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?

Great looking sr I wouldn't worry to much about the rust comes with the age off the cars we have now. Any good body shop will replace the fill sills not that big of a deal if they are bad. 

I fitted Sr Alloys to my Gt I got the full set 5 alloys. 

 

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

You must have parked it in a good spot to be honest. I know the door has had it but the rest looks really clean to be fair.

Love an SR as most people know, they were never really rated back in the day but it’s great to see them getting the love nowadays. When I drive the black one around it gets positive attention. 
 

I do like the ambers on SR’s but on the silver cars I think the clears look cool. On black ones ambers are a must for me ha ha. Pleased you managed to get the Remus mate and if it rots in to dust like they all do then get a custom Box made and have the original tail pipe welded on like I did, original looks And decent sound while being strong. 
 

got to be a keeper after all these years, awesome that you’ve still got it 

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 used only on sunny days I'm under no illusion this will be a cheap project on bodywork undersealing  and paint etc must be mad be cheaper to buy a silver 3 door and and swap bits but then it wouldnt my Sr would it? I'm attached to the little thing after all these years

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!

Interior and bay smoothed and ready for installation also a happy doge

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
