BillyM247 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 So i bought this car 2 weeks ago now i think, i found it on ebay and it seemed really nice. I went to view it and it was in pretty rough shape in some places, the spoiler was loose, the skirts was a little lose, the exhaust wasn't held very well, the manifold was slightly cracked and the car was filthy.I ended up buying it anyway as i got it at a good price, and seen as it's my first Glanza (SR) i wanted something that needed a bit of work so i can learn about them in the process. I drove 3 hours there to pick it up and drove the car back. The car was great and didnt skip a beat although it smokes when you boost it. This is how it looked when i first got it. The next day of owning it i changed the stereo that didn't work to a brand new one, i took everything out of the car (interior, handbrake suround etc) hoovered the hell out of it! i fixed the seats and interior back in with new matching screw/nuts/bolts because they were all odd and it looked abit crap. I then fitted new exhaust mounts on the back box and centre pipe. I replaced the indicators as one was missing a lens and the windscreen wipers were odd so replaced them. Yesterday i decided the wheel spray job and colour looked abit rubbish so decided to spray them up myself in a nice dark glittery purple. Heres the wheels after being sprayed. Also sprayed the gear nob as it was very tatty I also bought a new exhaust manifold from tuning developments and got it booked in for a full service inc gearbox oil, engine oil, waterpump and timing belt etc. Manifold will be fitted by them as whilst its in. Im going to get the car a full detail to smarten it up abit and hopefully ill get a full respray when i get the money. I love the car its really fast and been reliable so far.. just need little things here and there. I was told it was known on this forum? The reg is T906 JKY and its a starlet SR but with all glanza body work/ engine etc.If anyone has any info or history of this car please get in touch! Hopefully the car will be in tip top shape for jap fest! Heres how it is atm, its dirty as it rained and i didnt get chance to polish it lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BillyM247 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Thanks guys for the nice comments, can't wait to get into perfect condition. Looks like it's been abused since its been owned by you Rhys. Probably from the person I bought it off but I'll get it all sorted! 😀 Thanks guys for the nice comments, can't wait to get into perfect condition.
