Great progress mate. Only owned mine 10 months and it’s never been On the road so I can imagine the feeling after two years. I’ve got some willwood four pots that I’m considering selling it you’re interested. They have the correct mounting brackets and have braided lines plus the two piece disks 

Cheers buddy, at points it feels like I don’t even own the car. 
 

yes I’d be interested in the wilwoods mate fire me a pm over and some pics.

No messing around. Shell is looking bang tidy now!

Roll on the boost, I look forward to seeing it at a cruise this year dude!

Cheers matey, I can’t wait to get it back out cruising and going to meets. it’s been so long and I’m starting to miss it more than ever now.  Good to see the 2zz glanza being revived also, looking forward to seeing what’s in store for it soon!

So doing rear wheel bearings in preparation for new rear brakes and came across the absolute monstrosity 😡🙄 fair to say rear axle off in the bin

Don’t know how one could be so lazy and in turn ruin the axle. So if anyone has one please hit me up!

in better news tyres turned up for the advans!

decided on NS-2R seeing as they don’t make proper AD08R anymore, I would’ve liked r888r or ar-1 but I don’t think I’ll be on track enough to warrant these. So for about £250 odd I cannot complain 👍🏼.

Been tinkering steady away, wire wheeling a few spots underneath and treating what I’ve missed then a quick brush of hammerite white.

Fuel tank plumbed up and back on.

Got my rear axle back on and fitted.

IDworkz rear brake setup fitted.

Whiteline Panhard rod fitted.

IDworkz full poly bush kit fitted.

HEL braided brake lines front and rear.

Fitted a battery up just to crank the motor over to check for oil pressure.

Now the car has gone away for rad and exhaust. Felt strange seeing her on the road. Looks the business now 🤘🏼

That is coming along now mate, what size of exhaust are you getting made?

3” from turbo back mate. I already have a custom made downpipe and back box just need a mid section to button it up.

Rad has arrived, welded up, was made it 30mm taller than what it needs to be so grill needs trimming and I’m probs gonna burn my fingers off trying to open bonnet 🤣🙄 but we move on.

Can’t see her overheating anytime soon 😎
