I pulled the old cassette player out as im looking to get a stock Toyota cd player for the car and found this!.....a new loom is required I think lol.

I forgot I got this with the car. starlet owners manual

has some optional extras advertised in the back

I know you are my rear bumper was driving you crazy at jae haha

Looking good mate its all in the little details

Haha yeah nick it was doing my head in lol

Thanks buddy. Im mad about the little details. I see it as once it's done you won't have to worry about it

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

Thanks amjad

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

ttt

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

Will be a stunner i'm sure

John

Thanks John

thanks guys. its so good to here such positive feedback already. hopefully it will reach all your expectations once complete and i'm sure it will remain a part of the ukso family for a very long time

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!

Great work as always Sam. The attention to detail you have is fantastic

appreciated Matt

Gunna be a one to watch this!! I want to see it at shows very soon!

N/A ftw ;)

Love it

thanks john. hoping to have it done for Jae so keep your eyes peeled

Had these parts sand blasted, treated and painted.

Same with the Cynos matey, bit of a rare find but it needs alot of TLC to get it where I want it. And the autobox needs to go lol.

Day

same as the gi buddy. Nice car but needs so much work to get to a standard where I'm happy with it

Looking forward to the progress on this. Was tempted to buy this rather than the Cynos.

Day

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 extras such as wind deflectors, 5 piece mat set and a parking pole. The body work is very straight but it has suffered a couple of knocks to the front and rear bumpers as well as a scuff on the passenger door. (Nothing a little paint won't cure)

the interior is mint considering the age but could do with a good clean. Other than the damage, the paintwork is good but I don't think it was cleaned often as it's a little tacky.

As some of you may know I'm quite meticulous about my cars so all the worn, corroded or damaged items are being fixed or replaced.
The overall plan for the car is to keep it 100% oem with a few optional extras
