My EP80 build

[brad25577]

Hey Guys/Girls,

Was suggested i make a build topic of my beautiful starlet, shes a 1.0 litre 54BHP back from 1990, mint condition, brought from a guy in edgeware, London for £500 back in March 2012, looked after her for a long time before i was able to drive took a while to pass my theory, due to money issues and girlfriend issues etc. anyways passed and got her on the road around january 2015 and well heres some photos of her and the build.

The first thing i did on my car was brought a alarm and central locking kit from ebay, for around the price of £40 and got my dad to install it, really its the best alarm kit he said hes ever done, it locks its self if i forget and walk away, its really loud, has a warning alarm and has 8 different sirens.

So being a young man who loves his music and sounds i decided to get my self a new radio and new speakers and some 6x9's, so i know i know halfords urgh, went halfords and got a sony MEX4100BT radio for about £100, fitted looks mint, replaced the front speakers for about £10 a piece for some 6" vibe tweeters at 60watts each, and got a set of 2 6x9's 420watts for about £70 yes halfords again and put them into the parcel shelf with help from my dad of course, oh and had to put a bass box in too, a small 10" 1050watt sub with a 300watt amp at the price of £125 again halfords, but hey it all sounds good and looks good so no complaints here.

more photos to come....

of course had to do my interior lights too, as the interior is blue i thought a nice white and blue themed starlet would be good, so center console has been kitted out with blue lights, the speedo and clocks have been all kitted with blue lights and same with the interior door light all blue. Blue leather gear knob also and a blue fake alarm light.

Then i decided i wanted to get some alloy wheels for her, took a long while to decide as first i wanted Rota grid ones but would only come in a 15" and well 15's wouldn't fit the arches so had to think of something else, as 13" would fit i went and decided to get some minilites, looking around and working out the best prices, i bit the bullet and got a set of 4 with tyres and diamond cut rims with of course new nuts, hub caps and delivery for about £450.

now ive decided i wanted a spoiler for the car and a new bonnet as its badly dented on the front and cant be repaired, the spoiler has been put on after drilling some nice big holes in the roof and bolting through the boot works really well took about an hour or so to fit but was great father and son time. Bonnet currently in the body shop being sprayed, but will update this thread when it all in place.

pictures to come.

Hi where did you get the boot spoiler for your car

[brad25577]

Hi Mikey22,

I was asking members on here for where i could get one, its from an EP82 GT model and someone said they had one and shipped it over to me, me and my dad custom fitted it with some bolts and bits and bobs we've got spare in the garage.

Regards

Brad
