    Mega life / luck fail, sort of explained in my for sale ads... Shortest explanation - family member suddenly became very, very ill, as I am the only member of the family that drives it was obvious I needed a 'normal' car to run them about in, chemotherapy and all that. So yeah then I was gonna take the starlet off the road and replace the very worn out engine etc whilst running about in the normal car (volvo estate I bought) Then said family member passed away, now have funeral etc to pay for and a volvo estate on borrowed money, so had to break the starlet to pay - very very very

    Sorry dude as mentioned in the first post the rest of the car has gone I had no storage. If it makes you feel any better, the passenger side wiper spindle had shattered anyway, the arm had about 1" of play in it!!! Urgh, breaks my heart seeing that haha.

    I still have enough NATO green and rollers to do another starlet, will only go in the bin...PM me if you want it! I actually quite liked your first look of stickerbomb / rising sun / lairy wheels. Its not like you are drawing a 'tasche on the mona lisa its a scrap car at scrap value it cannot depreciate and you are enjoying it...job done.

    Unfortunately due to a sudden and unexpected loss of a family member I have to break my n/a Starlet project, I now have the only car to run people about in and it needed to have more than 2 doors and 2 seats, so had to run out and buy a Volvo L I am mega gutted but hope these parts can help you guys out and help pay me back for the car I have just had to buy on borrowed money! All prices include postage but I am in the Bognor Regis / Chichester area if you want to collect anything. What is here is what I have, the shell and anything left has already been taken away, no other parts are avail

    Willl try welding mine and report back...had a saxo with the same prob that we welded and balanced...lasted a year (probably longer but the car was sold on) tiny bit of vibration but no worse than when it was flapping all over the place and broken!

    Yeah I am just attacking it with the wirey attachment on my drill and then thinners! Like a load of granny pubes! Grim. Best thing is don't have to be all careful and preserve the paint as it will all be black soon anyway inside

    Slow progress at the mo, family chaos, hospital trips and that! Managed to paint the door shuts etc, I have a spoiler being made at the moment out of some ally, designed it with cardboard templating and sticky tape so we'll see how that goes (potentially awesome but whats in my head and what will happen are 2 different things) and just trying to get all the sound deadening off the roof which is a shite job. This weekend the inside should get painted and then seats and steering wheel can go in. Have a few pics and 1 of my inspiration, my fave Kanjo styled civic (they don't all have

    ;) she's looking soooo nice, almost a shame to turbo it and lose that manifold!

    ^ what he said...its not done yet! Nowhere near.

    Thats looking down onto it...if that helps?

    Cheers I'll try and snap a pic of it but basically drilled a bolt sized hole through the front crossmember (all the way through as its box section) then opened the lower hole up until it was big enough to get a socket up into. Pushed the bolt up and through with a socket...spannered it up...boom.

    Sweet...could be a few of us then...got a mad may on the go so will try and set a date early June to suit everyone, weather should be good...happy days

    Admittedly not much...yet...not that the rusty filler has anything to do with kanjo styling anyway...but as a whole it is only maybe 40% done...it will get there and start to make sense! Interior...cage...window nets...splitter...all bubbling away...then some more power!

    Little bits of progress being made - a lot is the paint, bits that don't show on pics but bug the crap out of me - its only a roller job so there's still a lot of door shuts / nooks and crannies to do! Also fitted my tow strap, painted my wipers and scuttle panel, painted the front crossmember as it showed through the bumper and was still the original 6p2 green...and added some yellow flashes... Have some fresh off the jacks, dirty, not very well taken pictures

    I am MEGA happy with today's progress!!! My mate Dan came over in his 160 quid wonder which he was tinkering with...and I did my wheels, what a difference a bit of graft makes!!! See the pic above with the tank for a before shot... And now... Love it - and the start of my little yellow highlights!
  24. micrat
    Sick...I know me and my mate Dan would be up for...maybe tie it in with a general Jap thing...there's always something cool up there anyway...will get something rolling soon
