jonnygt Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Well, guess i am back yet again! ill get started...found this local ep91 close to me so decided to have a look, and guess what..bought it1 owner, 41k, CD model so has a good spec on it...all i want to do with this one is keep as oem as possible and very subtle that 'non starlet' people probably wont even notice 👊🏼 going to try to keep this one as clean as i can aswell with it being low miles and also try my very best to keep a hold of it this time! mods have started already also...first thing i done was remove the sidestrips and found nothing but a mess! found out its been in a minor bump before, and the left rear quarter has been painted and the lines under the sidestrip, have been smoothed in totally...so i have a smooth rear quarter, and also some dickhead stuck the sidestrip back on with blue silicone type stuff...im not a happy chap!!its getting priced up in a few days to get both sides smoothed and painted as i think its my best option...plus it does look pretty cool! ive also fitted a 98 spec steering wheel, genuine rare toms gearknob, 96spec doorcards (front /rear seats havnt turned up yet) , glanza cup holders, yellow headlight bulbs/sidelights, de-striped both sides, glanza front strut and new plates...got a few bits still to go aswell...waiting on a set of oem glanza wheels turning up, and also glanza rear bumper, glanza inner plastic arches, and the JDM Reflet front bumper.also will be fitting 40mm lowering springs, 13x7 jap size plate and debating on fitting the glanza rear number plate surround but getting the reverse lights totally smoothed out so its something different and dont have to fuck on with the wiring. later ill be wanting reflet rear light units, and fancy the rear windows getting a medium tint, but all in good time! Will get some pics up when i get some better pics as its a mess atm but will deffo post when more bits and things are fitted/painted Cant wait to make a proper start on this one, looking forward to it Thanks!!

jonnygt Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 update managed to find some of the darker interior rear plastics from a glanza, local too so picked them all up along with a glanza parcel shelf! and also the push in clips for the rear bench to clip in properly....all picked up 5mins away frommy house for the bargain price of £10 😱 over the moon with that! all i need now is the rear strut covers to match as you can see, they look a bit odd heres a few pictures 👍🏼need to transfer my old speakers from shelf and all the wires etc onto my new shelf, and also im gunna remove the 3rd brake light as i think it looks better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
