This was so helpful. Thank you. =) Friends barn =p haha

Hi there, as title says, i'm going to give it a shot at painting the whole car. Just looking for some advice from people that have done it before, for example items used, prep time and how many coats etc. Also, could i get some suggestions for colours as i have no idea =( haha Doing this as a few bits of rust is coming through and the exterior is just what lets it down. I have a Starlet for spares that i am going to use parts off like the rear bumper and bonnet. Cheers for the help. Look forward to seeing some nice paint jobs =)

Thanks Rob, that is very handy. I'm not sure what to do really. I don't mean to be sexist here but my girlfriends driving aint the best and they would likely just get curbed so not much point in painting them. Got someone interested with the wheels. They are in middlesbrough though =/

The mudflaps that are on it now is just a cheap set off ebay. Can't find them on eBay. Might be worth something now. haha. Keeping them on it cause it looks smart.

No where up here to get that done. Anyway, i'm just going to try and sell them. My mum and girlfriend are currently driving my car so i took them off before all the kerbing commenced! Not sure if anyone on the club is interested?

Oh god so this could be a nightmare? Has anyone done it on the club? Would be handy to have a guide.

There are no marks on them at all so shouldn't be too bad. I would swap but i'm not sure if anyone has spares? Cheers

Hey. Got a set of black speedlines that i want to paint back to the original colour. Very sick of black. Haha. Just wondering what i should use and steps that i should take? Also, if anyone knows the correct colour for the original wheel? Never painted wheels before and would just like a few pointers as i see a lot of you have done a damn good job of painting yours. Cheers

Right ok thanks for that ste. Will have it home sometime next week. Get it stripped of everything i need then try and come 1st at the autotesting haha. 1st place at the moment seems to be a 1.5 diesel citreon ax so......

Hi there. Just bought another Starlet for £80. Engine is sound but the alternator belt has snapped so need to get one of them. I've bought it for spares for my other starlet to get everything working. Then i will be autotesting it, just a small local time trial thing. The advice i need is how hard would it be to swap over the wiring harnesses? For example my cd player doesn't work and clock because the wiring is too badly damaged. Also, any pointers with this task. Help would be appreciated. Cheers

Not too shabby

Ok thanks for all the advice guys. Yeah wasn't planning on driving it with one bolt, would be a disaster. Going to have another go at it on Monday. The bolts were 12mm but rounded off so had to file it down to 11mm. Will need a genuine bolt from Toyota though i'd think.

Hi there. Was trying to replace the front pads the day. Got the drivers side changed, eventually. But the passenger side is still left. When i was trying to un-bolt the caliper, the bolt has snapped. If i un-do the other bolt (when i can, cause it's rusted on) will the caliper just slide off? Cheers

Much better sound here

Gold ones? They look smart as. Williams here in Orkney, trashed though.
