Body panel collection coming along nicely almost complete now new outer sills arrived and I can confirm they are the same as oem read many posts saying you need fiesta ones etc had me a little worried but they are available in Eastern European countries these came from Estonia but at least we know they are available rather than trying to make other parts fit

Possibly may look into the spacers has anyone fitted them on a Sr? Rang loads up no one ever gets back mate

Hardly surprising,😂 did you explain the value of the tte lip

spent yesterday tinkering and it had a good bath it smelt like a car that had been stood for three years so needed addressing much better now slowly writing down bits that need replacing and then took it out for 15 mins round the hills of west yorkshire

The forum seems to be getting a little more life into it lately as above love a good build thread

Its taken me a full week to read this thread gotta keep her 9 years ownership fantasic mate

Totally agree I've had people sell me things for less for what they actually wanted because they can see what I'm trying to achieve on my build thread I've also offered my old interior for free as it's just taking up space

Has anyone got a nice steering wheel for sale for my Sr restoration, I'm based in Wakefield, and Sheffield will travel for a really nice example

Always loved this SR gotta be one of the best in the country along with Dalesr low mileage, I really hope these start going up in value soon I always get people asking about mine in petrol stations etc

Not much to update really just put a few miles on her suspension settled down and feels perfect suprised by the grip on the budget tyres aswell be different in wet I'd imagine, more parts arriving next week can anyone recommend a decent tyre size and make I've only ever ran stock sizes in continentals but fancy a change

depends if you need the cash if its not a issue fit em or its money towards other things as for mot as you know thats what i did and it passed

im after a nice steering wheel now if anyone has something id be interested in drop me a message standard or nice aftermarket my current one it what you would expect for 150k and 22 years old

yeah its always bugged me mate its brand new aswell

just a little update while i search for the tte lip ive fitted a laguna splitter it the only modification the exterior will get ive always felt the front end was missing something and the laguna is a safe choice and in keeping with the 90s styling

Looking good mate really is gonna wet vac my gt seats and sort the tiny hole can't belive how comfy they are, whats next?

Love this check out out my build very very similar back story great place is this forum

my fuel tank did the same mate my dash has slight sun damage aswell right where window meets im on hunt for anew steering wheel as its very very worn

Hi look forward to the updates get some decals on her looks lovely

its in bury mate top bloke mainly 70s and 80s parts

Found a absolute treasure trove of New old stock for toyotas called old school retro

Love the wheels, you over on celica club aswell?

Thanks mate it certainly will by the time I'm finished in the next twelve months silver hides a multitude of sins, il be honest I'm not sure il take a look later for you

I know yours was a good one if not the best Rarely see black in fact I can't honestly remember last time I saw a Sr on the road must be 5 years ago Also got my aircon regassed bloody needed it yesterday In fairness its my decision to do all that work complete sills labour's gonna cost same as patching so just replace full length it's only the back that's going a little in the usual spots and same for the rear quarter doesn't really need doing it's more for the scabby arch I'm only using the bit below the fuel cap towards the door but it's having a respray anyway (again I could just have the repair work blown in) so may as well replace stuff its in decent nick for 22 years old and owes me absolutely nothing it's the inner rears that needed the attention I like things doing properly mate, I'm having all the doors box sections etc cavity filled to prevent the rust I could not bother with that part it's the paint that's so expensive it would bug me knowing only bits had been done lol,I'm like you want things doing right mate it's gonna be kept in the garage and used for shows on dry weekends I can replace money I can't replace S447XHL like part of family now, got the nod off a mr2 owner yesterday on the a1 As for the door cards your saying the material comes away from the darker plastics?

You are right they look awesome but I'm sure my plastics a lighter shade of grey? If it's not il have em

Thanks mate been to jr classics restorations today they have been round it and its booked in for 4th January that's how busy they are it's costing me a lot but this car is a life long project that I want to own all my life the amount of memories and good times (and bad) wrapped up in this car can never be replaced could own a nice glanza tbh but this projects not about that, work to be carried out 2 new full length sills Both rear inner arches replaced Passeger side rear quarter replaced New passeger door Full underseal Full respray in silver Wheels refurbished New decals fitted Full cavity wax in doors rear arches bootlid, and bonnet.......... I NEED YOUR TTE LIP Seriously though thanks for the kind words SR's don't get the love they deserve The film came off easy the glue was a absolute ball ache used nail varnish remover Mrs not impressed had to buy her another litre
