Windows are routed through the hazard switch on my GT. If that's not fitted, windows didn't work. IIRC

I don't understand how they are 60K but yet so Presh!

Depends on how much you paid, if you bought it for top dollar, then yeah I'd be fuming. But if you got it for a steal, then you could be on to a winner. Doesn't seem like too much to fix.

Nothing broke can't be fixed. It's just frustrating at times.

Some people have no morals, that's the problem.

Very Smart!

Rob.

Wow yeah, blast from the past.

Would love to see where the car is at now!

Cheers, over the moon with it! 

I'm only 23 and have 2 years ncb as I've only been driving since I was 21.. And all my no claims are on my other car at the moment. 

I got mine when I was 21 with 0 NCB.  Cracking car to have, must admit mine has never actually worked but nevertheless.

Paint looks fab.

Run a second policy? I pay something nominal like £200 a year for my Starlet.

Really want to have these sorts of fabrication skills

So impressive.

That is going to pop!

Such a clean car as well.

What are the plans for it?

Have you actually tried to fit this yet tho ??? The funny shape bit behind the wheel will hook into yours to cancel the Indies, as for a horn you'd have to fit a separate switch, that wheel looks like it will go straight on ?

I've never got passed the boss. But I agree, I think it may just fit.

Any advice is there any way to measure this wheel and start looking at boss kits (what kits you guys using?) - it looks it's a toyota wheel so it cannot be too many standards there (I presume it's a similar thing to a PCD when buying alloys;) @Rob H@RCH Engineering

The important part, is finding a boss that safely mounts to the column.

And then fabricating the adaptor to plate from there.

Like you say, it might just bolt onto the column without anywork. I have no experience. You would need to start tearing down your column to find out.

Here is a photo of my EP80 column next to my EP82 Column from when I did the Non-PAS conversion.

See the blue boss on my 82 column for aftermarket wheels.

Notethe uniqueness of the EP80 shaft.

It's not likely to just fit.

It won't be a direct fit.

You will need some sort of boss that can take aftermarket wheels.

That will give you something to mount a bespoke adaptor plate to that mates the wheel to the column.

Rob might be clever and have some other clever way of doing it without the boss, but without him physically seeing what he's got to work with, it is difficult to say.

Anything is possible, and you're lucky that there are skills on this site that could make your dream a reality.

Super clean!

That's a dream build right there!

I'd say, you're nearly there for decent coilovers, grab a set of Meister Rs. Should be able to get a used set for that much, or save a little more and get them new.

There should be a plate that goes over the top of those arms as well pal.

Hello and Welcome.

Nice GT you got there.

Fantastic cars!

You know what, it's not that bad of a price. I understand, if like me, you paid £1400 for your Starlet, that it may seem expensive. But it's money well spent when you consider what it's job is.

I've been thinking about this a lot, and I think it's the only way to go personally. 

Agreed, I need to get myself to the Japland for sure!

I was literally just about to ask!!!

Yes that's lovely.

I doubt it, by the looks of it, that fits directly to the column. Where as later models tend to have a boss mounted to the column

You would want a Starlet boss that can accept a variety of aftermarket steering wheels.

Then an adaptor plate made up to mount your wheel to that boss safely.

I would imagine. I literally have no idea and am just guessing though.

@Rob H@RCH Engineering Would be able to fabricate this for you no problem. If you sent him the wheel I'm sure he could get access to a starlet column to try it out against!

Looks cool!

You will need an adaptor plate made up. Swap out the hub and boss and go from there.

I am pretty sure I paid £25 for my JD Tuning one.

TD Have them for £35
