Starting to take shape now 😍

So today Phil started redressing the engine  bay  cleaning and decreasing  and spraying up some  brackets   I never in my wildness dreams  thought it would end up as good as this  it better than the day she rolled off the production line 😀 

Another rhdjapan purchase that's on route and some more parts vapour blasted 

On route back to phils garage for  put her back together ❤️  man I'm getting  excited as I  miss my car so much !!!! And an rhdjapan Sunday morning  purchase 

Paint work nearly complete 😍

Following this on insta, nice work, not seen one of those radiators on a Starlet before, is it a one off custom job or is it from another car?
It's a shame hardly anyone posts on here anymore, used to love reading build threads like this and would post my own but it seems pointless when only a handful of people are going to see it anyway. The facebook groups are no where as good as what forums used to be!

Yes it's custom made especially for my car wasn't cheap . Yes the forums are dead such a shame really

Stelf Yo 😈

Sure is mate don't like chopped  bumpers 

Starting to take shape now 😍

I'm getting very excited 😊 I must say  Phil is very fussy I must say love the rubber bobbins for the radiator  mounts 

Phil has his car loaded up with the wicked ep racing intercooler  core and the new custom  radiator  off to his place of work  howell  body shop for some brackets for the intercooler and radiator and then engine bay painting 

Small update  well a big update really for the progress of the car  a custom one off  alloy radiator  this took a while to be built but it looks epic should  hold some amount  of water   went this route as when I do  a track day should keep things nice and cool  Phil tells he has all the pieces of the puzzle now and expects the project to pick up pace

Nice one Mate  I've a 2nd hand set myself to collect then getting sent for a rebuild 

 Cheers mate ill look forward to seeing 👀 yours when there rebuilt 

This is mad Phil ordered my injector dynamics 1050xs  from Tuning developments on a Wednesday  afternoon  and no messing they arrived next morning to phils house in the northern ireland  Phil phoned them up and made the order maybe that's the best way to order off Tuning developments 

Look what matty scored last night at midnight  off Conor  Browne  these came in on a crazy spec red ep91 that conor has just imported from japan to say I'm  happy  is an understatement  there practically brand new  and I got them for an absolute  steal  good job conor loves my car or he said he'd  have kept for one of this own cars
