Shyam Posted April 23, 2017 Author Posted April 23, 2017 Dropped it off for it's MOT and bumper repair this weekend. Hoping to get it back in a weeks time , can't wait! Quote
mart1 Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 I bet you cannot wait, looking forward to seeing some more pics. Quote
Shyam Posted April 25, 2017 Author Posted April 25, 2017 Thanks Mart, will get some posted when I can. You bet I can't wait haha. Thought it may be worth a shot asking if anyone has a performance exhaust system floating around that they'd like to sell? Also on the market for Decat, Custom Manifold, Coilovers, Anti roll bars (front and rear) ? Thanks guys Quote
mart1 Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Open a thread in the wanted section mate, always plenty of parts to be had on here. Quote
Shyam Posted April 26, 2017 Author Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) yes Martin, I got a post there fella New wheels ...couldn't help myself Edited April 26, 2017 by Shyam Quote
Shyam Posted April 27, 2017 Author Posted April 27, 2017 Thanks Matt, I think they will suit a Black Glanza.... They are 15", 6.5j, Et45...... Enkei RS Split alloys, Lightweight race spec 'apparently' haha, Picked them up yesterday, they look great nevertheless. Quote
Shyam Posted April 27, 2017 Author Posted April 27, 2017 Just had some great news, car passed it's MOT .. Bumpers being repaired and will be ready for collection tomorrow. And didn't have to throw any parts at it. RESULT. Been advised to have suspension dealt with ASAP though. Coilovers are first on the list by the looks of things. Quote
Ryncewind Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 I remember seeing this on the bay and thinking it looked like a good project for someone! Nice to see a thread on it looks like its gone to a good home. Quote
Shyam Posted April 28, 2017 Author Posted April 28, 2017 Hi Ryncewind, thanks for the kind words matey. Yes I will try my best to look after it and restore it to it's former glory . Progress will be slow though .. haha Quote
Shyam Posted May 2, 2017 Author Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) A weekend of wash, wax and polish, removing fungus and mould from the seats and boot. Underneath it all was this beauty of a car. Bolted on the wheels. Actually looks presentable now. Weekend to do list: - Cambelt Kit- Crankshaft Oil Seal- Water pump- Oil change and filter- Transmission fluid flush and change Edited May 2, 2017 by Shyam Quote
mart1 Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Looking good 👍I see you have your hi lo boost back.Your going the right way in looking after it fella 😉 Quote
Shyam Posted May 2, 2017 Author Posted May 2, 2017 haha thanks for the kind words Martin. Found a couple of pipes lying around in the garage, will get some proper hoses eventually. Not planning to do any upgrades to the engine until maintenance work and handling have been addressed. Quote
Ryncewind Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Looking smart! I like that splitter on the front, Do you know what it's from? Quote
Shyam Posted May 2, 2017 Author Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) Ryncewind, thanks mate!.. I don't know where it's from pal, I bought it like that.. I think it might be a Laguna Splitter. Edited May 2, 2017 by Shyam Quote
matt1986 Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Looking good dude! Is that an optional extra gold badge I see on the boot? Quote
Shyam Posted May 2, 2017 Author Posted May 2, 2017 (edited) matt1986, thanks pal! haha I didn't know it was an optional extra but it's definitely gold??? Actually tempted to stencil and spray the 'Glanza' logo on front vent gold. I've also thought about having black with gold outline Glanza written on side decals. Maybe go for a black and gold theme... what you think mate? Edited May 2, 2017 by Shyam Quote
