Well its about time i started my own build thread for a car. Picked up this little beauty at auction for £500 (plus 100 for fees) Was absolutley buzzing when i heard id got it for that price. Jus a little over 80k on the clock, dealer service history till about 2005 then independant services with receipts bulging out of a folder. It had been taken care of so well, kinda :/ Mechanically the car is spot on, just needs an alternator changing but im so tight and lazy i havent done it yet! Then i started looking closely with my not so professional panel beaters eye, at various points in its life its had paintwork on most of the panels therefore been left with nasty masking edges in places, but thats only cuz im anal and its had a door skin on the drivers side which is starting to rot through. But im totally loving the starlet experience, never fails to light my face up when i launch it into a roundabout. Anyway, The day i picked her up, with my mates 182 I soon inherited a Vauxhall Astra front splitter, and borrowed a couple of cans of toyotas finest 1eo from our aerosol cupboard and larried up my wheels, which look fantastic. The pics really dont do the colour of the wheels justice, theyre a real dark grey with a dark green sparkle to them in the sunlight. Shame summer has just ended so i cant really enjoy cleaning them Oh and id like to keep the JDM authenticity of it so ill be keeping the orange indicators, but there will be small cheap mods coming in the next few months. Hope yous all like
