Starlet SR a twenty year daily

[burty]

Also the aircon wouldn't hold the gas culprit easily found absolutely shot to bits fortunately @Tombrooker97 offered a replacement on here for a very reasonable price as the part number is the same as a glanza condenser so thats on its way to me

Next up he's starting to make up the drivers side arch we are using a rust free passenger side wing and adapting it to match as its 70% correct but will still need some fabrication to get perfect but its a good base to start from

I came home with something though after talking for over 4 hours  grabbing some dinner and exchanging items I came home with this dales a great guy honest and genuine credit to this forum 

[burty]

I dropped it off at the garage for a quick mock up and I love it 

Overall its been a good few months shame the car wasn't ready for the summer but its been a blessing in disguise as I'd given up any hope of finding a lip

Great attention to detail mate, she'll be amazing when it's finished. A true step back in time for you and the SR.

Also as most will be aware the 98 spec rear bench fits different to the UK spec one to my surprise you can still get the jdm clips to secure it down from Toyota!

Thanks Sam and thanks for the great advice 😁

This week the bodyshop managed to split the lip from the bumper there was absolutely no way I was doing this for fear of snapping it 

Now it can go on my own silver bumper

The second hand ac condenser arrived yesterday other than slight oxidation and spiders webs it's in great condition and at less than the 3rd of the price of a new one I'm really happy sometimes common sense takes priority and at 300 plus vat for a new one was a no brainer 

Another part ticked off the ever growing list 

[Pikey009]

Yeah I got really lucky with the AC was the first SR looked at,

at first I just assumed they all had ac after a few months I realised they didn't thank you regarding  the offer of any other bits that's very kind
