thanks mate

right oh lads and lasses of course shes all done and here for you to see not bad looking for a 25 year old, bog standard 12 valve suggestions welcome

car all done today pics to come when photobucket speeds up

hi again being quite new to the starlet scene i don't know much about part availibility other than the small amount of stuff on ebay for the ep70. i am only looking for a few very small touches for personalisation as i want my car standard; stuff like clear repeater lenses, etc. i can't commit to any purchases at the moment, i just want to know what is avalible for the 70 series. thanks a million james

they really do, i had seen HID kits foor my car on ebay at about £60 and being only 16 can't afford to spend that much on a little thing like that. i only tested these bulbs for the first time 20 mins ago, i could have made my lights brighter still but at 99p per bulb i can not moan. true value for money

hi all went into my local branch of '99p stores' and in the car cleaning/diy section found myself a little bargain some blue xenon/ HID effect bulbs that fit the starlet (size H4) after fitting i thought that there must be a catch, but no they both worked and although they were not as blue as i had hoped, they are brighter than my old bulbs as they seem to produce a much less yellow light, as most older cars without modern tech do. just wanted to share my joy (simple things amuse simple minds!!!!)

hi all some more pictures to come over the course of the weekend, passanger side has now been sprayed and laquered. i have also installed some HID effect bulbs (bargains) so close to completion now, all it needs is the detailing and elbow grease. any sugestions on how to gently personalise the car, without spending mega bucks or modifying it??? james

i would love to come and i hate making excuses but i am on holiday that week i do want to come to a meet but it is most likely to happen when the car is running and i'm able to drive can't wait to meet you all honest sorry guys

thanks and will do

good idea but the cars not ready yet, sorn of the road, no insurance. i will be able to go on another one, just after april next year (when i can take my test and i have got the money for tax, insurance, mot)

loving the cars, would love to show off my starlet can't drive for 10 months here she is, soooo near completion thats why ive got no proper pics yet here are some pics that i have taken during resto

thanks comments like these make the blood, sweat, and tears i put into it worth while i also want some negatives and suggestions

is this event yearly as i can't come this year (not old enough, can't drive) july next year would be a yes

hi i am willing to put my car foward for the magasine yes it is a bog standard '85 ep70 but i am well proud of her she will be totally finnished and ready to photo next month i have two good photos of her now

was totally unable to get a perfect colour match, despite ringing toyota manufacturing, numerous body shops and browsing the web for days on end. the pic was taken on my dads phone and really shows up the difference, but its unnoticable in daylight shall not be sraying the bonnet, just coating it in colour restorer and wax, it will blend perfectly once i have used some colour restorer and re laquered it, will spray it if i have spare paint though

more updates to come over the next week it should be finnished in a month

some more pics of the car are on my thread

thanks for the comment mate, i had noticed a differance in the boot lid too but i know 150% that the car is not imported i have got recipts from when the car was repaired previously, will check it out (does not detract from the look of the car in my opinion)

hi mate welcome to the club try and check out mine it will be my first car (when its finnished) its totally standard on the ep70 forum i think the thread is called '85 starlet proper tidy up you will not be dissapointed with any starlet you buy

another little update for my starlet driving friends!!!!! the drivers side of the car had been keyed quite bad (probably some jelous git) and touched up even worse (previous owner not me), not only that there were tiny bits of rust appearing around bad repairs (nothing major though, still quite a good condition car) on saturday i set about spraying the whole drivers side of the car with my dad we sprayed the whole rear quarter panel, door and wing after a good amount of filling and shaping. laqured too! no photos yet as rain on sunday ruined my plans of some pictures and spraying the other s

i am sure i will eventually have a turbo, but the insurance will be high enough on mine when i pass my test! and thanks for the positives much appreciated

keep watchin i'll try to keep the standard up if anyone wants a starlet like this i have found a standard one on ebay, listed just this afternoon unfortunatly its beige but nothing a respray could not fix. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1986-TOYOTA-STARLET-...=item19bce18247

i am adding a few little touches some are standard fitiments abroad and some because i like 'em but nothing too much and thanks mate am working hard on the GCSE's at the moment

this ones going to be standard, bit cheesy i know but standard ones are more rare than modded ones, if i were to have another one (sure i will) it will be modded with the best of 'em
