Lee's White Starlet S - Winter Daily!


Recommended Posts

Well as some of you know I had a red sportif as my first car, I absolutely loved it but sadly the rot got into it so I stripped all the parts off it and sold them. Most of them went to a mates H22 starlet project. I currently have an Celica ST182 and a Mazda mx5 eunos so I wanted another car to keep the winter weather off both of them and so I could do a bit of work to them. A mate of a mate mentioned he was going to be selling his white N/A soon so I went and looked at it and said id have it! 74K and a years MOT and already has a corolla manifold and a paseo intake pipe fitted.

The body work needs a little bit of TLC but overall its not bad. As soon as I got it i decided to put all the parts on I had lying around from my old sportif. Coilovers, Enkei wheels, Suede door cards, Upgraded dash speakers, strut brace, panel filter, USDM Sidelights, OEM Wind deflectors, OEM Tailored floor mats, Cupra splitter. I then got import size number plates, yaris rear wiper, new tailgate decals and new wipers fitted. The car is really solid! where my other one was rotten this one is completely solid! The plans are just to tidy the body work up a bit and daily it now :) 

Here's some pics of the progress...

Sad to see the red N/A gone but this looks good, my daily has YOP on the reg too!

if ever you decide to sell the enkei wheels let me know as I have wanted a set for my track car for ages

Yeah the red one was pretty sick! I do miss it a lot :sad: Thanks mate! Yeah the YOP on the number plate always reminds me of the YOP drinking yogurt advert :D ... youtube it!

Yeah will do mate! I originally got them for my eunos but they suit this better and are light!

So I've got a few more bits done to the old starlet! Firstly i fitted my usdm style side lights for the indicators and I fitted some oem wind deflectors I had lying around. I then bought some cup holders cheap from 1990timeismoney off of the forum and got them fitted. I then decided to take the rear trim out in preparation for getting an oem parcel shelf so i un-taped the plug from the loom and drilled a hole in the rear trim to pull it through so its just ready to plug in.I also waxed the inner of the sill from inside the quarter panel whilst i was in there. I've also given the car a full service oil, plugs, filter etc.and shes running sweet! I've changed my heater control bulbs back to the proper oem colour too! Not the most interesting updates but they're updates.

I've also got an oem spoiler I might put on... opinions on it please.:thumbsup:

Yeah will do mate! I originally got them for my eunos but they suit this better and are light!  

Had a look for the advert on Youtube, forgot how good it was!

They do really suit it, I've got some in 14" on mine but the 15" looks alot better!
