My bf knows a lot of stuff especially under the bonnet, he knows what to look for. I should have some pics up tomorrow of the car if i like it. Gonna be picking up alloys tomorrow aswel so should be a good day lol.@ep91face sorry it doesnt come with the exhaust, would of been happy to sell it to ya though.My bf is already planning to nic the speedlines lol.Anyway shoud have bout £700 to play with after i have the full kit and wheels. I need to get some headlights and my bf can get me some spax srpings (40mm) and a induction kit. Has anyone got any ideas of which i should spend my £500 on? Bearing in mind im planning on getting the exterier looking nice rather than the engine.comments welcome as always.thankschanelle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chanelle1234 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hey everyoneRight just been to see my new sr, i will be picking it up on friday. Paid £1500 for it opinions welcome. Here are the pics below.As you can see there is a scratch on the sill which will be covered by the skirtsSlight dent but that will easily be removed and the slight scrape which eventually will get sprayed as the rear bumper does to.Yeah i know it looks really dirty there but only because the bloke took the pictures at 8pm, it will still need a good clean though.unfortunatly doesnt come with the exhaust as he needed a new one but i have my trd one anyway.anyway comments welcome.thankschanelle Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is hard trying to sell my car aswell as i need my car for work and someone offered me a great price for it and couldnt refuse. i could maby make a lil money back on selling a few of the bits bootlid etc. Completely standard, apart from no tte backbox. there is loads of history and has been well looked after. I fell in love when i saw it lol.chanelle Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chanelle1234 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 how much did you want for the wheels enzo just outta curiousity?chanelle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Congrats on finally getting your SR Chanelle She looks a nice base to work from and nice to hear she has lots of history. The price is what you are willing to pay so don't feel bad, my red na cost £2200 with 24k, 3 years back.Are you after Glanza headlights? If so toyota is the best place for them, a little over £100 for a brand new set. Don't go second hand for headlights.They won't come with headlight adjusters (screws for adjusting the beam angle) so you use the ones that are on the SR headlights (no point in buying new unless broke)June's going to be a busy month for you both! Keep it up.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keep it up.JozThanks Joz.Personally i think i got a good deal as the sr's are pretty rare and was after a white one, as i said i love it and that is all what matters.Are you right in saying that if i was to buy some bn headlights from toyota without the clips and fittings, that they will go on with the fittings from my sr?Yeah June is gonna be a busy one have to try and fit my 21st in with all this lol thankschanelle Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chanelle1234 Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Will be giving my new baby a good clean on sat prob spend bout 5-6hours cleaning her thoroughly wash, polish, wax and hoover, so will be getting some better pic up then, the ones on here atm are from the bloke i bought it from. Just seen a trd backbox on tgtt exactly the same as mine but was seriously rusty he wanted £80 + postage, ohh my god!! i got a graet bargain lol. Also im hopefully getting the black strips removed on friday so should look one hell of a lot better but will depend if we have enough time or not.Tucka to answer your question i am gonna get some rust killer which i will will put on a few hours before fitting the skirts.chanelle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 ThanjksAnything you would recommend at all for the sill?chanelleClean it up as best you can, so there's no rust, use some acid etch to seal the metal, works brilliantly.Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
