Great read this thread what a difference those wheels made will be keeping my eye on this if a wasn't doing my Sr I would be getting myself a nice 96 spec

Alright chaps my drivers seat belt has a little fraying and it's probably gonna get flagged up on test and can't find any on ebay do corollas of the same era fit? Or does anyone have one on a breaker car on here?

Now that is stunning mate there's a bit on arch's aswell rather is be done right getting the decals becoming a pain aswell il prob get a spare set made up

Place called JR Classics in Doncaster fantastic cost 600 quid but you get what you pay for they have cars come from all over country mate they will be doing the respray aswell

least it turned up !! shocking courier

trying to do a build and family life is hard work im finding that one out even nipping out for parts loses an evening and mines a 45 min drive away ,yours will all come good though im sure

it is mate ive got a rust free glanza door in silver to pick up this week just dampened spirits with the rotten sills near arches, it will booked in to have the surface rust cleaned off the underside then rust converter followed by zinc primer then underseal at a specialist they will also be cutting arches and re welding them i took my celica there il attach some pics im going balls out with the starlet saved up 5 years for this my mrs thinks im bonkers but understands shes fond of the car aswell she drives a yaris SR but hates the celica

Thanks for the kind words you set the bar for SR's to be fair cracking idea with the backbox aswell gutted about the rust near the sills amazed as rest of the car is really clean for 22 years old

Has anyone else had issues with corossion? remember it's got 155k on and has been used daily except last few years she's not been sat in a heated garage, side the rust is on

Looks like I've found a bit of rot to the rear of the sill near the jacking point it's pretty soft wel see how bad it is at mot time as could be some more areas I can't get to aswell feeling a little nervous now fingers crossed its not rotten all underneath I can't really see anything else other than surface rust , I'm aware it had some rust on the rear arches anyway worse case il have to have it patched then when it goes to the bodyshop il have it repaired properly with a complete sill if you can buy them I'm only doing this once so it's got to be right as it's getting garaged after and use

Won't be getting fitted just yet fortunately I have some patience still on the hunt for a tte lip a replica is all I'm after tbh

And

Also

So today I sprayed the wiper arms

il be following this as i know how much effort you put into the SR you set the benchmark to other SR owners on that build

The more i look at this thread the more i feel the need to do the same

today was a good day for parts really cant wait to get this started now cant believe i got one il post up over weekend!

Wow love it

Few more parts arrived nothing fancy just bulbs wiper blades in prep for MOT black spray for wiper arms proper updates with pics after the weekend ..................still searching for that tte lip

Mine 100% came with this and I've seen others with it aswell my Sr was a 1 owner with 3000 miles so I'd be very suprised if it was not that one the manual is in the book pack I'm sure of it

The silver Sony one?

moved away now but most weekends il down sorting car out still class it as home👍

just noticed you live in sheffield thats where im from and the starlet is currently kept

Paid my money as a member the info stevie82 pikey009 and the help akyakapotter and morgey have given me so far is well worth the 2 quid thanks lads pics to follow soon as parts are arriving also dug out pictures of the car the day i picked her up 3000 miles fresh got to scan them though no camera phones back then also found the pre inspection delivery history didnt even know i had it
