How did I miss this thread! That looks class bud, and that rear window louver is fantastic!

Enjoying the updates, wheels look great!

Phil.

Thank you

Ebay

New, I paid $90 U.S. With fan and cap.

Used cant be much cheaper. And you might be buying someone's leaking unit.

The KP60 starlet like above is 4 x114 but the EP70 , EP82 & EP91 are all 4 x100. Its a pain because there's so many nice 4 x114 wheels. 

Yep.

This is rear wheel drive 

The wheels on the car right now are American Racing brand. Also from the 80s. In 13"

But they are the "oval hole" type. Meaning they fit both the 4x100 and 4x114.3......Just neither very well!

Unless you install them carefully and tighten each lug in increments, you'll end up going down the road with the steering wheel wobbling.

Too bad because I've found 245/50/13 and 205/50/13 tires that fit great.

I'm just tired of the hassle. So I'm looking for something in a 50 or even 45 profile 14" tire now for the Hyashis.

I also just found these Hyashi 14" wheels I'll be restoring and installing soon

I just found/bought these 4x114.3 Hyashi street 2 14" wheels to put on my Starlet.

I've never seen another set.

How rare are they?

This is the front

I also got these 70s style JDM mirrors

This shows the rear JDM bumper (not yet fitted correctly)

And my Supertrapp muffler.

I'm filling in the valance hole with mesh.

I've been busy getting rid if some of the U.S. parts.

This is with the new JDM bumper and euro spec lights.

This is an Aluminum, riveted unit with two prop rods for lifting to clean the window.

Well made.

But it makes the hatch just heavy enough that the single gas strut used to hold the hatch open....no longer will.

I saw one on Ebay.

The seller said it was "The only one in the U.S." $800

I found this one 40 miles away for $75. Just needed a paintjob.

It's ok

But I'm still looking for a correct JDM unit.

The bumpers are on

The factory rear windshield wiper motor and arm are for sale.

I also just located, painted and installed a rare "SHADOW"rear louver

It IS just like a diving platform on the back of a boat.

More photos once it's all assembled and done.

Nice. Yes.

Perfect fit? No.

But a whole lot cleaner than the U.S. spec gigantic, plastic units.

Yes and no.

The KP61 steel, JDM type bumper is all but impossible to find here in the U.S.

So out of desperation I ordered a new KE70 Corolla bumper for the rear. I had already sourced rear brackets from England (Ebay)for a KP60.

The KE bumper needed to be cut 1" on each end and all of the original holes filled/welded closed.

Then the bumper was shot in flat black urethane paint after the new mounting holes had been drilled.

Then the KE70 bumper end caps where cut and shaped the contour of the KP61. Built up with flexible epoxy and painted crinkle black.

I'm attempting more pictures.

I got a few more to load, thankfully.
