okay so ive enjoyed helping dean doing his conversion sooo much ive decided to do it myself, well amongst other reasons.

K well dean sparked the idea, Basically my girlfriend is haveing my ep82 and i fancyed a really clean Glanza, but as u all know, a really clean Glanza is £3500 and upwards, so i tort why not purchace an N/A and convert it, nice paint job inside and out, which as it happens i do everyday and a freshly built engine of bourky BARGIN glanza. :D

k its red 3 owners from new HPI clear cracked rear o/s lamp and a rusty n/s door apart from the paint works real tidy and an overall solid car ref: bourky, markoos and dean who were all handily there wen i viewd the car, cheers lads. :p

PLANS

Glanza body kit, original i know but i like :p

Engine of bourky, order in a couple of weeks

respray, hopfully get away with just the inside, engine bay and nearside door as i rekon the rest will polish up nicely.

Transfer everything from my ep82 over bar the exhaust, filter and turbo timer as the missis wonts them :D lol

alloys of some discription???? ideas....??? <_<

tein coilovers all round

FOR NOW!! lol

ok deposit goin dwn 2mz and pictures off Autotrader sorry 4 the quality

Looks good but get some Black rims with red lip Time Attack Stylee!! :D

Be good to see what you come up with, Glanza's are quite rare in red <_<

How long will the engine take then to be built and delivered etc?

Picture006.jpg

Six dents on the o/s 5 small ones on the door and a fist sized one on the quater :rolleyes: But there all done now just need to flat the primer. " 6 dents" not bad for an old car :D

Picture021.jpg

starting to get messy inside now!!! few months time we should see some buckets in there

Picture005.jpg

not that u can tell from the picture but in the past some PRIK has done a dodgy blend, its had a new (but old) door wich would explain the reason for a blend but the colours a mile off and theres an edge along the top and bottom of the the quater and wing, wich I&#39;ve had 2 rectify. WANKERS%^*&
