Roosy Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Ok so I thought I would upload the progression of forming my Glanza replica from my 1997 Starlet CD.Hope you enjoy ! Now allow me to introduce you(I didnt actually take any photos until I fitted a glanza bumper so I've stolen some from auto trader to give you an idea.) Maybe Ill help promote the guys sale lolHere's the real deal with fitted clear indicators, glanza bumper and a welded 3" exhaust tip until I get a exhaust system. Couldn't stand having a pea shooter with that bumper My next task was to get rid of those 13" diddy wheels and get some chunky alloys, I originally wanted to get some kind of white alloys but come across this set of black tsw wheels with the tyres for £80! Snatched them was well impressed and will do for nowFittedNext job was to remove those bump protector strips which took about 6 hours to get rid of the glue on both sides without scratching the paintFelt good to get rid of them though. The glue.3 hours later left side finished Both sides finished well happy with the outcomePainted brake drums.My bootlid conversion lol Fitted the bootlid and finally got round to fitting the skirts which have been sitting around the factory for about a month lol I brought some of these stickers for me wheels of ebay for £2 which looked awesome.Until they peeled off I guess thats what you get for £2 though lolFront bumper came was well excited I cant stand the original N/A bumper Wasn't happy when I found out that the bumper fitting is different to the standard one leaving me with a beautiful gap between the lights and the bumper and also having to remove the grill in order to be able to shut the bonnet :mad: ordered some glanza headlights from toyota but struggling to find a bonnet looks a right mess with the number plate cut out for fmic etc cant wait to sort it all out Finally got me a spoiler on the bright sideThe mut sneeking in and modelling for some shots :haha:And thats how she stands and allot more to come.
