chigs123 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Just over a year ago I had a 98 glanza in white, loved it to bits! Spent every last penny on it when it needed it... Then the mrs became pregnant! Fearing it would be too small and too much to run etc I had to get rid to this day its the biggest regret. BUT then about 4 months ago I bought a n/a poorly half built conversion, was told headgasket was gone so thought I'd take the gamble and bought it with td04l kit and aftermarket manifold, full glanza kit interior etc... Stripped it down to find (ringland)? Piston 4 pood itself so the build began, as it stands now the engine nearly built and ready to go in, just waiting on few last parts... So here we go Plenty more to come!! Quote
chigs123 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 Cheers guys! Wasn't too taken on colour at first but has really grown on me I just need to sort the bodywork out. In the middle of painting The engine bay at the moment I'll get some more pics up later Quote
chigs123 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 Started the tear downThink this was the cause!!So stripped her down, got some pistons,rods, mains, bige ends thrust washers had the crank re-ground, all new seals, rings, athena head gasket, head bolts, head skimmed and pressure tested. Then began painting some parts up Quote
daniel_g Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Cracking work, have always wanted to see a N/a in this colour Glanza kitted. Think its a colour that came on the Sol models. Quote
chigs123 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Posted February 15, 2014 I do like the colour although its a custom colour the previous owner had done and cannot seem to get a paint match anyhwere to touch up the engine bay is painted but its a slightly different colour now :/ and have just got the engine in ready for finishing touches and my loom when it arrives will update pics later Quote
