Well, guess i am back yet again!

ill get started...

found this local ep91 close to me so decided to have a look, and guess what..bought it

1 owner, 41k, CD model so has a good spec on it...

all i want to do with this one is keep as oem as possible and very subtle that 'non starlet' people probably wont even notice 👊🏼

going to try to keep this one as clean as i can aswell with it being low miles and also try my very best to keep a hold of it this time!

mods have started already also...first thing i done was remove the sidestrips and found nothing but a mess! found out its been in a minor bump before, and the left rear quarter has been painted and the lines under the sidestrip, have been smoothed in totally...so i have a smooth rear quarter, and also some dickhead stuck the sidestrip back on with blue silicone type stuff...

im not a happy chap!!

its getting priced up in a few days to get both sides smoothed and painted as i think its my best option...plus it does look pretty cool!

ive also fitted a 98 spec steering wheel, genuine rare toms gearknob, 96spec doorcards (front /rear seats havnt turned up yet) , glanza cup holders, yellow headlight bulbs/sidelights, de-striped both sides, glanza front strut and new plates...

got a few bits still to go aswell...waiting on a set of oem glanza wheels turning up, and also glanza rear bumper, glanza inner plastic arches, and the JDM Reflet front bumper.

also will be fitting 40mm lowering springs, 13x7 jap size plate and debating on fitting the glanza rear number plate surround but getting the reverse lights totally smoothed out so its something different and dont have to fuck on with the wiring.

later ill be wanting reflet rear light units, and fancy the rear windows getting a medium tint, but all in good time!

Will get some pics up when i get some better pics as its a mess atm but will deffo post when more bits and things are fitted/painted

Cant wait to make a proper start on this one, looking forward to it

Thanks!!

update

managed to find some of the darker interior rear plastics from a glanza, local too so picked them all up along with a glanza parcel shelf! and also the push in clips for the rear bench to clip in properly....all picked up 5mins away frommy house for the bargain price of £10 😱 over the moon with that!

all i need now is the rear strut covers to match as you can see, they look a bit odd

heres a few pictures 👍🏼

update !!

Cars been dropped off at the bodyshop tonight so hoping to have it back by the weekend! its getting both sides sorted, glanza rear bumper painted and reflet front bumper smoothed and painted!

also gave them my rear wiper blank to paint same colour as the car so i can remove the rear wiper and colour code it. looks so much better imo

got some new 13x7 plates to go on too once ive got it back...

picking some glanza front seats up at the weekend too, as thats all i need more or less to finish the interior off..kindly got the fronts for free too from a local lad so im buzzing with that.

its all starting to come together nicely now cant wait to get it back and see what it looks like.

all i need now is some 40mm springs to give it a nice drop on the new wheels and tyres...could do with getting the brakes looked at too as they are not the best but are working so can look at that later...

more pictures very soon hopefully!

well, got my car back from the bodyshop today and im over the moon with it...looks brand new again!

managed to get my front seats fitted so now have full glanza interior, just looks so much better and are a bit more comfy, much better with the seat up/down adjustor for my arse lol

also removed the 3rd brakelight so i fitted the glanza shelf aswell...

got my reflet bumper painted aswell as my glanza rear bumper, and bung for me to remove my rear wiper.

reflet bumper looks awesome smoothed and with the new 13x7 number plate fitted! perfect.

long as the weather is good at the weekend i should have them fitted too, but i might just wait untill shes lowered so i can fit my wheels aswell...time will tell.

Also please enjoy a picture of my super bright led interior light 😂

got my 98spec rear light units today and fitted them straight on! they are amazing...transform the rear end loads and thats without my glanza rear and jap plate...not be long

they are the full units so have the red caps inside the unit still, for the lights and also the rear fog, so no need for red bulbs!

has to remove the red cap on the left side one as my reverse light would of been red instead of white! but easy done...

over the moon how they look and also how easy to fit! (thanks jamesglanza!)

heres a couple of pics , will get better ones the weekend
