Thanks bud, nothing fancy, just trying to tie it all in together at the mo! Phil.

I'm honestly sitting looking at yours Rob thinking....would I poke enough holes in one to mount all my gauges and run the wires through????? interesting! Phil.

Update Picked up some replacement rear inner plastics and front inner door handles from Jay yesterday, I'm very fussy so had to find some in very good condition. Also picked up the lower arms to start into the refurb process. And tonight after work swapped over the door handles. Before: And after: It's all in the small details. Phil.

according to the eBay add, velcro is supplied with them. This has put me in the notion as I need something to mask the holes in my dash from the gauge wiring - it would mean putting alot of small holes in the mat, but I reckon thats ok for the cost of them. Phil.

Yeah the lads are right, these are not a Toyota item, pretty sure they originated in Oz as an aftermarket item. Only ever seen one in the flesh at JAE many years ago. Phil. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xtoyota+starlet+dash+mat.TRS0&_nkw=toyota+starlet+dash+mat&_sacat=0 Phil.

always fancied one of these! look well! Phil.

She has seen her fair share of changes over the years bud, and they probably reflect my own maturing process from my young 20s to my 30s now. Bit less OTT, bit more focused and purposeful with something of an end goal in mind! Update Utterly RAPID service from Id-Workz as always this week! Some new front arm bushes to compliment the anti lift kit and upcoming lower arm refresh. Phil.

HAH! Awesome thanks bud! Funny, I looked over the first couple of posts the other nite at home and it was weird looking at how she was back then, my folks' old house, and even the way I posted/typed back then, like an over enthusiastic kid lol! Thanks for taking the time to read bud! Hopefully there are a few more pages to come yet! Phil.

:thumbsup: Phil.

Beautiful buddy! That dip stick however needs some engine cleaner and a tooth brush taken to it! Only bit of dirt in the entire bay! Loving the photo updates dude keep them coming! Phil.

looks good bud! Phil.

thanks gents! Phil.

super smart purchases as always buddy! Phil.

Update Took the Speedlines for some cheap new tires on Friday. Their sole purpose is to not leak, allow the car to stand on the Speedlines, and pass MOT for years to come. And maybe serve to move her about to Jay's etc, essentially a garage wheel. Got them fitted and the OZ Titans removed yesterday. Next job is to clean the final wheel arch and to give the calipers a rub down and repaint. Phil.

looks clean bud, good to see another one in NI! Phil.

looks great bud! nice to see it being saved from the disasters that previous owners have done to it and restored with some TLC! Phil.

Nice parts there bud, rare to see a SARD hot pipe and even rarer to see a TOM'S intake! Keep up the great work! Phil.

Thanks bud! Definitely making progress thanks to Joel's help recently! Phil.

They shouldn't, no. SRs came with 16s but the TTE drop wasn't as low as 40mm. Phil.

I never bothered with the bracket on mine, she just got screwed to the handbrake plastic. Does the same job and screws can't be seen due to the seats. Phil.

I know I know, I suck, since moving out I dont have access to the big Nikon anymore but this new direct upload feature is super duper helpful! Kudos to Socks! @ Adzy - Yes bud I do, I ran the three at the driver's side A-pillar for years as an N/A and then started to build a collection of A'pexi EL1 series gauges, so the list is: Autogauge Volt gauge (works) Autogauge Oil Pressure (now redundant, to be replaced with something digital, either A/F or air inlet temp) Autogauge Techo w/ shift lift (works, although semi redundant due to SR dials, but shift light is cool) A'pexi Vacuum gauge (fully wired in) A'pexi Boost gauge (mechanical, fully wired in) A'pexi EGT (fully wired in) A'pexi Water Temperature (wired for power but not yet to sensor) A'pexi Oil Temperature (wired for power but not yet to sensor) A'pexi Oil Pressure (wired for power but not yet to sensor) So really all but one of them serves a purpose, and I'll replace that one with something that will serve a purpose. It's all about the monitoring of one's vital signs, early warning system and all that lol! Phil.

^^^I politely disagree, me and the mrs watched it last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Some properly funny bits. Still cross its gone, may force me into Netflix if they go there. Phil.

Ok, so let's try this direct uploading!! Bootlid wiper bung...at last!!!!! Outside in the fresh air!!! Tucked up back in with carpet down on floor! Recaros fitted!!! Start made at tidying up dash wiring holes This evening saw the massive advancement of a replacement bootlid trim And finally, the #GaragEP to-do list, slowly getting smaller!! Next up will be the radiator fan and tires for the Speedlines for MOT purposes. Phil.

Never heard of them if I'm honest lol! Phil.
