mart1 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) After me selling my old v over 4yr ago i have been looking for a good unmodified v that I wanted to treat myself and get one for my 40th birthday yes old man lol & This is it my second v, I will not be selling this one, 85000km it is all standard apart from TRD back box & Enkei alloys this is how it came in from import to UK.I'm the second UK owner, I bought it of a 57 yr old lady that had it for 7yrs which she loved it very much & was reluctant to sell it at first, she told me it was used for just going to tesco & back lol which you can tell with it having shopping trolley dints on it that I will be getting sorted soon.I have serviced the v & had full cam belt kit water pump fitted also the Enkei wheels was white looking verypitted, I have had them professionally powder coated gun metal grey, the rear bumper is coming off today for respray as it has been rattle canned in the corners, anyway this is how it looks at the moment on a dull day lol will take pics up of the engine bay after I give it a good clean over.

mart1 Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Just a little up date, I have had new KYB excel g shocks & apex 35mm springs fitted, it looks a little bit lower & hopefully drop a bit more when it has settled down, my glanza only has size 14 wheels so there is still quite a gap, still looks good though.
