JamesD89 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Hello all,Well after having to break my Gt in 2014 to buy my first home ,and a brief stint in the Mr2 scene, I'v just bought this little bus direct from the motherland, with any luck she will be on the boat in the next week or so and in the UK in the next 2 months. I have missed my Gt since the day I parked it up for breaking and cannot wait to get back in a Starlet and boosting once again.Here she is, completely and standard with 109,000kms, I cannot wait James Edited February 5, 2016 by JamesD89 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 What made you go for a glanza mate? Big plans for it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
00joeindastarb0 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Nice one James I like the 96 front with the splitter, what's the plan with this one then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesD89 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 What made you go for a glanza mate? Big plans for it? I wanted another Gt ideally mate, but after getting messed about by the dealer of the only clean one within budget I could find, I saw this and thought why not, I love a blank canvas to work with. Still got the Charade? hows she going? Nice one James I like the 96 front with the splitter, what's the plan with this one then Cheers Joe I never liked the optional splitter but the more I look at it it's growing on me. Hows your Gt? No real plans yet until I see the actual condition when it gets here, if it's as clean as described I will just look for the Recaro interior and keep her stock and shiny for shows etc, I modded my Gt and made it almost unbearable to drive with the noise and rattling, I won't be making that mistake again lol.

mart1 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Nice standard glanza you have got there with low miles that will last you for years, this is just how I like them maybe one or to little mods job done:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yeh still got the charade. Its in bits at the moment and so is the daily. I really need to put the tools down Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Shame you got rid of the GT man, it was so clean! This V looks mint though, even keeping it standard it'll have that cult status in the years to come. No doubt values will be going up further Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This V looks mint though, even keeping it standard it'll have that cult status in the years to come. No doubt values will be going up further Hows it going Amjad? Still got the Gt shell here, but I stripped it down so far the cost and work to get it back up and running is more of a challenge than I want right now, will be offering the shell for free in the near future, give someone else a crack at it, yours is going well I hope? Nice standard glanza you have got there with low miles that will last you for years, this is just how I like them maybe one or to little mods job done:) Cheers mate I totally agree.

JamesD89 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Lol probably the most shameful moment of my driving career, parked the wrong way on a mini roundabout with all the jap cars cruising past me slowly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aleximport25 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 probably would of been ok on a normal day but just getting back out into convoy is probably the worst time for it to happen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still got the Gt shell here, but I stripped it down so far the cost and work to get it back up and running is more of a challenge than I want right now, will be offering the shell for free in the near future, give someone else a crack at it, yours is going well I hope?Good, thanks! Got a lot of my niggles sorted, fine tuning it for track use nowYeah I can imagine it would be, tracking down parts can take an age Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesD89 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Update on this for anyone interested, the car landed Thursday and cleared customs Friday, off down to collect her in the Morning.It's been the slowest 2 months of my life waiting and tracking the vessel but hopefully will be well worth it. I will fire up some pics once she is home and had a good bath.James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
