Jones 799 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Here is my starlet i had off my sis about one year ago it looked nice but it had its down side here is some pics of it just after i had it off her.Some of the things that went wrong when i had it are. left side CV joint needed changing along with the berings. Had to get new Ignition leads the old ones were held on with tap an came out all the time. distribter was super glued on witch melted an got in side an stopped it working it needed changing. one of the piston had snaped so i got a new engine. Got it all sorted running well then a little somthing happend: Lucky for me it still worked so no more big pay outs but i took it off road to do some work to it and change its look a bit.Some time latter after getting a job i could start spending on it. staryed with removed the key hole on the bootthen i sorted out the dent on the left and took off the 16V badge Played about with the front bumper but looking 2 get a new one. The plate i got is 2 small didn't cheak the size when i ordered it also added the UKsatrlet sticker. an also started spraying the interior plastics matt blackget some pics soon.I i have things my way alot of mods 2 come Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 If you get that bonnet you need the lights and bumper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jones 799 Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 can the standed bumper be changed 2 fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 it can buy u will have to cut a lot of the vertical bits on the bumper and then it will look quite oddeither by clear headlights for it or go the whole hog mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Or you could do what I was going to doJust modify the Glanza bonnet to fit the headlights (using the same technique as they do when "bad boyin'" bonnets by welding plates shaped to fit the lights Wouldnt be able to do it to a Cruise bonnet those as its fiberglass Quote Link to post Share on other sites
