Hi all, new to the site, i just got hold of a 88 alto works rsr that has had an engine swap at some stage i think, its now got the 660cc dohc in it, the car has been registered before but needs work to get back up to scratch to get it on the road again as its been sitting in a car port for approx 3 years, parts im chasing (that i know of so far) are a front windscreen, and seal, passenger side rear window, im happy to source them from overseas if needed but just dont know where to start, if anyone can help or point me in the right direction it would be appreciated, also it has a blown turbo and i have heard rumours that there is a turbo kit with injectors, ecu upgrade, can anyone confirm this and if so, who does it? thanks everyone, look foward to reading some helpful info and getting this little beast back on the road.

to be honest im still getting to know the models, and i pick it up next week(well tow truck does) so cant just go and have a look, its the round head light shape if that helps, the first of the round headlight shape im told, do u know of the turbo upgrade kit i mentioned? if i got to replace the turbo anyway im thinkin might as well go for the upgrade

EDIT: I did speak to a glass place once, but need to take the care there, which I can't do

:lol: Some sneaky bugger has put the plate off a local CA91V model Alto on a CL11V to try and get it registered. Dodgy!

thats what i thought, looks like they have even cut the vin out the firewall and changed that to, so i got no idea what the original vin is, would it be stamped anywhere else?

I'm currently trying to get some parts bought and shipped on a mates container;
If I was able to get a windscreen for say $2-300AUD total (to SA) - would you be interested?
(current cheapest i've found is $120AU - but I have no idea what extras I have to add to that (yet))
