Allyboy81 Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Hello all, thought I would start my progress build so far. Bought this solida s reg for 150 quid (only 53k and a good solid base to start) with intentions of making it resemble my first sr I had 13 years ago. First thing I done was get rid of the moss and trees growing out of everywhere then fit clear side repeaters and clear corners. Edited October 23, 2017 by Allyboy81 Quote
Allyboy81 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Posted October 23, 2017 After fixing exhaust that required a full system I was on the hunt for a tte backbox. At the time I couldn't find one so a modified tail piece was fitted for now Quote
Allyboy81 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Couldn't find used tte springs anywhere so I went for 40mm springs from a mob called Kilen Found myself a set of 5 speedlines from Driffie! Cheers mate. Got the wheels refurbed. Slightly different colour than the original ones but hey ho. Edited October 23, 2017 by Allyboy81 Quote
Allyboy81 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Posted October 23, 2017 fitted the wheels and instantly thought too low at front but went with it for the time being. Quote
Allyboy81 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) I got hold of a tte spoiler and took of the original one which left 4 holes that needed to be welded and filled. At the time I couldn't get a tailgate and spoiler together hence the reason for the repair work. Then Got the tailgate painted And then got the spoiler on! Cheers Dale sr!!

Allyboy81 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Then a delivery of some much needed parts! All wired up and fitted! Edited October 23, 2017 by Allyboy81 Quote
Allyboy81 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Posted October 23, 2017 Got some fresh new decals from morgey thanks mate. Fitted the rear one and have still to fit the side ones. Will update when they're done. Quote
Allyboy81 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Posted October 23, 2017 Also got hold of a Yaris tte back box which has this hanger welded on the side. I got it off a lad who got it off a lad on here I believe?? Anyway does anybody know if this would be a straight fit onto centre section (apart from cutting and sleveing it) any help would be appreciated Quote
JDM_MARK Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Looks really clean i see your going for a sr rep. I also have the yaris backbox on my sr. Quote

JDM_MARK Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Not at the moment next time I get a chance I will get some. Quote
Allyboy81 Posted October 25, 2017 Author Posted October 25, 2017 Just a little update, fitted the sr decals today! definitely taking shape! also any comments on the ride height does it look close to sr height? I changed the front springs to tein ones as the others made it too low at the front! Thanks Quote
Allyboy81 Posted November 5, 2017 Author Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) Got round to fitting my new fuel filter, air filter and freshly painted glanza strut brace. Next step is to polish inlet manifold and rocker cover. Edited November 5, 2017 by Allyboy81 Quote
