Cheers darraghmh

At the time it just annoyed me and I lost all hope but now I've got another car I don't need the starlet so I can take my time with it

I might need a hand Lewis in a few days when I drop the engine out

Just been down tonight to sort out a few things

I had a new sill fitted a few months ago so i lost all the mounting holes for the side skirt brackets so I made that priority tonight as I want to get sprayed soon

So I've been abit busy lately working flat out to try and save some cash for a forged engine so I'll be looking for a forged engine in the next couple of months of so

I've just been doing little bits and pieces on the car to make sure she is solid and a good candidated for big power and she seems all good

I noticed the rear axle was looking abit shabby and the rear discs so I took it of stripped it right down gave it a paint and replaced the old bushes with some new powerflex ones

Next job on my list is to finish of putting the rear axle back together with new discs pads and bearings and handbrake cables

Then move onto the front clean up wish bones new bushes new brakes

Not sure what brakes to go for on the front just using standard on rear as rear doesn't do a lot of braking

Keep up all the good work mate! It's nice to see the final transformation when it happens. Just looked back at the photos of mine when I bought it and was surprised how much different it is myself lol. Hopefully you'll look back soon enough and think the same :).
