russ78 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Right where to start, well its been almost a year since my I last bought a Jap import and My forged glanza project is nearing completion, then the mrs pipes up with "I want my own Glanza" so I was happy oblige but she can only drive auto so I kinda narrowed down the market but then couple of days ago up pops a Black Glanza S not far from us so I thought it was worth a venture up to have a look. Well the glanza looked a bit unloved when we saw it but we put that to one side and test drove it anyway and we were pleasantly surprised with how sweet it runs, only 2 registered UK owners and owner told me he had bought it for mrs but had split from her so car had sat on drive for months.owner before her was an old lady who had it from date of import still running in KMH reads 90,000kmh so roughly around 60,000 miles on the clock car never missed a beat on the way home very impressed so gave the engine bay a well needed bath came up sweet plans are to get it lowered and off those shitty steelies, needs a front strut brace a mph converter, painted rocker cover, oil and filter change etc etc paintwork needs a tidy up here and there but IMO was a total bargain and has now been saved from the breakers think mrs may be joining UKSO as well now..............

Glanzacoley Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 She's a darling not bad considering I payed £200 for the car. £70 for alloys & £60 for skirts & say £10 on stickers & a bit of elbow grease for cleaning her up x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
