  1. Looks flippin MINT dude.

    Love that colour, and love the retro look. Would look nice modified but to be honest like you say you want to keep standard, for a first car you can't go wrong with this. Looks awsome standard anyway to be honest so keep it as is. :thumbsup:

    Keep the updates coming :thumbsup:

    thanks mate

    the colour is standard too, i was lucky to get such a nice looking starlet in a striking colour.

  2. hi all

    i am a bit of a newbie on here, just bought this standard 1985 ep70 boxy starlet with 40,000 on the clock one (old lady) owner from new.

    bit of a classic, a true old school beast. :thumbsup:

    bought to strip out and clean, when i got it home the interioir did not need touching, but striped it anyway!!!

    the exterior was a bit naff and tatty but there was no need for welding (all done) :thumbsup:

    this is the day after i got it, rear bumper already removed!!

    grill removed staraight away

    centre caps needed loads of work (yes i am keeping it standard(for now!!!!))

    all of the interior out and properly cleaned

    all the interior went back in the same day (was clean anyway, looks brand new :rolleyes: )

    engine bay was a bit of a state (in dire need of cleaning)

    please comment (good or bad i'm not offended)

    p.s. am keeping it standard while i own it, don't suggest other wise, standard ones are getting hard to find and quite rare..... i may consider selling her if i get a good enough offer£££!!!£££!!!

  3. just bought me a very clean ep70

    can't drive yet so its just a tinker toy, but its a 1985 model, 2dr , just 40,000 miles on the clock!!!!!!

    am looking to find some other starlet enthusiasts, to share the few things i know and find out some stuff,

    i would also love to take the car to some meets and show it off.

    in short, hi!
