Starlet Solida Glanza rep build

[Starlet Rep Build]

Hi there guys,

I picked up my first starlet the other day for a steal price of £250!

- Paintwork is near perfect

- Bodywork is a good 8/10

- 125k miles

- Drives and runs like a dream

Plans for the car are to build a Glanza Rep

Big plans for this car so I will keep you all up to date!

Thanks Andy.

This is how the car started out..

A little update I purchased a full Glanza body kit.

All of the parts for the bodykit will need to be prepped for spraying as i'm keeping the car the same colour (Toyota blue 8L5)

[Starlet Rep Build]

Just a little update guys if anyone is actually interested lol

My alloys just arrived today and im over the moon with them, aswell as my livesports spoiler

I really like where this is going

Right guys a little update!

- Wheels are on (test fit) Rota Grid 16x8

- Livesports spoiler (test fit)

- All parts are back this week from the bodywork/spray garage

In need of a little help, I'm about to buy some coilovers but the min drop on them is 50mm but by the look of the gap in the arch that should be okay?

Here are some photos!

Any feedback would be great!

Andy.

That could be a little close lol. Nice to see another local car

I recon i could get away with it though? i don't think it will be sat too much in the arches, the front is mega high its just the rear what might rub a little

[Starlet__SR]

You could always set the dampers a little harder to minimise rubbing. Worst case scenario you'll need to do a bit of rolling. Have you got an adjustable pan hard rod?

[Starlet Rep Build]

Right guys I was going to do updates often but never got round to doing it! Here's the build near enough complete.. (feedback would be great)

Looking fresh man! Just flicked through posts above ... did you buy the coilovers in the end?

My advice to finish this off .... more lows 😂

Thats killer man looks great!

That will rub. I had 16x8 with d2 coukovers and rubbed even with panhard. Will need to do something with the arches

[Starlet Rep Build]

Thanks for the Advice and feedback guys, I ended up getting lowering springs and shocks (60mm) all round, perfect drop in my opinion.

If there's any rubbing I will just get the arches rolled no big deal.

Decided not to sell the car and keep it! Im now using a glanza front end (Bonnet/Bumper).

- Waiting on headlights

I will be posting regular updates from the 31st

Thanks Andy

thanks mate, i have changed the wheels up now! miles too big to run without more modification the the car

[Calum122]

Oh ryt, shame they suited it really well. But better to stay on the practical side of things.

[Starlet Rep Build]

Just to keep everyone updated..I will be posting everything thats happened in this build over the past few months as i have been mega sloppy with updates (and the cars come a long way from the last update)
