Keviano27 Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Here we go then, been meaning to do this for ages but never had time to! Read so many on the forum so time to show my progress! When I bought the car for pocket change it was a solid project. Hardly no rust, a longish MOT but lots of miles on the clock, but I was very happy. Shame the interior was disgusting. First thing I done was obvs clean it and set to fixing the speakers which someone broke and replaced with awful eBay ones. Then set to fixing any problems I could find. And I found a few! The whole rear brakes and wheel bearings were gone so replaced them. Also done the front ball joints cause they had it too. Once the summer come along I wanted to sort the rather faded paint work. Being red it wasn’t the best. Must say it improved the car 1000% and also had the side mouldings taken off at the same time. After that I got the windows tinted and wind deflectors put on and I was well chuffed. But I was after a better looking front and rear, so managed to find a lovely glanza bumper with rear lip. After a lick of paint and a mornings work it looked the nuts The front bumper was a steal and it was the same colour so win win! After that I finally managed to get rid of the horrible granny interior and get a set of glanza front seats and I think that’s it! I’m sure I’ll add more at a later date when I remember! Just glad to share my pride and joy with you all Quote
Pinkygti Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Looks really clean, lovely base to start from and make it unique, always had a soft spot for a red one too Quote
Keviano27 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Posted January 19, 2019 Thanks everyone! I’m just off to pick up something I’ve been after for ages! Watch this space Quote
Keviano27 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Posted January 19, 2019 I’ve finally managed to get myself a set of these bad boys! Picked them up, dropped them at a mate, and should be picking them up soon after they are refurbed! The colours nothing special but it’s gonna set the car off big time I reckon Quote
Pinkygti Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Happy days can’t beat a set of speedlines, complete with center caps too, they are the rare bit Quote
Keviano27 Posted February 13, 2019 Author Posted February 13, 2019 Not much progress as much. Wheels have been painted and should be on the next few weeks Managed to get the cap stickers too they look unreal can’t wait to get them on! Apart from that the passenger main beam ain’t working even after a change of bulb and check of fuses so that needs sorting. Any help would be appreciated. Also going to JDM Castle Combe so looking forward to that and meeting loads of new people and starlets Quote
Keviano27 Posted February 16, 2019 Author Posted February 16, 2019 Got the wheels on this morning, they look mint. Need the car lowered really but it's fine atm. Bad earth apparently is the reason behind the main beam so I'll sort that soon. Quote
Keviano27 Posted March 7, 2019 Author Posted March 7, 2019 Not much in the way of progress. Been buying bits and pieces and managed to get hold of a boot and spoiler but sadly it got badly damaged in transit The guy I bought it off was so sound, proper genuine bloke so fairplay to him anyway. I'll see what I can salvage and go from there. Quote
lukEp Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I've got a red tailgate with no spoiler you can have for cheap but collected only as it'll get damaged in transit Quote

Keviano27 Posted March 21, 2019 Author Posted March 21, 2019 Dropped the car off at the welders to get a hole sorted and something extra Watch this space Quote
Keviano27 Posted March 24, 2019 Author Posted March 24, 2019 Got the hole welded and something else fitted for abit extra Nice little back box that sounds sweet as! Only a week til Castle combe cant wait! Quote
Keviano27 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 Castle Combe was nearly a week ago but it's was great fun. Saw loads of mint cars and a few ideas for mine Got my square plates and stickers on in time too so I was happy how it looked. Booked my japfest ticket last night too so got a few things to do before then! Quote
Keviano27 Posted April 19, 2019 Author Posted April 19, 2019 Been helping my mate mostly today with his starlet but managed to sort a few things on mine! Glanza rear seats to match the fronts so a full interior now happy days And a number plate surround. I've been after one for ages but the thought of wiring it up seemed too much hassle. After looking on here I found a bloke who had his smoothed and thought I'd do the same. Looks the dogs I think! Had my spoiler painted at the same time but didn't get enough time to fit it but hopefully it'll be on for japfest Quote
Keviano27 Posted May 14, 2019 Author Posted May 14, 2019 Japfest was over week ago and it was great fun, saw so many nice starlets aswell Car has the MOT this week so just getting a few things sorted to make sure it passes. Sorted the main beam. Was a corroded socket at fault so a new one wired in and bobs your uncle. Washer jets needed clearing we should be all gravy Got a few more things to do when it passes before Castle combe so watch this space! Quote
Keviano27 Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) We live to fight another day! Passed the MOT with a few advisorys but nothing that I can't fix. Happy days! Edited May 16, 2019 by Keviano27 Quote
Keviano27 Posted May 18, 2019 Author Posted May 18, 2019 Something abit different I got done to the car today Got the roof wrapped black because my roof was going pink again and it was past saving. I think it looks the business Quote
Keviano27 Posted May 28, 2019 Author Posted May 28, 2019 Finally fitted my glanza spoiler, been sat for ages I had a free weekend so thought I'd put it on in time for castle combe Makes a big difference and was easy to put on. The exterior is basically finished now I think. I might dewiper it but that's it really. I've a few things other things I want doing but they aint major atm, I'll enjoy the car for now and see how it goes Quote
Keviano27 Posted July 7, 2019 Author Posted July 7, 2019 Done Abit to the car yesterday that's been on the list for a while TDR Gearknob and new gear gator and the steering wheel, all done within a hour and we're easy to fit. Excuse the mess I ain't cleaned the inside for a while 😂 Got a few more things left but I'll see if I get chance sometime to fit them. Quote
Adshim Posted July 15, 2019 Posted July 15, 2019 Loving the car so far! I was wondering what exhaust that is? Quote
