m11xky Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 My first car was a Red GLSAfter years of watching this forum and craving a Glanza....Here it is! (BEFORE MY VALETING ARM HAD BEEN RAISED)(MY COROLLA T-SPORT IN BACKGROUND - FOR SALE by the way!!!)Runs very well, minimal UK service history but was reflected in the price. The previous owner had made a real mess of the front bumper trying to make the intercooler fit so that is high on my list!Also the retracting wing mirrors were not operating, the gearbox is on its way out and some nasty paint peel on the rear bumper......But after a wash and a trip to show my cousin... it looked better...^ Next to my cousins G6 (4AFE i think)The car came with-2x spare altinators2x intake manifoldsSpare BOVAir conditioning PumpBox of LOADS of boltsTop mount intercooler2x sets of CamsGEARBOX!!!10w40Oil filterFew other random things that Im not sure what they are!....and a 3/4 tank of unleaded Its definitely a project and needs some tidying up but im happy to take on the challange!
