Ryan5793 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Thought id share my daily as its becoming a little project now so rewind 2 years, I needed a daily while I forged and turbo converted my glanza rep when flicking through facebook a silver SR pops up for breaking before then being used for banger racing, I made a cheeky offer on the whole car and it was dropped off the next day. What had i bought? It had clearly had a rattle can respray at some point and looked seriously rough! Hopefully though it should drive ok and do me for abit i thought. I knew it needed a backbox and driveshafts so after swapping these over i filled it with fuel to find the tank pissed it back out everywhere, Great. Lucky i had one spare on a glanza donor shell for my rep so swapped it over and the next morning i had a 50 mile trip to find the clutch slipped, and the wipers worked.. sometimes.After replacing the clutch and fixing its small niggles i used the car looking above for about 18 months trouble free and then as we all know the starlet bug bit and the mods started.from my glanza shell i took the 96 spec interior and stole some evo 7 recaros from my brother.Outside I replaced the wings, doors and rear bumper from the glanza shell and resprayed the terrible bonnet!freshly redone speedlinesGlanza mirrors because electric is so much better and look better too.to how it stands nowFuture plans are too respray both sides and bumpers, amber indicators, replace the SR graphics and then carry on using it. Im not chasing power with the N/A they are shit slow no matter what you try! Anyways thats all up till now so thanks if you actually made it this far reading all that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpikeyJp_68 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Looks a hell of a lot better than when you got it, Fair play mate. Is keep the sr decals if I were you keeps it nice and original but it's just personal preference I suppose:) top work Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Westley Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Why would anyone do that to an SR at least it made its way into the hands of someone who appreciates starlets! Looks great now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
