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

The silver Sony one?

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

Parts arriving and getting bigger for my sr by the day ,i know i have no chance of getting a genuine tte lip but are there any copies around or can anyone point me in the right direction of where i may get a replica one ?

i had those on my ep3 they fit fine although sometimes they stopped the window going up and it took 2 attempt's very rare that happend

 white on white is a great combo

Bit of progress, 4 new 195/45 tyres on nothing special as all four was cracked to pieces in prep for mot and I'm gonna be sending here there and everywhere for paint bodywork etc il get decent rubber when the speedlines get refurbished

Saying that though, they're nimble enough to let you take corners at a good enough speed, the SR was bundles of fun going round cadwell on T1R's.

Any photos? 

Love a gt makes me feel all nostalgic from the old days when they started getting very popular, getting rare now can't remember last time I saw one

Can see the hard work going into this 👍

Ive started my project and just wondered where everyone gets parts from new and used? are there any specific starlet/glanza breakers around or is it the usual ebay

doesnt seem as much available as there once was

Drop him a DM mate

I dropped him a message it was him who I got em off in 2015 il wait his reply matey

Couldnt agree more, for now I'm aiming for all show no go though some lovely twistys out where I live to have plenty of fun it's a feel fast car you think you are flying when in reality your not going fast at all

this is fantastic mate, good luck with putting her back on the road, and even with the bits that are an issue, she still looks to be in great condition.

Thanks mate main aim is to get her running and tidy body work if that means a respray so be it! not many people can say they still own the first car they bought 20 years ago il never sell it long term plans are turbo charging but thats way down the list for now (try insuring and buying a glanza in 1999 at 20 was never gonna happen ) il be needing lots of advice as parts have always been hard to get hold of as I recall? Thanks for the kind words

Amazing story, glad your restoring it, clunking on full lock will be cv joint in the driveshaft, would be easier to just change the driveshaft from a breaker, I’ve got some amber lenses dm me a postal address and I’ll fire them over to u foc of course. Any other questions just ask always happy to help a fellow 1ao sr owner 😀

Nice one cheers for kind offer I really can't decide what looks better clear or Amber 🤔 mechanically doing nothing till MOT then do it all at once insurance starts end of next month giving me time to sort it discs may want replacing its been stood so long I can't tell till its moving properly
