MR-2 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) 1987 Finnish version EP70. Almost original, only exhaust silencer was changed from Ford.- Basic model without anything, lightest version, so under 750kg - 1.0L 1E engine with 4spd gearbox- 142 000km driven- Small cosmetic failures, but original painting 90%- Little bigger rust in front bended valance and front floors, mainly in good shape.- Payed 900 2014, prevoius owner was my friend who had it one year.First picture when she "granny" arrived to me, so maybe I think this is some sort of old lady I add more pictures and text later, but everybody can imagine how this gona go or end some day. I have had bigger plans for Starlet for over 15years, when I had one EP70. Transformation has begun to sleeper grannylook godzilla streetcar, one more oldschool fan. Thanks to everybody this site, good information and conversation, it has been a joy to read all treads and projects, haven't got time to comment :/ Edited December 17, 2016 by MR-2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MR-2 Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 My friend didn't believ what light car means, said to him, try lift Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DamianGemmell Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I had a starlet just like that when I was still in school and my friends used pick up the back like that and move it to a different parking space when I wasn't around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Extra advantage with small bumpers, easy to lift, no need for jacking But rear is little bit too light sometimes, too heavy front :/ Last mot was annoying, failed shocktest with empty boot and too much tyre pressure. And in wintertime not much grip, dangerous times.Arb is so must this summer and better coilovers, now has been with poor VW. Very hard to move weight from front to back, when adding 16V turbo engine with extras, hard times coming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 I'm working long days, so I add some poor pictures from phone. Only few hundred pictures and I put randdom order what I have done or under project.First mission was do something to klonking steering, it only got 150tkm on, poor quality :/ Couldn't find any aftermarket first joint parts, so I bought full EP91 steering for 50, about 100tkm behind. Very good condition, only very dirty. I was hoping that joint will fit, otherwise I change full steering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Joint is different number EP70 vs EP9, but what a hell, Starlet both Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MR-2 Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) There it is, good hint for P7 owners if joint is broken. I'm gona add cover later if possible, good idea from Toyota. I'm sure Corolla's etc. fit also Edited April 6, 2016 by MR-2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 One day I bought spare EP70 for 120€, so rare car here also that every part is needed some day. Basic 1E engine and lot of rust. Loaned my grey Starlet plates and radiator to drive it 100km in wintertime, now blower at all and only handbrake was working, so scary drive, idiot me :/ http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah106/misterkaksi/Toyota%20Starlet/10881666_10152681057853929_4993836438003464161_n_zpsubfwocaa.jpg~original http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah106/misterkaksi/Toyota%20Starlet/10403091_10152681058123929_5602857088931969865_n_zpsid0wgpy2.jpg~original http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah106/misterkaksi/Toyota%20Starlet/2015%20kevaumlt%20466_zpsyulvnhti.jpg~original Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 It was time to think future for injection engine, so I took old rusty fueltank away. Wanted to see dimention and maybe test other tanks from other cars. Don't wanna tank inside car, best place is original and still can carry things in my boot. Oem turbo/diesel tanks are not choice, about 700 new one and Finland don't have any used on market. This car is my exam spare car, earlier took rear axle away for modification.
