Jez-ep91 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) A few years back I got my hands on two Glanza's. One non runner and another with a seized engine. Making a good one from the two. This is the one I decided to break, It had been painted 8 times according to the V5, had alot more miles and as much as I liked the yellow I still prefered silver one. The yellow one came with a set of Ray's I got powder coated in white. Also have a set of Rota Grids which I got done in Dark anthracite. Managed to get the majority of the parts off before selling this on as a rolling shell. Including Blitz dump valve, TRD strut brace, TRD carbon dial surround and door cards, brand new radiator and a few other bits and peices. When my mate owned this one I stuck an engine in for him. It had only covered around 40k so I will be using that in the silver one. Now that I had everything I needed I got cracking with the other one. Few dings and marks here and there but generally in good condition. Getting the engine swapped. Regret not taking the time to clean the bay while I had the engine out. Sat pretty high without the engine haha This one had new Gaz shocks and Tein springs, will get round to coilovers when I have the money. The yellow one came with a Toyosports manifold which has been strengthened in the hope that it lasts until I get a new turbo set up. Replaced all gaskets with genuine Toyota. New gaskets Spent some time polishing the inlet. Got an Apexi intake, relocation kit, Wahlbro fuel pump, sard fpr, cusco rear strut brace, D1 nuts, groved rear discs, pads, rear bearings, handbrake cables, calliper rebuild kits. The Fuel cut defender is just temp until i can afford proper management. Restoring the headlights, fitting inlet and painted rocker Fit a sandwich plate for my oil pressure and temperature gauges Used the front mount from the donor car Wheels and studs on. Need a set of centre caps. Next on the list is probably an ABS delete kit and throw on a timing belt kit. Got a clear timing cover from Browner waiting to go on also. Engine bay is an absolute disgrace so going to spend a bit of time trying to sort it out. The glanza stickers were ruined so I stuck on a carbon pair instead. Gave the callipers a blast and a coat of blue. Timing belt kit, water pump and ABS delete kit arrived. Pulled out the ABS when I was doing the belt and water pump, freed up so much room. Delighted with how the body work came up with a T-CUT so decided to take on the rest of the bay ABS kit from tuning developments was an absolute treat! Filthy... Cleaning up the firewall, looking alot nicer already Getting everything back together Some more parts have arrived and gearbox is away being rebuilt. Got magnecor leads, new plugs, cap, points and roose hoses. Sticking to the blue theme Cleaned up the arches ready for an undercoat All undersealed in black D2 Coilovers fitted. Finally got it running again and sorted my idle problem. Flushed the engine and cooling system before topping it up with new fluids Greddy Profec Boost controller and boost gauge fitted, along with my OMP steering wheel.
