuits again... ha

Needs a wash...

<3

It's not perfect and was slightly pink but for it's age and price, cannot complain at all!

Paintworks coming up beautifully thanks to socks' detailing.

Was a super bargain tbf.

Plan was originally to be sleeper styled but a few bits needed decisions making so pretty set on it being 'Glanza'd' now... Always had a massive soft spot for red glanza's so it'd be rude not too pursue my dream now I have the opportunity!

well, been here a while now, mostly looking around with the odd comment here and there.

now finally i have a starlet... thanks mainly to socks!!

picked up a little sportif in red, 93k and standard as you like... for £150.

after getting it back we set about abusing it with the trusty spanners and sockets.

as you can probably tell it won't be staying as it is due too the work we've already done.

so, here's a few pictures so far. updates will hopefully be pretty regular too so here goes...

four on arrival...

Dismantle...

seats be gone..

De-wiring.

GET OUT YOU N/A SCUM!!!

Spot of detailing by mr socks on the faded paintwork...

half n half..

my fave so far...

SHIT, it's pedo-puss!

So, for now there we have it.

now just waiting on parts to come up, funds to grow and shorty to get his ass into gear and remove his turbo loom.. ;)

i'll keep you all posted.

Oh, and one last thing, steve, keep it hush around G town..

It's a need to know basis and tbh, non of them lot need to know! ;)

TA!

kidV

Piiiiiissssssss, looks the shiznay!
