Cheuchter Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Picked this up for a monkey at the weekend If the guy I bought it from put in the effort and gave it a clean and polish like I did when I got home, he might have got another £100 out of me!! -The bodywork is a bit tired as you'd expect with a 12 year old car but the sills and arches don't have a spot of rust on them. Mechanically the car seems sound also but there is a small leak which I think is coming from the oil filter not being tight enough. It looks fairly new so will take this off at the weekend, clean it all up and try fitting it tighter.I have some subtle plans for this car but progress will be as fast as funds will allow and I will attempt to do most of the work myself.A few things I've already done - A couple of stickers - Don't worry, there won't be any more Removed the original Toyota cassette deck and replaced it with a headunit I had lying around - Ordered - 12x6 plates40 mm Lowering springs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then I'm going to save for some 15" wheels and then see where it takes me from there. I don't want a Glanza rep but I do fancy front and rear bumpers and lights in the future Quote Link to post Share on other sites
