Aamir Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) pHi all,Idrees was breaking a mint 1996 Glanza V and I was breaking a Cat C damaged Toyota Starlet SR. So I decided to re-shell my SR into the Glanza and build it slowly but the way I exactly wanted it! The shell was literally a bare shell with a passenger side door and I wasn't allowed to turbo this one so I realized i had to do all of the following:-Strip all the interior out -Roof lining out-Dash out -Carpet out -Steering rack out This was all replaced by bits of my SR which was pretty depressing but I didn't really have much choice lol!Anyway here she is looking sorry for herself;I'll try to update the thread as I'm progressing the carThanks for lookingAamir Edited January 27, 2015 by ro55ifumi Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMB Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Seems like a good idea, you'll end up with a really clean car Although, if your about to pass your test, won't this one technically have to be insured as the glanza it once was? Won't that be expensive for someone just passing? Link to post Share on other sites
Aamir Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Yeah it will be mate but the Sr is a cat D and im most likely going to buy another run about until i carl i can get insured on it Edited August 24, 2013 by aamir-id-workz Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 You can change the Glanza details with the DVLA, tell them it's got a 4E-FE in it and it'll be cheaper to insure. Link to post Share on other sites
Aamir Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) So today I got the hard work done and out of the way. Engine and engine wiring loom has been removed from the Sr along with the glanza rear bumper and lights.

Aamir Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Cant be hanging about as im starting college on Tuesday, so much to do. Got Iddy's engine in though!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Aamir Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 College has started, been slack. Been trying to get the brakes sorted as I've removed the ABS and found that I haven't taken all the break pipes I needed from the Sr which has now been scrapped so I'm a bit stuck at the moment Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Thats such a sad picture of the SR shell with its arse on the floor....looks like its wee'd itself too lol Link to post Share on other sites
Aamir Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) She was only in that position when the engine was removed I put it back flat on the floor not long after Aamir Edited October 8, 2014 by Aamir Link to post Share on other sites
Aamir Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 I sold the Speed lines and I found another set of wheels CHEAP. Bided for them on eBay last minute and won them for £185. So.... Went and picket them up today. Two wheels were fine. The other 2 needed a refurb but were fine other than that. Brought them home to find one of them which didn't have a tyre on it was a 15inch and the other three were 16's. quickly rang him and his phone was of. Absolutely gutted. Rang him 30 mins later and bingo he picked up the phone. He said he had mixed the wheels up but was clearly lying as the wheels aren't very common and he said he had a few sets. Luckily got a refund but was a waste of petrol. The wheels were Rota Auto's, 3 with Yokohama Prada spec two tyres and one without a tyre. Just be careful I'd say if he decides to re list the wheels and try to sell them to someone else. They wasn't Hawwy's wheels if anyone is wondering... Link to post Share on other sites

Aamir Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Coilovers have now been fitted, the front sits low already even without an engine which is quite....scary as I'm wondering how low it's going to be with the engine in. Also purchased a polished fuel rail Link to post Share on other sites

Aamir Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Thank you fremyjay and Marc the Toms should be coming within the next two weeks as the person who I'm buying them off doesn't have any other wheels to put on his at at the moment. Hopefully wont be too long im hoping. Also going to order the two remaining brake pipes from online so my engine can go back in and i can start getting parts sprayed. 98 spec front bumper, optional lip, optional rear lip, Livesports spoiler, eye lids and JAM style closed bonnet scoop and maybe Cruise wings Link to post Share on other sites
