Starlet-Joshy Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Welcome to > Josh's Faded JDM Racecar! (Revamp thread a little)Whats happening people?!!Okay so as many of you know me on here by now, you will know that I've been wanting a Glanza for ages!, However due to circumstances, money issues, im keeping my N/a Faded Shitbox ;)! Now resisting the title bit to explain what im going for, Basically im going for a Jdm Track spec slut!, with the possibility of actually doing some track days this year. So to recap, i started this thread in November with 57k miles, Glanza spoiler and bumper, Rolla mani and Apexi Airfilter!. Since this thread started, spoiler has gone, and ive acquired a few parts ;)Haven't had much love for this car until recently, when i finally made a decision on what to do this year, and with japfest closing in, it's time to get my ass in gear!!. Okay so glanza spoiler came of when jet washed, so thats sold, still got the Rolla mani and Apexi Airfilter. Would like to acquire just the glanza front as have plans for a mean JDM look at the rear, but we shall see what funds allow Parts that i have aquired, (Steering wheel, Ht leads, few other bits) will be fitted at the end of month April 14, As insurance will allow mods, till then its cosmetic and cleaning! Bought some meguiars to be cleaning once paintwork is sorted a bit!Watch This space people!, Project Faded Jdm Racecar is a coming Edited May 29, 2014 by Starlet-Joshy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet-Joshy Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Okay guys so the cars home and well and had a look round and only noticed a few things wrong. In which these being the gas struts on the rear boot-lid have failed and drops on its own when open. A few little bits of rust on the D/s door and general filth with the car. I spent a good couple of hours cleaning the car today Using G3 and just doing a bit of the outside to bring the colour back. I still need to do the inside, full valet and maybe some seat covers to cover the gash fabric. Also need to degrees the engine bay as its filthy as fuck and im a little ocd when it comes to that. Many plans to do, should be polishing some more tomorrow providing weather holds up (its Britain tho). Any whoo, here's some pics to tide you lot over, sorry for the late upload! Here's the engine bay in need of some loving Side view! ASS DOE!! ** Yes i know the rear plate is illegal this is getting changed on monday! ** Faded maybe? ;) After some loving !!!!

Starlet-Joshy Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hmmmm.. Decided i would give a lil update for this piece of shit haha. So decided to keep the car after its got classed as a write off. Needs a Vic check and a Engineer's report, Great lol. Anyway only really just replaced the front bumper and that, got a few plans, nothing major die to me getting a glanza towards April time. Needs some jap plates so thats on the cards, 6x9's should be here soon. This is my workhorse, lol so not to fussed about bodywork atm, may give it some tlc though, already washed a polished it a few times. Actually dont know what the wheels are on it lol, Toyota corolla ones maybe?, Need to get some nuts to put rotas on heheWhen i gave it a wash few weeks ago lol, been shite weather since The bay atm, ( Why are the top mount bolts that way round???, The holes are covered up the over side? Side view! This is the side thats faded?, Dont think it will mop, its gone back to primer i think haha Changing the bumper and headlight due to the crash, (Why because Racecar) And last a BEFORE - DURING - AFTER Maybe some updates to come, depending if the insurance get there finger out there ass and give me my £500!!!
