chigs123 Posted February 5, 2014 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
