Ok, some more progress. Brakes assembled and ready to go in! Old manky brakes. No brakes. Newer not so manky brakes. Work in progress. So I thought the new pads were too thick as the car was really hard to move. Turned out that the offset on new discs was different to the old ones and that's why the discs caught on the calipers. Put in some thick washers under the discs to clear the caliper, should be only a temporary fix to get the car inspected. But now it works! Assembled the front. Alpha horns show quite nice behind t

Thanks mate! Yeah EP91 brakes bolt right on. You just have to space the discs out 1-2 mm with big washers or a spacer plate for them to clear the calipers. That's the only thing that has to be done for them to fit. I'll add pics in a minute. I use standard EP91 discs, don't know the size. Thanks fella! Cheers! Nice to hear it caught your attention. Thank you! More coming in a minute.

Ok, some more pics and stories. So as said earlier, I painted the B pillar satin black with rattle can paint. I also made some wing mirror delete plates out of plexi glass and glued them on. Came out pretty nice. Looks clean and sweet now. Also put on TEQ-stickers to rear windows on both sides. Interior is almost ready, just need to sort out the door cards and attach the tacho meter! Also got the fenders painted and got my galant front lip finally. Need to be trimmed though, as it's too wide. The painted wings on! So happy. My spare set of mitsu

Thanks! Nice to hear it's caught attention on instagram. You totally should finish yours! Cheers mate! Your P7 is totally on another level. I'd love to turbo this at some point, but we'll see how this goes on.

Yo can buy those rings. They can also change colours and you can buy a set with strobe function too. http://www.oraclelights.com/automotive-lighting-products/ORACLE-Halo-Kits

Thanks man! Yeah these really are good seats. I've always thought that bucket seats are not good to sit long times but I've driven hundreds of kilometers with these and they feel awesome.

Thanks! Yeah not so rusty anymore. Noticed I'm not able to edit the first post anymore so can't edit the title. The new name could be Mintlet. Drop by some day when you have time, we should check the engine a bit. Probably going to get the front body panels painted this week so it's a big step in finishing this. Thanks! A lot of progress achieved if compared to the first pic. Thanks man! Yeah these are cool cars and I love the simplicity. Your Charade is a cool little thing too, wanted one at some point of my life but then came the Starlet fever and here I go.

Got a set of pics for my self from the same photoshoot from last spring. Loads of pics, sorry for spamming. All photos by Joni Paaso.

Thanks guys, glad you like it! Got my fenders sanded down ant they're ready for paint. Also painted the B-pillars yesterday and some other stuff. I'll update more soon when I get more done.

Okay, let's break the silence. Alot has been happening during the last few weeks, so let's put in some pictures. So, here we go. The exhaust was just horrible. You can see how the back box sat before. This pic above shows how the exhaust was hanging like 5cm off the bottom of the car, and was held together only with 11 clips in total. Had to sort this piece of shit out. Here are the most of the pieces of the former exhaust. It was totally crap I must say, but with some help from two of my friends we reused almost all this stuff. Not all the clips though.

That's awesome dude! Looks really good!

Nice! What did you use for the side skirt extensions?

Thanks! Yeah you don't see these too much anywhere I guess. Usually they are actually in better condition than this, but the harsh condition on this one makes it easy for me to do almost anything to this one as I don't feel like I'm ruining anything. Thanks! Update coming up right now. ;) So, the car got taped up for painting on friday and my friend painted the car during the weekend. The interior was painted on saturday and the rest of the body on sunday. I let the paint dry for a few days and got to work on her next time yesterday. Took off the maski

I bought one for 40€ and it was an expensive place. One corner has a small piece missing though, but it doesn't matter too much.

Yeah I just want to try to get it on road so I can drive it before the winter. Also painting it with Temalac, which is some industrial paint. Chose that as it's durable and you can get that in RAL colours. This is going to be "zero fucks given" type of car.

Yeah if I was more serious with this project and didn't have my Glanza and had the time and space to strip this completely to sandblast and weld this properly, I would. But now I just want to get it look neater and slam the hell out of it. Yeah we need a Starlet meet for sure! Yeah it's a bit rough example. I don't even want to try to make it look like new again. It's been through life and it can show. We all have our scars! The exhaust on that is a true diy job. It doesn't sit well from anywhere, it blows and it's held in one piece only with clips. I have to sort the exhaust aft

As some people who follow me at instagram might have seen, I finally bought an EP70. I've been wanting one for a long time already, but after seeing Jonny Moberg's stanced silver EP70 I knew I just had to have one at some point. So this july I found a really cheap one for sale. It was probably one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen and It wasn't in really good shape either. Price tag had been 400€ at first, the seller then lowered it to 200€ and I drove it home for 140€. It had been "built" to be a car navigation car, so it had stickers, loud exhaust pipe, mk1 MR2 seats and a set o

I'll do it when I get some more things done so that I have more to tell. Thanks for that, I didn't know what was the difference between EP70 and EP71.

Very oldie, but oh so goldie.

Thought I'd share a few videos from American Car Show / Tuning Car Show 2016 in Helsinki that have clips of my car too.

Thanks mate! That tsurikawa ring was taken off right after those pics. It's not for towing, it's just a JDM thing that cool guys in japan stole from the subway trains to show off. Spoiler is mocked up out of cardboard now. Just have to make it some day. I bought an EP71 and it's been taking all my time at the garage for two weeks now. I'll post a build thread of it later too. ;P

Latest issue of Finnish tuning magazine Tuning.fi featured my Glanza. Pretty excited about it!

I received my brand new Speedvision Gen 3 CT9 hybrid last week. Going to put it on asap, maybe next week. I'll tell you how it feels then. I had a hybrid before but it spitted the oils out, so had to swap back to stock ct9b. The old hybrid might have been a cheap ebay one, not sure as got it second hand.
