Mine will be one of them -
Managed to get a couple of little jobs done today. Wipers have been fitted to the car and the carpet pin was missing so a replacement has been installed. I had a go at polishing the front cross member as it looked a little dirty. The whole engine bay will need the same treatment but I'll be doing a bit at a time due to the time required. Happy with this so far tho Also had some new plates made as the ones which came with the car look awful. I managed to get another mint pair of optional surrounds as well so test fitted them

I love this car soooooo much! I need to buy one! -
I managed to find a set of the original Toyota fork adapters instead of using the slide on plastic adapters which came on the car. I flatted them back and applied some enamel paint. I've replaced all the wipers as they were looking a little sorry for themselves plus the rear one had a little screw and nut put through it? lol
-
There will be soon buddy. The wipers are done and I'm soon to fit the carpet pin
-
this is my inspiration guys
-
Removed the wiper arms as a little corrosion was starting to appear. Whilst removing the rear I found that the cap was damaged and glued on so I found a replacement

Thanks John

Managed to source these rare optional starlet alloys from Fiddlersport in Manchester last weekend. extremely nice guy and very informative about starlets They do require a refurb but once complete they will look amazing on the car!

appreciated Matt

thanks john. hoping to have it done for Jae so keep your eyes peeled
-
Had these parts sand blasted, treated and painted.
-
same as the gi buddy. Nice car but needs so much work to get to a standard where I'm happy with it
-
the car needs all the belts, pumps, filters and fluids replaced as there's no history which is a shame but will be worth it in the end
-
It all works other than the light so need to try and figure out what's up with it. Common fault apparently Matt?
-
The hub caps looked a little sorry for themselves so I flatted them back with a scotch pad and sprayed them up.
-
The plan is to have it ready for jae fingers crossed

Recently I purchased this mk3 Gi after seeing it for sale on eBay/ukso. I was looking to buy another car to use as a daily but also a car which the misses could use (which is cheap to insure) once she passes her driving test. This came up whilst randomly searching for cars and as soon as she set her eyes on it (being a fan of the mk3 gt) she said we have to buy it! So.... we did lol. The car has been owned by the same elderly lady since imported in 2000 before it was picked up from the family I purchased from which buy and sell cars. It is 100% original and has a couple of nice optional ext
