Right then, as some of you will know, I sold my SR to Adam(SR17) off here, and with the money plus some raiding of the piggy bank I bought myself a 1996 Glanza!

Not sure what the colour is exactly, but its a good little project for me - probably a tidy car in most peoples eyes but it has some niggly bodywork issue which I want to sort...wanna make this beauty perfect!! I think its a good base to start from, pretty much standard engine wise except for a nice HKS SSQV which sounds the don!! ;)

Its currently on 82k miles (137500km) and is fitted with some tasty white Advans (can't remember which ones but Riko666 has just said which ones they are as I wasn't sure!), lowered on Tein springs, full exhaust system (don't know what brand!) and a few other nice bits too! Anyway, enough chit-chat...I'll let the pics do the rest ;) They seem to have come out a little blurry for some reason, feck knows why

Cheers bud ;) remember what I was saying about insurance being ridiculously cheap through Admiral? Probably about a month ago or so?

£75.96 to swap it over from the SR to this ;) I officially love Admiral!

ohh my god!! are you serious?! ;)

How much is it costing altogether? I want booooost *jealous* lol

Its £75 for insurance so works out at £1312 TPFT for the year, 18yrs old, Zero NCB, 3 points and a write-off in 2008 totalling £2950. I got the car dirty cheap IMO, it needs work but came with a few spares and such ;)

Looks tidy mate, I guess it was the one we were talking about? He got back to you then lol :p

Must be loving boooooooost :p

Yeah, in the end lol! Was starting to get worried!! Yeah its comedy

Looks nice bud, like the wheels :D

Is that a dint in the passenger rear wing above the bumper?

Yeah there is a fair few dings, scratches and flat spots...just wants a bit of TLC and she'll be a minter!

More pics to follow, just fitted my sub back in and also the trusty Laguna splitter!

Loving the pics! ;)

You're laughing on the insurance mate, still can't believe you got it so cheap! ;)

Not feeling the Laguna lip though seeing as you already have an optional, makes the rear look a bit out of proportion I reckon

Update timeeee

The Advans are off! I've took them off, unbolted the centre caps and everything so hopefully will have them off to the powdercoaters next week for some TLC :thumbsup:

Not telling what colour yet, but theres big plans and these aren't going back on until I've got them just right! Hoping to be able to get hold of some anodized bolts for the six on each centre cap...but being so tiny and obscure I'd put money on it that I won't be able to get any!! Plus some posh wheel nuts and rim tape, these should look the daddy once they're back on the car!

Here's them stacked up against the wall, and yes thats as clean as I could get them! Below that is a close up of the worst wheel, showing how bad they are close up.

So another update will be made once I've got the new wheels on, then its bodywork time! Got a few quotes, speaking to a local guy on Monday who did one of my stepdads old cars, hopefully he'll sort it out for me because I know his works good!

Then the next plan of action is give it a full service! Everything that looks even slightly worn out will be getting replaced :thumbsup: just peace of mind

From there on in...more power!
