funny onion

Thanks a lot dude, it really is stunning in the flesh. Was just a reasonably cheap candy base from ebay. Tempted to try some of their other colours and maybe do some wheels 😊

I had the week off this week and safe to say I cracked on with this a lot I took the ball joints, track rods, discs and callipers etc off to get the hubs off and she had greenstuff pads which put a smile on my face. They're dead, pretty much metal on metal but i like to know that someone had fun in it. got the bootlid off and sprayed up. Bonded the spoilers on and fitted the glow panel. I soldered in some led's as there was no bulb holders present with the panel. they work pretty well and will give the same effect i hope. took the opportunity to smooth the lock, wiper and washer

I'll have a look in my mk2 tomorrow and see if I can take some pics of it fitted.

Awesome I love the pigs haha. Just had a patrol Saxon sprayed up and refurbed as a gate guard looks awesome!

I already have the extra security clearance, I've worked with the bowman stuff before- just taking it out of the vehicles for it to be barcoded. I also deal with DII restricted computer kit so I'm cleared for that. There were two foxhounds parked up arranged the same as the mastiffs in these pics but outside one of the hangers. I was so tempted but glad I didnt- a major general was visiting to say farewell to RAF 202 sqn E-flight so it wouldn't have been ideal to be having a wee photo shoot as he tips up haha

Here's a few more pics of the story so far.... bagged some nice parts for her- some MK1 rear lights to go with the glow panel, a HKS Hi power silent exhaust, an oem 3 point rear strut etc a photo of the part shelf for the rebuild Found a few more goodies on here when i stripped the hubs/struts off- greenstuff pads (nearly dead) and good condition Cobra gas shocks/springs Did pretty well stripping the hubs. Discs didn't want to come off but got there in the end! Few more bits painted... this wing had horrible splits in the pa

Won't be socks dude his glanza is still at racetech!

April fools...

Seen this car in person and it's a stunning example! Shame you're selling her but if you've got the legacy then fair enough. Sell it for what you want to sell it for, it's a very clean example and a lot of people will appreciate that. Don't listen to what other people think it's worth. I paid £1200 for my GT Advance but that certainly doesn't mean i'll sell it for that because it's worth much more than that to me!

Thanks to everyone who turned up, shame about the weather! Still good to see some faces and have a chat in the pub! Awesome pics matt, i didn't get chance to take any Me and Sam went to halfords after leaving pub and we saw a Silver Glanza on the roundabout for St Andrews Quay haha don't think he's on here thoguh be seen it a few times

Quick bump for tomorrow- don't forget the clocks change! My number is 07814102790 incase anyone can't find it

search on here dude. i'll try and get a link to the other thread

Yeah it's not always enjoyable tbh i work with a woman that's so stupid she defies the laws of humanity, but yeah it's always something different!

I have at least 10 turbos on a shelf at my unit, i will have a look!

This topic has been done to death. have a seach in the search bar, there's a topic on the go right now about it. Basically yes it's doable without opening the engine up at all. But if you have a quick search you'll find loads of useful information

Haha i'll make it my mission to get a photo of it next to all the vehicle variants we have here. I've just been offered a sort of promotion- in a few weeks i'll be working with the bowman kit so i'll be spending a lot more time with the vehicles yay. All our UOR kit is going off to different units around the country though (until shit goes down and we become a UOR unit again) so there will only be a handful of sandy vehicles and we will only be left with green fleet.

Any cars are welcome (within reason- no bad boy saxos haha) I'm going to send out some texts/facebook maessges tonight to lads who aren't on here or aren't regular users. Hopefully the weather will be good enough for ice creams!

Boot looks awesome, when i attempt tp smooth bits it looks great but then when i drive it the filler sinks lol The wheel nuts probably don't fit becuse the bolt holes on the wheels are small. I had this on my work wheels. Try some steel tuner nuts or something? the standard wheel nuts are chunky

and it begins.... lol

Looking good Nath, you going to come to the meet on sunday?

Where is that located on the car?

I had an armrest in my GT between evo 4 recaros and it was fine, but i'm not sure in a glanza.

Glanza/GT/4efe rod bearings are all the same. The cranks are the same in all variations of the 4e engine.

Thanks for the advice and help guys much appreciated as always! Sorted for a pair now, managed to get a pair in very good condition with bulb holders and loom. Happy happy happy

Bought some MK1 GT rear lights, excellent communication and very fast delivery. They turned up very well packaged and in great condition. buy with confidence
