burty

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

dont suppose you have any seats do you

anyone ? willing to collect

22 years old stood for 3 years 155k on clock........ Straight through MOT over moon now the fun really starts on this project first on list shocks, springs tte backbox fitted and new door

nice thread this any updates

Love it looks so much more retro MOT Tuesday inner arch has gone won't pass but gives me a list of parts to buy in prep for the retest

More parts thanks to stevie 82

Looking for a set of front seats as the na ones arnt the best standard glanza ones will be more than good enough has anyone got some or know anyone willing to sell can't find anything on ebay

What a absolute legend given me fantastic advice, then to top it off sent some Amber indicators and handbrake cables and didn't take a penny for them

Seeing things like this makes me wonder why I I bother with building trade good work mate

I've had loads of help myself off other members it what it all about

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
