  3. Cheers mate not so much patience but trying to do right the first time instead of the funking about I did with it before if that makes sense !? Got a few drinks in me!! Haha
  4. Got some bits bolted on today but need to get the bolts refurbished as I found a place that does electro plating very close to me which is a bonus, so only finger tight!! Looks good though Here's a few pics

  12. Got the shell on it side to strip the under side for stone chip and paint, both captive nuts had spun in the lower arm mounts so had to cut a hole to weld on some new ones.

Haha Here's a few pics: It will get painted tomorrow, will get more pics looks mental just sitting in its side on a mattress!
  13. I have owned a glanza for just over a 2years now, Was about to start a build thread when a few weeks ago my car was crashed into and is beyond repair! So I've decided not to break it but use it as donor car. It has had almost every thing already done to it so won't need to be at arsing about trying to get parts which will save time! Haha. Here are a few photos of my car and the shell I picked yesterday from tuning developments and stripped today. When I first got her: And before the crash: The crash:( And the shell:
