burty

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 ref

And how it is now, I've orded a brand new laguna splitter it's in keeping with the era of the car and just can't get a tte one the only gripe a have with the na is the bumper height hopefully this will sort it also removed the window tints I fitted after 16 years they had gone purple and was letting it down a little

New

Decided on fitting the rears to match the fronts in the end I had my Sr bench retrimmed when I bought it as you couldn't get glanza seats back then Old

seats fitted today well fronts what a transformation in terms of seating position , im now undecided to get sr seats in rear to match the door cards or put the gt ones in to match the fronts

cleaned mine today before fitting seats then i saw this and realised i must try harder fair play mate

Finally got some seats full set aswell few tiny holes nothing major may use the material off the rears to make them perfect then retrim the rears a matching shade up the middle seller was a really nice guy also a member on here

I've had both mr2 and celica and I'm certain they are the same mate if that helps broaden the search for you

Get ready you may have started something now I'd be up for it aswell 😂😂😂 I've never seen one on a silver onec

Tell me about it the lad I got the exhaust off said he's turned down loads more money for it than what I paid was such a genuine guy only let me have it as he saw my car on facebook and said it was worth selling for the right car so lucky fingers crossed il get these seats, also would pay good money for a copy lip

Half of battle with these cars is finding parts was hard 15 years ago never mind now was so lucky getting exhaust absolute fluke tbh, regret not getting that tte copy lip now been in touch with idworkz definitely stopped now such a shame

shame your not close by as i would of popped by to see how lower rails feel ,cant wait to sort it your feel like your sat on top rather than in them

thanks mate id love a 98 spec been searching for over a month but fingers crossed i may have a GT interior on monday im used to stting low in the celica so may have the mounts reduced like you did

Got spotted by one of my mates it's fair to say the springs did settle a little sits just right, standard seats are terrible though

Today I decided to take the starlet out for the first time in 3 years I took some photos before I set off to see if the springs would settle

Lots of parts been fitted recently,

Few pics of some old service history including the first service at 3000 miles the week before I bought it and some random documents

That's intresting I've posted a link up to the ones I bought

Drop on 35mm springs not drove anywhere yet just on private drive 500 yards reckon they will drop more? I'm thinking of going up to 50 profile when I have the speedlines refurbished do they give to car more roll though I've only ever ran 45s

Pretty much top to bottom on what needs doing mate first mechanical sorted then it's off to have arches sorted as has some rust coming in the usual places then cleaned up underneath and treated, then will need a full respray and refurb wheels aiming for this by end of the year then gonna enjoy it while getting OCD with cleaning the interior then move onto engine it's got 160k on so gonna source a low mileage engine and leave it with TD to sort I'm no good at stuff like that , I'm keeping this car forever mate as in my thread I bought it nearly 20years ago

Right few pics today life is hectic at minute waiting on some parts from toyota still after those glanza seats really struggling finding these, so since I can't get the back box on yet I painted it vht black pleased with the out come

springs and shocks fitted today as the old ones was really worn and ride was crashy rides much better now but looks so high in comparison il post some pics up next available chance really hope they will settle cars not drove more than a few miles tbf

4 kyb excel g shocks and kyb top mounts ordered, and new 35mm apex springs love how pikeys sr sits and I got them for just 85 quid couldn't say no at that price, so for shocks springs and top mounts came to 300 quid pics to follow hopefully fitted at the weekend and picking up a new door up tomorrow Thanks pal looking forward now waited a long time to start this project
