Starlet SR a twenty year daily


Recommended Posts

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 Joe wants to use as much metal as possible from Toyota stuff and I agree with him although the inner arches will just be fabricated out of what's available with extensive rust proofing

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.

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
