Thanks for everyone's good feedback and comments really appreciate it, actually feels like im getting somewhere with it now.

As for the dash, i got recommended by a lad to give ' Suffolk flocking' a call.

They are the cheapest flocking service i could find they did all the dash and the glove box ect for £110 Suffolk Flocking

The painted bits were done by my bodyshop at work and came out at around £150 with all the paint and materials

More updates to come.

Well im sort of back .. as some of you may have realised havnt posted on here since april! ... but had quite a rough time with work and had back problems which involved physio and rehab ect.. which is still ongoing hence why ive missed most shows and meets ..

nightmare....

Anyway on a lighter note, i havnt really been able to do much in the way of sorting the car out ect.. so its mainly been sat in the garage for months occasionally coming out in the sunshine for a clean .... i have a corsa i use as my daily so hence the glanza has only done around 70 miles in 6 month lol

Update:

Had alot of issues with the gearbox so managed to pick a gearbox up locally

Obvioulsy i was gonna need a uprated clutch with all the new power so i went for the excedy organic clutch kit with realease bearing ect..

While the gearbox was out decided i may aswell get the crank seal replaced as well £40 for abit of rubber! ive bought every gasket ect from toyota ive used for the build absolute fortune but worth it in the end i suppose.

Paid for a specialist to fit the gearbox clutch and seal at the same time only to find out that the gearbox i bought was no better than the original, cheers you fat wanker!

In the end i told the gearbox specialist to order any parts ( gears, cogs ect ) from toyota and ill pay the bill i just wanted it fixed and not to crunch ect..

Paid for the box to be removed and rebuilt for a second time with new bearings ect.. and thankfully now its fine.

Quite hard to get used to the new clutch, if you let it out wrong it judders but get it right and its fine all a learning curve i guess ;)

^^ the car deserved a presant so it got a buddy club oil cap

[dale10ellis10]

Just been looking through the folder of receipts and history i keep for the glanza:

And decided to add up how much ive actually spent on the car EXCLUDING the £4000 i effectivly paid for the actual car in the first place.

....

...

..

.

Over £6400 !!

Wow. Carnt believe ive actually spent over £10,400 of my own money!

Anyway more to come in the near future, still really fancy a cusco roll cage and need the door cards flocking shortly along with a new front bumper and differnt rear lights the list goes on...

Quick clean in the sun then back in the garage ;)..

Also, really need to get the Greddy ecu on and mapped then she what the power output is like..

Just need more money

Cheers

Dale.

Very nice Dale, looks ace. There was a very similar looking Glanza to yours at the MM meet on Saturday, running a Race-tech TD04 kit. Same wheels, similar FMIC cutout etc!
