i hate you. thats two things youve stolen from my watch list!exhaust and fmic!! lol. honestly great work guys cant wait to see this done. My conversion is taking a lot longer tha yours wish my friends actually knew what they were doing when it comes to cars.

Hope everything goes well! one question what are you doing about the mounting point on the steering column as the glanza stalks use different mounting points. thats if your using glanza wiring looms?

can you take as many pics as you can when installing it just to help others like myself doing the conversion :D

thankyou please!

cheers

sam

Okay... Now for the next LARGE update...

After the monster RR day once again yogi and myself set of to see a man about a dog... or rather the splendid 'DavidAshton' about a glanza...

we got it, brought it back and set about it, being as gentle as possible, for obvious reasons..

just to point out we were up from 6am on the saturday morning until 11pm on sunday... a whole 41 hours worth so things did become steady somewhat. big thanks to yogi for going through it with me! <3

now, the pics!

more sisters in arms at somepoint on saturday night... :/

coming along so well now! looking fantastic...

there are so many donor cars, because the money we make from breaking them is funding the project!

41hours straight tho certainly took its toll on me, i was fooked and still aint recovered properly yet ether haha!

Not far to go now!

Coming along awesomely! Deffo keep it looking granny spec!

Get the insides of the 3spokes banded so they are slightly wider.. and it would look immensely standard yet still give you traction!

Oh, and one last thing, steve, keep it hush around G town..

It's a need to know basis and tbh, non of them lot need to know! ;)

;) i love bein a nosey cunt when i manage to get my pc working markus!

Anyone would think these were a rare car except in gainsborough lol.

i got some calipers i just rebuilt would go nice on there mark cause those milk bottle tops wont be much good from 120 lol. measure the distance from where they mount hole>hole and i'll see if the ones off mine are the same. they use 262discs but i could make some brackets to space them out for bigger but wouldnt really need it on something that light lol.
