RobSR Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 havent updated this in a while...still cracking on with the glanza wiring looms, and have come to a few probs...as mine is a 98, the fuel pump plugs and a couple of other bits and bobs dont hook up to the glanza interior loom, but they would if i had a 96 n.a, so need to hunt down a few more wires...apart from that, the loom is basically in..i got sicalns old fte ages ago that need quite a few bits on it, and ive finally got another buggered fte to swap the bits over from, got an engine stand today, so got it on that and started stripping it down etc..finally, on sunday im getting my new wheels , (pics when there home).....so that means, ive got 5 speedlines up for grabs if anyone wants them!
