Ha thanks bud, yeah I though that too, something the owner before me must have "forgot" to mention luckly it's only the crash bar that has a bump in it everything else is 100% straight

so the glanza is coming along slowly need more day light and less rain! my breaks are completely shagged so they came straight off, they wont be going back on as ill be going for a big break setup off some kind in the near future, couple pics of the breaks disks are rotten! i was then left with this, which will be coming apart and cleaned up. then took out my old shocks, they wont be going back on as i will be getting coilovers at some point. this what was left removed the wishbones, completely covered in grease and general road crap. clean them up, will be sanded down and painted with

soooo.. been meaning to get a build thread up for this for a while now, just never got round to it. Bough a Glanza v about year and a half ago, compeletly standard apart from exhaust, boost gauge and crappy old steering wheel.. looked like this when i got her: Driving it home felt alot off wobble in the steering so investigated to find one the studs was loose, and the rest wobbly which basically ate the alloy, then i replaced the studs and got new alloys.. they are Team Dynamic pro 1.2s 15x7 wrapped in yoko's parada spec 2 then the standard mani cracked so got new s/s mani, s/s decat,
