jimbox1 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I have owned a glanza for just over a 2years now,Was about to start a build thread when a few weeks ago my car was crashed into and is beyond repair! So I've decided not to break it but use it as donor car. It has had almost every thing already done to it so won't need to be at arsing about trying to get parts which will save time! Haha. Here are a few photos of my car and the shell I picked yesterday from tuning developments and stripped today.When I first got her:And before the crash:The crash:(And the shell: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimbox1 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Got the shell on it side to strip the under side for stone chip and paint, both captive nuts had spun in the lower arm mounts so had to cut a hole to weld on some new ones. Quite happy with my work as I've not done any welding and fabrication in about 9 years! Haha Here's a few pics:It will get painted tomorrow, will get more pics looks mental just sitting in its side on a mattress! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
