Great progress mate 

That’s unreal

Can’t wait to see the end result mate nice progress 

Gone to a good friend who I originally bought her from so I still get to tinker and help with things. I can’t keep everything lol and need to work on one of the corollas 

Well, the GT went on Wednesday. Due to being busy at work, I literally had a day to enjoy the result of all my work. Really happy she's gone back to Connor and wish him all the best. I'll still see her from time to time and am looking forward to her returning to Black.

I really hope this Club pics up again as these cars achieve cult status. I'll stay on here and keep up to date with some builds.

Sold please lock 

Yeah times have changed and seems like we are all dinosaurs now. I’m not on any social media other than car forums just can’t be doing with all the extra shit that comes with it. 
 

this site is a really good layout and really user friendly, has lots going for it compared with others. Having just sold the GT, I’ll keep logging in to see what’s going on if anything.

Matty, your build is next level honestly, one of the best I’ve seen. But I know what you mean and stopping every two seconds to take a pic and log some info and then not receiving any interest is diss heartening 

Sold please lock 

get some pics up!

Thanks mate really appreciate it. I've enjoyed saving the car and am glad its going to a good owner who isn't going to break it. Looking forward to the next projects!

Future plans from Connor are to remove the wrap and give it a full body restoration.

In a funny turn of events, the previous owner Connor approached me a month or two ago asking to have her back. So we agreed a deal and she goes next week. I literally get a weeks worth of fun for all my hard work but it was well worth it just to save her.

I also found a new project which you may be able to see lurking in the background. 

Well, not that many people seem interested in this thread but she passed MOT today and is now back on the road! 
 

No advisories which I’m b happy with. The lads at the test station seems to absolutely love the thing.

I think times have just changed and people aren't really interested in build threads anymore. Also, as parts dry up and standard ish cars become rarer i guess there's less opportunity. The whole Jap scene is going the same way TBH.

There's a gap in the market for starlet parts too I think. Intercoolers, full exhaust kits, brake kits, wheels that have the correct offset... Maybe it seems like a big gap to us but there's not enough money in it for companies to be interested.

Hi mate, yes

Thanks mate.
 

I know, such a shame but seems everything’s shifted to Facebook now, must just be a sign of the times I guess. as the market has dried up and most cars are either going for silly money or getting exported overseas there’s not much opportunity for new builds. 

Hi all, been a on here for quite a while now and have noticed the Club is just dying. There doesn’t seem to be much activity at all, especially from admin.

Why is it that I tried to list three items on Thursday evening and they still haven’t been authorised? Yes I can put them on eBay etc but wanted to offer them on here first. So what am I paying membership for? 
 

This place really needs some life breathing in to it before it shuts down.

Front bumper all trimmed up and back on. Just need to find out why the washers don’t work. Nothing wrong with the pump or fuse

V nice mate mate really clean too

The rocker cover was driving me mad being all marked up and dirty next to the RW rocker. So I’ve given it a refurb. Just means the engine mount needs to come back off to refit.

Awesome work as always 

Yeah I bet they get some decent air flow! Especially now the air con has been ditched 🤣

Forgot the rear windows did this until the other day
